re: Let me succinctly explain my current Tooth Abcess for those who haven’t had the pleasure

If you're into snake oil home remedies look up MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution). Great for emergencies, I've knocked out an an abscess and a sore throat with a quickness.

Brb, gone brush my teeth

My abscess pushed my tooth out of the socket.

I had the same thing happen...the only thing I have had that was more painful was a kidney stone.

Nothing disperses in the mind all petty, trivial, and superficial concerns and reduces all notions of self importance, bravado, and ego mania to insignificance like a toothache.

Clove oil applied liberally if you have it and the defect is accessible will bring significant relief.

Prayers and best wishes.

I had one that blew up so fast overnight the oral surgeon said another 6 hours would have killed me. over one and half cups of fluid drained..set a record at the office.

Oh dear God. I had what I "thought" was a bad one a few months ago, but it wasn't nearly that bad. After a day of warm salt water gargling, I was able to lance it myself. It felt a million times better immediately. The pus oozing out of that thing in my mouth was one of the grossest things ever, especially combined with the terrible smell that it produced

What a brilliant description. I just fell asleep and woke up after an hour with the pain at nine. I took a hydrocodone and it’s calmed . Jesus the pain. It just focuses you , makes you almost panicky. I’m reminding myself to be grateful for the pain. Dead people don’t feel pain.

I got a root canal a year ago. This is an abcess at the site of that root canal way down as far away from the crown as you can get. The endodontist saw me immediately and walked me through the options earlier- very good care. The plan is to wait until the antibiotics tamp down the infection and either try again with a new root canal or remove it. I favor removing at this point because it’s the last tooth .

A friend of mine had a abscessed tooth a few years ago. He said the pain was so bad he actually popped it himself. Pain went away and never bothered him again

Congrats on the bad hygiene and substance abuse problem.

You have to drink whisky with the pain pills to get the full effect
