Infection

~ i once had a absess toot well i advise to take anti-biotic medicine or much better go to the dentist...believe me it will worsen and will pain alot....

Well, my situation wasn't as bad as yours, but just the same. When I was in my late 20's, my teeth started going down hill. I would brush 3 times a day, floss, etc. Drink plenty of milk to make them stronger. After I had my first child, I didn't notice any changes. Well, when she was 2, my teeth started to chip very easily. I was always going to the dentist it wasn't even funny. It gets despressing when one tells you, he will keep fixing your teeth because I had money, but all I was doing was putting his kids through college. My teeth have become really weak. I been told I brush to hard, so I got a softer brush which didn't help. Been told my daughter took all the calcium from my teeth even though I drank a lot of milk while pregnant with her. So, around 01, my teeth took a turn for the worse when I got a chip. I was pregnant with my last child. I noticed that every time I brushed my teeth, pieces of my teeth would crumble. I would just sit and cry it was so bad. To top it off, I bit into a piece of soft bread and lost a few of my teeth, that was my breaking point. The dentist wouldn't touch me because I was pregnant, so I had to suffer til I had her. Well, when I was able to go, I was told that I couldn't save my teeth. While I was pregnant, I had a absess tooth in the very back of my mouth. I had to take the basic of pain meds for the pain. I'm allergic to penicillin so that was out. Sucking on ice helps, plus crushing up asprin or what ever you have as well. For you, I would call around to every dentist and see if they offer payment plans. Now if you brush your teeth and pieces breaks off, then all you will be doing is going back all the time to have repair work done. I'm 30 now going on 31, sad to say I have to wear false teeth. With this I learned that all the women nearly on my mom's side has false teeth, I read about women that lost there teeth while pregnant, can't remember the medical name they gave for it. I can remember right after the whole process of getting false teeth, I had dreams of having my teeth again. It is depressing to look at pictures were I have my teeth. You do though need to get the absess taken care of. The area were it's infected can spread to the surrounding teeth, it can also get into your blood stream and make you sick. Only thing I can think of to do til you get to a doctor is after you pop it, instead of using warm salt water is use Peroxide to rinse with. Just use equal amount of peroxide with a equal amount of water, then use like you would with the salt water. You might have to rinse again with just water to help get it all out. Hope that helps, also know that your not alone in this. There's so many young people out there with this same problem. Don't let people joke you because of this. This isn't a joking matter.

Teeth become healty depending on the food that you take when the teeth are being formed. Unfortunately there is nothing that you can do about it after that. But don't leave cavities to become large. Fill them up. A sure temporary remedy is to place a drop of "Clove oil" on the infection. It will pain immediately but will die off later. Also use the toothpaste called Thermoseal RA. That will help to some extent.

I have had abesses before too and I know how painful they are the only thing I have ever done is gone to the doctor and they perscribe penecillin to get rid of the infection. even if you did go to the dentist they wouldn't touch it til you saw the doctor for medicine to clear the infection anyhow so thats what I suggest for you. Hope you get better soon

Ouch, abcesses can really get nasty. I would think you should see a dentist to prescribe an antibiotic as soon as you can. I've never heard of an abcess being cured. Good luck with it and I hope it doesn't cause you a lot of pain.

I can't help you with the infection and I know how expensive dentists can be..but maybe this will help. Is there a dental school near you? Can you get work done there, they will often do dental work for free or on a sliding scale. The people who do work are students, but they are surpervised by real dentists and do excellent work. I think often better then a regular dentist because of they are not tip-top..they won't graduate.

I have dental issues too, and I can't afford the dentist neither. Have you tried rinsing with Listerine or a generic listerine. Sometimes that helps with infections. Good luck, I know what you are going thru. I live with mouth and jaw pain everyday, it is truely scary.

For your sake go to the dentist and have it removed immediatly and the dentist will also give you an antibotic to kill the germ. Tell them you dont insurance and are willing to pay when you can. They have to except you. So get busy and start calling some dentists. And I hope you feel better.

what you really need to is,go see a dentist an get some medication for the infection.dont be like my neice she waited to long an the infection cause her to get a big knot in her jaw an then they had to do major surgery on her.now she has a big scar on her jaw bone.if you can,i know i shouldnt say this,but get some antibiotics off of someone you know if you cant afford to go to the dentist.i looked in my medical book an it said to soak a small piece of cotton in oil of cloves an pack it were the infection is."its an old medical remedy book".but the best thing to do is go see a dentist.i hope you get better soon.

Ohhh, a fellow dental sufferer! Don't bother with the alternative medicine stuff, they only work if you jump on the very first signs of infection. Talk to your primary care physician, explain your difficulty affording the dentist, they may be able to prescribe the antibiotic for you. I know this is acceptable medical practice in the US, because dental infections can easily travel into the bloodstream and cause bacterial endocarditis, which can destroy the valves in your heart. And for the love of god, STOP POPPING IT! I know this provides some temporary relief, but every wound, no matter how small, provides an opportunity for the bacteria to enter your bloodstream, which can cause life-threatening complications. Warm salt water rinses are fine, you can even use diluted hydrogen peroxide as a rinse, although it tastes foul. Some temporary relief from the pain can also be had with a hot water bottle. I'm sorry to put up such a dire post. I was homeless for 6 months a few years ago, had an awful abcess just like yours, poked it to relieve the pressure and rinsed it, just like you. I wound up in the cardiac care unit, and have a heart murmur from the damage done to my valves. Please, please be careful, and ask your regular doc for help. Good luck and better health to you, Punky, I'll keep a light on in my heart for you.

I feel sorry for your situation .I did have the same problem as yours many years ago when i was 28 years old.I had a very bad tooth ache and absseses. I didn't go the dentist because i was so scare if the dentist might want me to have a minor surgery . I decided to go to my physician to find out if any supplement can help my toothache and abssese problem. He adviced me to take Vtamine C and Calcium magnesim.(make sure you buy the natural supllement.not the synthetic one). Synthetic vitamine-A lot more cheaper than natural vitamines because it's made from the combination of different chemical. Naturalvitamine -Derives from plants extract.is the best source of nutrient for health which your body can easily absorb. After 2-3 days i took the supplement suprisingly my toothache and absses are gone .It's amazing.I'm still taking the supplemnt now,beleive me since then i have never have toothache again.I hope this will you.Good luck! Ps: However you still need to remove the decayed tooth when the pain is subsided.

Gardengrrl is completely correct! I work for a dentist so I can tell you the ONLY thing that will get rid of an infection is an antibitoic. And the longer you wait the worse it's going to get. PLEASE don't pop it anymore,it is VERY dangerous to do that because even though you are rinsing, it can get in your blood stream and land you in the hospital! You can either call your regular MD or dentist but most of them won't call you in something unless you came in for an appointment. Maybe they will let you make payments? Our office also participates in something called Care Credit which is kind of like a credit card that you can use to pay with then you make payments to Care Credit. If your credit's not that great then you can have a co-signer. We also take post dated checks up to 2 weeks. I would add that most of the time, if your teeth are in pretty bad shape, it is often less costly to have them pulled and get dentures. If there are some that can be saved you may want to ask about partial dentures instead. We've had several people under 30 who have gotten them and WOW, you should see the difference! If you can avoid it, I would not go the route of cheap ones though. They end up not working for most people after 4-6 months as their gums heal and the denture doesn't fit anymore. Hope some of this helps and you get better!
