So I am feeling like House right now...

[Matt@WDWR]

no not a house... Dr. Gregory House as he pops his Vicadin. haha I have this mother of all toothaches and I've been popping these prescription pain pills (specifically for tooth troubles) until I get it yanked (It's the very last tooth on the bottom. It's cracked in half and the dentist said it would be about a grand to cap it. Err.. yank that sucker)

Anyways, I accidentally left my pain medication at work and the tooth decides to start killing me now. (I blame D23). Anybody got an extra ice skate so I can knock this tooth out a la Tom Hanks in Cast Away? I'd laugh harder but the pain is currently stretching from my lower jaw to the top of my head.

Call you local 24 hour drug store and ask if the carry clove oil.

It tastes AWFUL but will stop the toothache and allow you to sleep.

pull off a small bit of cottton from a qtip or such. Soak it in the clove oil and stick it in the cracked part.

I swear this will help. I have found it is often the ONLY thing that will help.

Accept no substitutions. It has to be "clove oil".

Thank you so much!!! I will definitely call and at the worst, buy 395 bottles to store forever. I realized today that toothache pain is like no other. ugh.

If you ever saw the movie Marathon Man.....it's what Laurence Olivier gives Dustin Hoffman after that terrifying dental scene.

If you havent seen it...now's not the time.

And you are right....toothache pain is relentless.

No I haven't seen it and thank you for the warning. I do not think I'll be checking my netflix's instant queue anytime soon!

Bad news is that in this moderate size town I live in about an hour south of Atlanta, there is not a 24 pharmacy. Instead I have taken 3 ibuprofens and drowned my tooth in my 9 month old's baby orajel. Oh that's right, I just used half a bottle of baby orajel on my tooth. Well it does feel better at the moment. Now I just have to be at work in 6 hours. Yay! haha

I will be grabbing me some clove oil tomorrow for sure and suck it up and schedule me an appointment to get it taken care of.

OUCH!! Hope you get that thing out quick!!

Kevin, love the info on the "clove oil" I will get some just in case! Good to know!

 

[Matt@WDWR]

Thanks for the well wishes! I hope so as well but I have serious reservations about voluntarily walking into a dentist. haha Maybe I can get my Dad to force me to go. Although at 34, maybe I should get over my anti-dentite feelings. lol
