#tooth pain
Text
So I realized the other day that my cold/sweet/pressure teeth sensitivity can be considered chronic pain. I never thought of it like that. But like. I legit can't drink a smoothie without being in severe pain. I've had a severe reaction to BBQ sauce before. I have to be careful w crunchy foods bc my teeth hate certain pressures.
Like. Most people are not in pain while eating. This is not "normal".
(And yes, I see a dentist regularly. I have fairly healthy teeth. It's just how they are. But it's awful)
Anyhow. I needed to express that.

If you have chronic nerve pain (trigeminal neuralgia) due to your broken wisdom tooth like I do, here’s my list of things to try for pain management. These things might help for other chronic or acute facial nerve pain issues, jaw pain, broken teeth, wisdom tooth pain, toothache, etc.
• Ibuprofen, Tylenol and most medications severely interact with my other conditions, especially my stomach conditions, so I avoid them as much as possible. Liquid versions aren’t as bad if I can find dye free, citric acid free, versions in flavors I’m not allergic to. These can help for a lot of people though, just ask your dr if you’re unsure.
• Brushing the broken area, gently, to clean out any food particles that might be stuck in it is hit or miss but can make a difference. It’s always sore for a while after brushing so that’s a con
• I make homemade clove tinctures with vodka and whole and ground cloves. I let it sit in a glass container in a cool,dark place for as long as possible and shake it when I see it (keep it with your spices you’ll remember it more). Then I take a gauze pad and get a dropper full and put it on it. Both cloves and vodka have anesthetic properties and can numb it for a bit. It’s a very temporary solution, also can cause soreness from pressure on the tooth.
• Hot pad on the cheek can cause soreness too (a running theme) BUT it helps a lot especially with cold sensitivity. After you remove the hot pad you can be extra sensitive to the cold or drafts in the air so that sucks too but it passes after a couple mins usually.
• Waterpik flossers are great for sensitive mouth issues, and clean out the tooth area with minimal soreness. Great but takes more spoons to do than toothbrushing and is less portable.
• CBD oil is hit or miss. I have other serious chronic pain disorders and just like many generalized pain management options, it can sometimes get rid of the headache I didn’t notice anymore or the joint pain I dissociate out of existence. Like yeah, glad thats gone but it just makes me focus on the other pain more. Some CBD options aren’t strong enough to do shit for me.
• Warm salt water gargle/rinse is helpful for me most of the time, and it is really important to keep any broken teeth very, very clean due to infection risk. The warmth and salt can help with the pain overall though and so far doesn’t have negative effects for me. It’s very mild in terms of managing the pain though, it’s like a soft gentle kiss on a boo-boo. Feels nice in the moment but when you’re done it usually just goes back to the pain your had.
• TENS units might work for you. I have several electrical abnormalities in my heart so I’m not allowed to use TENS but I’ve heard they can help. Definitely ask a dr first for this one though because I don’t know all the safety risks especially with facial pain
• Warm environments with no drafts or wind, ideal for this pain, for me is not ideal bc of my cardiac issues.
• Medical ultrasound machine, I’ve used these for other conditions in PT and they help a lot!! I don’t know if you can get these outside of a medical setting, especially for a reasonable price, but a provider might be able to help with this. There is the ultrasound goop they put on wherever they do it though so like, might not be fun and also might be a bit sore after?
• Last resort: adult beverages so I’m not paying attention to the pain. Works best for sleeping for me, but obviously has it’s drawbacks.
I avoid:
- Cold environments
- Drafts and wind on my face
- Cold foods
- Hard foods
- Sleeping on the side that hurts
- Chewing on that side
- Talking too much, chewing gum, etc.
- Going anywhere without at least one pain management option available
- Trying to sleep without a pain management option or plan ready to go
- Not brushing my teeth, at minimum I use mouthwash after meals
And some important reminders:
• Watch out for signs of infection and get treatment ASAP. Dental infections are no joke and can be life threatening quickly, especially if you have certain medical conditions such as heart valve disorders (like me).
• These recommendations are from personal experience, talk to your medical providers to see if they’re right for you. I am not a doctor just a humble chronically ill person.
• These are not a replacement for actual medical treatments for your condition, you should still see a professional if you can.
• Many insurances don’t cover dental, dental issues are more common amongst poor people, rooted in the idea that you can still work with fucked up teeth or without teeth . Hence why they’re called “luxury bones”

All of my molars are still hurting everytime I eat/chew. I also think I forgot to take my Cymbalta last night, so that sucks. I completely forgot. I haven't felt any withdrawals yet, so hopefully the half life of it will stay until my next dosage.
Still looking for any comments on if anyone else has experienced tooth pain while being on Cymbalta, and if so, if it disappeared eventually. (I'm very worried it's rapid tooth decay, but I've been on the medication for less than 2 weeks, it would be setting in extremely quickly if it were the case).
I genuinely don't think I've been clenching my jaw because I have no jaw discomfort or pain at all, just the tooth pain.

Warm applecrumble and cold vanilla ice cream is an effective way to determine if you need root canal treatment. Not a very pleasant one.
(An ice pack or frozen peas help. Also pressing a can of soda from a wending machine against the cheek, near the offending tooth helps)

my mouth feels like it's in pain in every waking moment of existence
like I bite a thin cracker and just get a shocked through my whole fucking mouth and just have to stop and give it a moment
At least my meds makes me have a loss of appetite anyway lol Hopefully it'll get better once I finally get a nightguard, but obvious it won't be perfectly fixed

My wife, @jemomgershippingco has set up a fundraiser for my teeth.
My mentor was kind enough to set up a little website for me, for other donation offerings.
I’m in a lot of pain.

*Googles how to make salt water rinse*
*Reads* Most saltwater rinse recipes call for 8 ounces of warm water and 1 teaspoon of salt.
*Looks at cup*
*Looks at sink*
*Runs tongue over sore tooth*
Eh, five+ teaspoons of salt to a third of a mug of warm water should be OK.

Hi Niu! When I have tooth pain, this is my routine for getting pain free: 1. Gargle with salt water. Let it rest against the painful area for a couple seconds each time. 2. Put Ibuprofen gel on the outside skin area where the pain is. Like on your lower left jaw, when a tooth hurts there. 3. Drink as much chamomile tea as you can. It is anti infection/ inflamation. 4. Cool the area from outside with a cooling pad. If possible, take pain medication (Ibuprofen or Metamizol work best). Take care 💕
Thank you! I will try the salt water trick right away :3 I've had a strong doze of painkillers, all in vain, so I'm genuinely worried it's a big infection - AGAIN.
