Si’s got a big hole in his tooth

Moan he must

Dentist no trust

So Si just try a big double vermouth

Good sinus infection can make all the teeth hurt.

Got into the dentist today, had an x-ray and a good poke about all clear, no sign of decay. But what I have got is inflamed ligaments around the teeth on the right side, this is caused by clenching and is brought on by stress (my father is still in hospital and we are looking at a nursing home) and my increase of depression medication (it has been increased and it can cause clenching).

So, antibiotics in case of an infection, painkillers and soft foods and see how it goes.

Si...still hurting.

Well at least it's not your teeth Si. Fingers crossed your new mancave gives you the chance for some relaxation to relieve your stress.

Anti depressant meds often have more side effects than what they're supposed to help with! Ask me how I know

 

[Guest]

Si a dentist consultation he sought

No sign of decay as was thought

And so relax he said

You need some med.

So Si go for it uncork that port

Ta guys, the pain has migrated up the side of face and into my top teeth... Si...hurting and feeling sorry for myself.

About 30 years ago I had symptoms just like that. It went up the side of my face, very painfulI. I went to the dentist and after a tap with a tool said it had nothing to do with dentistry. (I wonder how he knew). He said see my doctor. I was referred quickly and a blocked salivary gland was diagnosed. (I think the backing up of the saliva caused the pain). A very small operation (inpatient) to relieve a "stricture" (fancy word for a narrowing) in the duct cured it. All on the NHS.

How is the pain now?

Glad you now know what it is, hope the antibiotics do the trick, perhaps you need to get the missus to give you a nice relaxing massage, hope you get your dad sorted ok, that must be a big load of stress, I have been on antidepressants as well and know they can have some really nasty side effects.

Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery.

I still have mine luckily enough I have co drydamol for my arthritis in my knees and am taking that for the pain hoping the nerve or whatever it is will die so the pain will go only supposed to take max of 8 a day but am upto ten at mo still these doses have all got huge safety margins on them so that probably ok, and luckily as I have an under active thyroid I don't pay for my prescriptions

Blimey fellows so much medical info.

Any body know of cures for a fellow in his 76 year.

Will not list the massive problems just need a cure all pill. Strange I do not suffer from tooth ache.

So it's tingly feet, dodgy ski knee, hips at night, dodgy football neck, cricket bowling back, memory resistant brain, dry eyes and old age. Strange thing is I have all my hair (well 95%) and a great working heart.

However 2 paracetamol at night sort the problems. A couple of beers during the day and I am away.

Good luck Si!

I'm happy to say that my dentist looks upset when I walk in, fast approaching 42 and not a single payment out of me...SWMBO hates me for as well! Oh well poo happens .

Good luck mate

I had a 'stone' form in one of my saliva glands last year. It made the whole of one side of my face swell up. It happened rather quickly as well, I had just started to eat lunch. A good old fashioned acid drop was enough to dissolve the stone. Spent the next hour dribbling like a goon for an hour!

Si, silly idea, but have you tried chewing gum? Also a gum shield while sleeping could help as it cushions your bite.
