Tooth aches

I am in a fucking agony tonight.

25 and I have had 4 root canals so far, spent more money on dental procedures than most of my friends. It's not a matter of hygiene, my mother had most of her real teeth gone by the age of 35, and put in implants, or has crowns. People who know what I am talking about can relate to the feeling of demonic agony in your mouth when a nerve is exposed.

So the thing is... my insurance kicks on on the 1st of next month, and I cannot see the doc for another week.

I'd rather not with opioid analgesics and stick to nsaids, but the latter kind barely helps. Salty water doesn't do much either. Any suggestions?

At this point,shamanistic dancing around the bonfire, and exorcism are absolutely welcome, if they may relieve me of my misery 😄 😆 😢

Been there! It's worse, and I can honestly say it hurts more than a C Section. I've used reiki on myself to get relief. Anbesol works, too, but you have to keep reapplying.

this is nothing special, most of the population lose most of their teeth by the time they're 40.
Another part of the population will keep healthy teeth till the age of 90, but generally they live in non-industrial countries with frugal alimentation.

One of the worst food for the teeth is roasted nuts like peanuts.
It breaks down in tiny particles that dont mix with water and can stay stuck between the enamel and gum for days, rotting and attacking the tooth.

teeth are such a hassle

I agree dentistry is a business. As for your teeth, use a none sulfate and flouride toothpaste.

Closys toothpaste is good. You'll find it at Walgreen

Tooth decay is strongly linked to nutrition or lack of minerals in your diet. Someone mentioned Cod Liver Oil, that's a good place to start.

Plus I think most dentist don't care or didn't receive enough training. They just hop out of school and go straight to opening their own practice. I'm sure when theyre planning a vacation or made an extravagent purchase all of a sudden their patients have more cavities or need to have a tooth pulled.
