I am battling from excruciating tooth pain at the moment. The tooth under my bridge has gone rotten, so it wasn’t a matter of dental hygeine, but rather not being able to clean under a cemented bridge for access. It is the phantom pain that knocks me over where I feel the pain where the tooth isn’t even there. I rub my tongue against it. I want to scream and shout, even cry.
It is the weekend, so I can’t get access to a dentist. I can’t sleep. I follow the recommended paracetamol intake, but the pain only lessens for 45 minutes. I can’t take another dose for 4 hours and it takes 45 minutes for it to kick in. I have two more nights of this before I can get to the dentist on Monday.
This is going to be a difficult weekend indeed. I even left the house as I was running out of paractamol to the local shop to prove how much pain I am in. Wild horses couldn’t drag me out before, but the pain is so bad I had to.
I gave up sugar years ago, due to the fact that I knew if i ate it it would cause me pain. My gums are receeding, so it is not worth the risk of having sugar. It seemed to have worked for 10 years.
I just need my teeth to hold out for 2 more years, because then I will be coming into some money for fixed dentures which cost £19,000.
At times like these I wish all my teeth were pulled out for good!
