Q. I had a filling before Christmas but I get a shooting pain up my tooth when I drink or eat anything and I had major toothache today in school but I stuck it out all though it was killing me and stopping me from working.
I rang up the dentist and they have no available spots till late next week. This toothache is continuing and my mum said she'd take me to the emergency dentist tomorrow after school if it continues. How do I stick it out tomorrow though?

A. Remember not to bite when you have a toothache. Many times not using the tooth will allow it to heal quietly and return to normal.
You can also use ice to suck on several times a day. If you act like your toothache is a bruise then you will be able to relieve the pain somewhat. Just put some ice in the cheek where the affected tooth is. Leave it there until it melts and repeat every few hours.
If cold air is affecting your tooth and giving you a toothache then just keep your mouth closed. It really isn�t that difficult so do your best to keep your mouth shut and avoid letting cold air get in your mouth.
Make sure you swallow any aspirin you take. Don�t place it on your tooth because you could get an aspirin burn.
Use these methods to help you cure a toothache. It should relieve the pain enough to get you through the time before you dental appointment.

Help please??
Help please??
A. The most effective, besides medication, is ice.
Put an ice pack on the jaw where it hurts; leave it on for 20 minutes ONLY; wait at least 20 minutes and put it on again.
I had wisdom teeth removed; that's what I did.

will they cancel my general anesthetic if im on antibiotics for a tooth abscess?
Q. hi im due to go in for foot surgery on monday. i will be having a general anesthetic. i have developed an abscess on my tooth which i think i will be getting antibiotics for from the emergency dentist tomorrow. will this affect my operation on monday?
A. The general principle is that an elective (planned) operation is only undertaken when the patient is as fit as he can be. If you have an infection already, the risk is that the infection can spread to the operation site. Orthopaedic surgeons are particularly fussy, because bone and joint infections are particularly difficult to deal with. It is not the general anaesthetic that should be cancelled, it is the operation.
