DrugBuyers.Com: Help For Toothache???

Oh Gosh - -
I feel SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad for your boyfriend!!! I swear that tooth pain can be some of the most excrutiating pain I have ever experienced. I mean I am in daily pain ever since my back surgery failed and even though the pain I experience with my back can be debilitating, I still think a tooth ache, and i mean A REALLY BAD tooth ache (probably what your boyfriend is suffering through) is worse than the back pain.

Unfortunately I too have had more dental work than anyone else my age that I have ever met! There are so many contributing factors that had been the root factor to the deteriation of my healthy teeth (no joke inteneded for the "root" problem - -haha)

I grew up in the country in CA and we had well water, but unfortunately for us we did not have flouride in the water. Also, I developed a pretty bad eating disorder for several of my teenage years and lets just say that like acid reflux, which forces the stomach acids to break down the enamel on the teeth thus allowing bacteria to get in there and DESTROY anything in sight.....well same goes for peaople that have had or still had an eating disorder like bulimia. Same thory stands.....acid from the stomach destroys the teeth. And not to sound too graphic here to anyone but the one really helpful thing I learned from my dentist about bulimics was that so many of them think that if they brush their teeth immediately after um, well, immediately after expelling their food that they will save their teeth any damage that the acid may had caused, however the complete opposite will occurr. When they brush their teeth after the stomic acid has made contact, they are basically brushing even more of the enamel off. I do not remember the details as I was told this many years ago, far too long after the advice could have helped me but it seemed like such good logical sense that I always try to pass it on whenever I can. I know that was a bit off topic but I wanted to throw it in.

But enough about me, I did just want to add one other tip I learned to help with the tooth pain, and it may sound yucky but it did help me one or two times. What you do is smash up an aspirin into powder, then put the powder on the gum over the teeth that hurt. Rub it in and leave it there as long as possible. I am not sure how this works but it did helpo me once when I was on vacation with a horrenous tooth ache and no help in sight. The hotel clerk told me about the tea bag (which I might add also helps those people with dark spots on their faces if they put a tea bag over the sopts every night and the spots will eventually fade...just a little tip for y'all) But anyway, the aspirin surprisingly helped.

I am not sure if this will even help your boyfriend since his situation is far more serious than just a cavity and most likely will need to only use pain meds until he gets them pulled.

Also, it must suck for the both of you to now have to deal with the fact that he is going to lose some of his beautiful teeth, because it REALLY is a traumatic thing to come to terms with, especially since this seemed to pop up from nowhere and he has not even had much time to deal with it, not to mention he is in such horrible pain right now that he just wants them out of his mouth so he can finally make the pain STOP. Sadly because he has been in pain the whole time he has found out he will lose 5 teeth he really is in for culture shock when the oral surgeon wakes him up and tells him he is done. Then the real horror will kick in.

I just wanted to point that out to you because in all honesty he really may have a hard time coping. I know people are probably saying "coping, what do you mean...it's not like he had cancer or anything" but to anone that thinks losing 5 otherwise healthy teeth all of a sudden is not a shocking experience has obviously never had any teeth problem, surely not at a young age. I mean being 21-19 and losing 3 teeth from my own personal hell was bad enough, but 5 all at once.....much different than getting your wisdom teeth pulled as these 5 teeth are NOT SUPPOSED to come out of the mouth!

So I was just giving you a warning. He may really need you more than ever after that is done. Be sure to re assure him that as soon as he has healed he will be able to have many options that will get him back to looking almost exactly the same as before the teeth were pulled. There are dental implants that can be put into his gums and into the bone, and I have seen people that have had these inplants in their mouth and I swear you can not tell they were not natural. There are also things like bridges and half bridges that will attach to his (hopefully) other healthy teeth and will also make it look like new!

Whatever happens, your boyfriend is lucky to have you. From one good chick to another....right on hot mama!!!

PS
My husband is addicted to NASCAR and has had his own website selling all of the cars for nearly 7 years now. He used to work in pathology at a hospital but quit to run his business full time. He has done great and luckily because of his hard work I was able to go back to the University of Oregon and graduate 3 years ago!!!!! YIPEEEEEEE

Since it seems like there are some major NASCAR connections to be made here, I thought I would throw ib a good word for my husband as he too has been there for me throughout all of my teeth problems and he was never around when I had caused so much of the damage but without him around when i went through the physical and emotional part of coping with the pain, cost, and emotional toll it all took on me I do not know what I would have done!!!

So I am not sure if I am allowed to do this here or not but I am sure if I am not allowed to then someone will alert me to this fact ASAP.

See ya everyone
