itsheresomewhere Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I can't get into the only oral surgeon on my plan until thursday. And I am petrified of dentists so this is great. I am having the worst pain from one since saturday night. Right now, while I am searching for a general dentist that will take our plan what is a great natural way to relieve pain. I am taking white willow bark for it. I am allergic to asprin. I have a pretty high pain tolerence but this is bad. We just got insurance so that is why I don't have a regular dentist yet and also, most don't want a patient who ask questions around here- anti flouride, etc. Thank you. Sorry if this does not make since but I am having a bad pain episode right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celticmom Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I have heard of using cayenne pepper applied to the area but have never tried it myself. I have also heard of using a clove the same way but I have not tried that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleIzumi Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'd really push to try & get in earlier than Thurs if you can. If it's infected (which causes severe pain) it can get into the nerves & cause permanent damage. I just missed that, as my (new, just saw him for this) dentist pushed to get me in the day he saw me, last slot of the day, and my cheek/gums were indeed starting to go numb that day. They got it out & treated in time, but that was scary. :grouphug: Clove oil will help numb it but if it's infected/in severe pain, I'd try to get in sooner or see a regular dentist (tell them it's an emergency) & they can pull some strings.

I just got back from an emergency extraction. I went to my kids pediatric dentist for a recommendation and he called someone he uses. Went to this oral surgeon and they pulled it right then and there. I couldn't get in with anyone today but thanks to the kids dentist helping me. Great staff and wonderful doc.
