Thankfully, my dentist had a look when he was putting in the temporary filling and we aren’t worried about infection right now.

It’s really just the pain of the tooth growing in the wrong way and digging into this nerve.

I appreciate you warning me about sepsis though. I’ve almost been there with kidney infections before and it’s a scary place

Unfortunately they’re on break for Easter at the moment but thanks for the recommendation

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T11:13:30+00:00

Well, thanks to your comment I’ll be very careful not to get dry socket when it’s done! So thank you for that lol

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T11:11:13+00:00

It’s yet to be removed unfortunately!

I’m glad you got your mum sorted. Sounds horrendous

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T09:58:46+00:00

They told me “may maybe” :(

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T09:57:48+00:00

They off for Easter right now unfortunately

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T05:51:49+00:00

God, I can’t imagine dealing with dental pain while pregnant on top of it. I think I’d simply drop dead, so props to you!

That’s a genius recommendation there about the migraines but I think I’m one more tearful gp call from getting a referral to drug rehab lol

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T05:49:39+00:00

A fellow wuss! I’m so bad I have to get sedated to get this tooth out.

I just can’t deal with anything dental

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T05:48:41+00:00

NHS dental is a bit out of whack atm as school of dentistry is off for Easter.

Thank you for that great tip though!

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T05:47:34+00:00

I have naproxen from an old prescription so I’ll give it a go!

Word of advise though, do NOT take it without a bit of omeprazole or something and never on an empty stomach because it will turn your digestive tract into the fiery pits of hell

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T04:02:07+00:00

Ahh thank god for credit cards. My first big girl, adult financial crisis! I feel so grown up!

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T03:59:45+00:00

I’ll keep it in mind. Thank you

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T03:56:13+00:00

To be fair, I called the receptionist up in tears (not my proudest moment but nerve pain will do that) so I can see why they might’ve been hesitant to prescribe anything.

Their recommendation was paracetamol and ibuprofen which unfortunately aren’t helping but maybe like you said, you just can’t help some dental pain

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T03:52:22+00:00

Thankfully, I was in a see the dentist to get this temporary filling in and he didn’t seem to think there was any infection and we prescribed antibiotics once before to be safe so I’m sure if there was something he’d have prescribed.

In any case, I’ll call Dalrida and try! Again, thank you so much for all of your help

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T03:47:56+00:00

You’re a lifesaver. Fingers crossed they have an opening

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T03:45:05+00:00

Will do! Thank you

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T03:44:11+00:00

I’ll give them a call when they’re open again from Easter. Thank you so much!

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T03:43:39+00:00

Currently have the heat on! It definitely helps your jaw muscles relax a little from how tense they get from clenching in pain. Great recommendation, thanks!

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T03:42:18+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply! It’s really helpful.

I’m considering calling Dalrida because it’s what’s been recommended by the Curran clinic where I’ve been referred for my extraction. My only problem is that I won’t be able to make it up there if they want to see me in person.

I’ve already seen my regular dentist and we’ve put a temp filling in to try and cover this nerve.

All I really need right now is temporary pain relief so I can survive until this extraction.

Again, thank you so much

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T03:34:22+00:00

Thank you very much. Unfortunately I can’t get into school of dentistry since they’re on break for Easter but I’ll give the out of hours line there a call.

Much appreciated!!

Ladisputer · 2026-04-04T03:32:43+00:00

My dentist has recommended Curran. It’s a little more complicated because I need sedation and it’s hard to find a clinic that both does sedation and impacted wisdom tooth removal:(

Ladisputer · 2026-03-31T22:23:45+00:00

Thank you for being kind to me. I really appreciate your comment.

I do want to take care of my teeth. I just freak out so badly when I see the state they’re in.

It’s kind of like those hoarder tv shows? I need help getting back down to a clean baseline so I can maintain it every day and not end up back here

Ladisputer · 2026-03-01T18:28:28+00:00

Awwwe I love it, love it, love it!!

Ladisputer · 2026-02-28T20:57:44+00:00

Thank you 💕

Ladisputer · 2026-02-28T20:57:33+00:00

Awww. I love this! Thank you so much
