The Whole Mouth! - Auburn, AL

Hi Jenn :) So sorry to hear how much pain you are in :( My pain lasted almost 2.5 weeks. I was given 12 pain pills at first then 24 more within about I took about 6 a day and was still not in any better shape. So I went back to the dentist for the 3rd time and he tried to tell me it was all in my mind and that I was just anxious so he gave me a prescription for valium...needless to say it was not anxiety it was pain and the valium did not help. I was told by a dental assistant while I was there that if I took 6 extra strength tylenol it would help the pain. I asked her if I was to take them all at once she said yes so I did, this was on a friday and my pain was only being relieved by takeing the tylenol every 3 to 4 hours so by the end of the weekend I had taken 62 tylenol and then had to go to the urgent care because my husband was worried that I had taken way too many (which I had!) To shorten this up my liver and blood work as good he gave me an antibiotic and naproxen and I felt 80% better the next day. Why the dentist never thought to give me an antibiotic or prescription strength anti-inflammatory I don't know. If your dentist won't do anything go to your doctor. I hope you feel better soon. I don't think I have ever been in that much pain for such a long period of time. Good luck :) oh btw my husband is still active duty so the dental insurance covered 1,300 we covered 17,000 (gonna be payin my teeth off forever!)

Well I went back and got the perms on I expressed my concerns about the pain and asked about root canals and they just kind of dismissed me and went about their business. Now my problem is that my bite is now uneven. The bridge on top that includes tooth 2-5 is hitting first and the other side of my mouth is not hitting at all. I told him that and again was dismissed as if I didn't know what I was talking about. He filed 2 of my brand new bottom crowns and then said to come back in 5 days for another adjustment...the bridge has bridge has been put in with perm cement. I do not want him touching the bottom crowns anymore as the one he did file are sore now. Is he able to grind down the bridge so my jaw will meet on both sides and the can it be polished so it is not rough? :(
