Tooth Pain Posted: 01-09-04 16:24pm
I don't know if anyone can help me, but
yesterday I had a tooth extraction and
afterwards I was in more pain than I was
in before it was taken out. I had to take
three vicodin(every 4 hours) just to get
rid of the pain. I expected there to be
pain, but it is almost umbearable. Can
anyone give me some info?

By the way I am in pain .. I didnt have
pain with the tooth..Now that its
pulled..I have pain and and I have
sensitivity to hot and cold foods....
I found out the abscess I had on my gum
could have been drained. The dentist was
in the wrong, he just wanted to make money
so I could have it pulled and get a bridge
or implant put in..Which is a lot of money
for him

i am not sure what tooth it is. Wow I
can' t believe the dentist would do that.
I'm going to have a bridge put in too.
They told me it would be about 2000 dollar
to put in. I went to two dentist thought
and they told me that if it was not
removed it could brake and my whole face
could swell up. Now that the tooth is out
just the right side of my face is
swollen.Lol

Thats what the crook dentist told me too,
that my face would be swollen but the
other dentist I saw later on told me they
all say that..That the last thing u want
to do is remove the tooth..Always save it,
drain the abscess or get antibiotics..Do
not remove unless there is no hope, that
is the last resort.
Have a implant put in not bridge..If its
only one tooth..Because for the bridge,
they have to shave down the 2 teeth in
front and back and crown them for the
bridge..But with the implant, its one
tooth they can put in with titanium and it
stays in and you wont have to ruin your
other teeth..

Does the implaint hurt? The tooth next to
the one that was taken out has to have a
crown put on it so I was thinking of a
bridge, but now I think I will go for the
bridge. The sad thing is that i'm only
18, and if what you say is true the
dentist really screwed me over.
