Go to your local drugstore and buy a night guard.  You will boild it so that it conforms to your mounth.  It sounds uncomfortable and obstrusive, but it really isnt, and you'll barley notice it during the night.  This will stopp grinding from damaging your teeth.

It will go away take the strongest pain killer you can find and get some sleep try to stay off the side in pain. Your teeth are very sensitive right now, so put the front to use, and stay away from too hot or too cold foods. I've been through it, hope you feel better

ew...first, maintain proper oral hygiene...use some mouthwash to keep germs etc away from the site.  Also, they make non prescription pain medication for them..i think Ambisol (sp) is one of them, give it a shot.

try an ice cube in the palm of your hand or massage palm of hand or arch of foot. Its known that the nerves path is the same in your hand and the ice "blocks" the pain path (so to speak) \nIts worked on toothaches.

Sounds like you have a dry socket.  Since it's Sunday night, let me offer the following suggestion for tonight:\n\nBite on a moist piece of gauze exactly the way you did after your tooth was removed.  Keep changing the gauze as needed.  This will keep the air and saliva from getting in there and that is the cause of a lot of the pain.  You COULD get some benzocaine 20% (OraJel, etc) and put a dab on the gauze where it will touch the socket if plain gauze doesn't stop the pain.\n\nOf course, you already know that you need to see the dentist for proper treatment and best relief.

Hi. Let me explain this to you. Maybe when you understand the science behind it, you will feel better!\n1. Having 3 Wisdom teeth out tomorrow, under LOCAL ANESTHETIC. Will it be very very painful?\nAns: Since its under local anesthetic, I am assuming they have erupted. Right? Then, all it involves is gently lifting them out of the socket. You will be very numb, and will not feel any pain Only some pressure. \n2. Really considering chickening out. Really don't want to do it.\nAns: You have to have them out at some point. Go for it! Once you are in the chair and lying back, you will feel the tension leave our body. Its ok to be anxious. But don't let anxiety stand in the way of your health care.\n3.Really hate needles/injections. Will they hurt? How many will i need?\nAns: You will be fine. Close your eyes. Think of what you like best. Usually its only the sensation of the needle and not real pain. Once you get the first, rest will be a cakewalk!\n4. will there be lots of blood? EEK.\nAns: Its your own blood! Do not be afraid! \n5. Can mum come in with me? I live in England\nAns: I do not know what the dental clinic policy is and how old you are. But your mother can come to the clinic (be in the waiting area) with you and take you home. You will need to take someone with you. Its advisable!\nYOU WILL BE FINE! JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH. THINK OF THE DAY AFTER. \nYou will have pain meds and the clinic should be able to tell you what you need to and shouldn't do.\nGood luck!

Sounds like your tooth is infected.  If you don't have insurance and can't afford the dentist, I would suggest going to the emergency room... at least there they can prescribe you an antibiotic and some pain medication.  Even without insurance, an emergency room at a hospital has to see you and treat you.  The antibiotic will take care of the infection now and the pain should go away.. however, beware.. until you see a dentist and have the tooth either fixed or taken out, it's going to eventually become infected again and you'll once again be in pain.  \n\nUntil you can either get to a dentist or get to an emergency room, you can take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength for the pain.  It has an anti-inflammatory in it so it's going to work better than Tylenol or aspirin.\n\nGood luck to you.

If you go to the pharmacy or supermarket there is a cool thing over with the oragel.  I can't remember the name of it, but it comes with a small glass jar, tweezers and little tiny cotton pieces.  This is especially helpful if you have a cavity hole and can stuff a piece in there.  This will make it go numb and give you a little rest.  I found by loading up on the ibuprophen, alternating between that stuff and oragel it bought me 2 weeks until I went to the doctors and got a prescription for vicodin to last until my next doctor's appointment (3 days later).\n\nCheck with your doctor and see if you can get a pain killer, but also make sure to get an antibiotic so the infection will start going down before you see the dentist, then if they need to do anything they won't have to worry about infection.  The infection going down will also help relieve the pain.  Good Luck

I broke my tooth a while back on a mcdonalds french fry... nice huh, anyways i didnt do anything i did get some wax for your mouth that helps it from cutting your tongue or gums, but they do have temp fillings at like walmart that will get you by until you go to the dentist but you really should talk with them alot of times if you put the busted part in your own spit or in milk (dont rinse it) they can usually put it back on....... good luck!

Hey I feel your pain! Had mine removed last fall.  For the first few days I just ate food I didn't have to chew so I didn't get food stuck in the wounds - yogurt, etc.  Also, and this is important!--  Ask your dentist's office for a special thing that looks like a clear plastic little syringe - you fill it with water and spray into your wounds to clean them.  That helped me a lot!feel better soon, good luck! :)

Going to the dentist.depending on where you live there are emergency dentist that will work you in. Also a damp tea bag will relieve the pain. I know I am a retire dentist:)

Sleep on an extra pillow to elevate your head.  Sleep on the side that does NOT have a toothache.  If that doesn't work, you can move to a recliner or the sofa so you can keep your head really elevated.  This will minimize the blood flow to the area and therefore minimize the throbbing and pain.  This might help you make it through the night until you can see a dentist.\n\nTry an ice pack, also.  If that hurts, switch to heat.  Sorry for the guess, but I'd start with ice, which would calm an abscess.  You can even rinse with ice water.  Have some warm water standing by the first time you try it, though!

Ask the dentist. If they give you anesthesia then maybe.

As it is a stress-related ailment, you want to allow the jaw to relax as much as possible.  I don't think any particular food by itself would make the pain worse, but I would avoid steaks, chops, Twizzlers, salt water taffy, walnuts... \n\nYou get the picture.  Eat something smooth and soothing.  Try a risotto or a soup or something.
