Dental Pain – What Kills It?

Not that I am an expert, but ibuprofen ( NSAIDS) 600-800 mg 3X day works well. If not call and ask him to phone in some vicodin to get you through the weekend. Also see if he can call lab and have permanent crowns rushed through for you but it might be a good idea to have them cemented with a temporary cement to make sure that these teeth are not going to need root canal therapy first.
Good chance he left them high ( the temporaries touched when you closed before the rest of your teeth. This can cause basically like a bruise between the roots of the teeth and the socket). After a few days of biting, this can get very sore. It sounds like he took away some of the temporary crowns so that they do not touch when you bite- this will allow the bruise to heal but will take a few days. You want to make sure things are getting better every day- not worse. If getting worse, these teeth might need root canals.
I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

 

I always have problems with temp crowns. My dentist gives me Darvocet.

 

need more info.
-are the teeth thermally sensitive, ie sensitive to hot or cold?
-sensitivity to biting?
-throbbing at night?
-spontaneously sensitive, meaning nothing elicits the pain?
-do you feel swollen?
-when were the teeth prepped?

Xylocaine

 

vicodin

 

When I was teething as a baby and my gums were hurting, my mom purportedly would dip her finger in a bottle of Metaxa and rub her finger on my gums. I imagine an adult-sized portion would help your particular predicament.

 

had a root canal and crown done recently. came home a put ice on my face all day. worked fine although the dogs couldn't figure out why my head was all wrapped up

 

constant pain and throbbing at night is indicative of nerve inflammation. may be reversible but probably irreversible nerve damage. ask your dds for a referral to an endodontist(root canal specialist) for a consultation. dds can also try to remake and cement the temps with a cement containing eugenol. it is soothing to nerves. sensitivity to cold is indicative of a poor fitting temp. of course i'm diagnosing this over the internet, which is a huge disadvantage. good luck

 

Ed must have stayed at Holiday Inn last night also lol.

 

WRONG!!!!

Of course that will play havoc with any anabolic someone would be taking.

 

Your endodonist makes an obscene amount of money....trust me.

 

No , he does not make near enough. Imagine, being single , sitting at a bar. An attractive woman walks up, sits down, conversation starts. "So what do you do for a living?"
"Well, I am an endodontist, a dentist that specializes in root canals".
She runs for the door until she sees his 458 valeted at front door.
Just kidding, one of my best friends is an endo here is Dallas. She raced Ferrari World Challenge when it was in the 355s then went to Porsche, the Viper and lately some kind of Dodge.

 

I recommend a good bottle of peter michael and an opioid based painkiller. Just don't take too many or you'll die.

 

Sounds like an irreversible pulpitis at this point. I would ask for a referral to a local endodontist today. He can do a pulpotomy ( take the top part of the nerve out) and place some medication inside of the tooth that will stop the pain almost immediately. A good endodontist can do this in 10 minutes.

Don't neglect the Bourbon though...

A few Godfathers with Knob Creek tend to mend anything, as far as I've experienced.

Jack's and Seven has worked for me in the past. Be sure to swill around the affected area before dilution.
