I have had a tooth ache the past few days, and I've been waking up every 4 hours in the night. I am not getting good rest, and I've been waiting to go to a dentist. I'm hoping to go to one tomorrow, but I need to get through the night. I have took about 12 Ibuprofen, Tylenol, and some other pill equivalent to ibuprofen, I forget the name of it. So that's about 12 pills in a 11-12 hour span. I do not want to take any more painkillers tonight, are there any remedies that can get me through the night for a good 8-9 hour sleep with out waking up all the time? If not, would taking another extra strength Advil hurt, since I took one about 3 hours ago? I just don't like consuming too many pills. And, I had to get a root canal done on my tooth about a year ago, because the dentist messed my tooth up, so I had to get one.
pain sometime comes back on this tooth (the tooth that is aching right now) and I notice there is a big hole in that tooth where the root canal was. Is this normal? It may have been 8 or 9 pills, I don't remember.
I still hate having so many pills in a day. so yeah, any remedies would be greatly appreciated. Yeah, to that person who said 'learn to deal with the pain' I think I have, suffering from constant toothache for almost a year straight and getting restless nights all the time because of it, I think I have done my share of suffering.
it's time for me to feel ok, and maybe you can suffer from a toothache for a year straight then 3 years later continue to suffer from it on and off. I hope you do suffer, then I'll just tell you to suck it up, and hope you don't have insurance to cover your a$$ :). Have a good day.
thank you to all the people who tried to help :).
