Intense, unstoppable pain. Please give input. :)?

Q: A few months back I went to the dentist after experiencing pain in my bottom jaw. After the x-rays and all I was told that I needed roughly 20 grand in dental work that -may- correct the problem. The dentist then proceeded to tell me that my teeth were eating themselves, which is supposedly very rare. After some Googling I could find nothing on this. Keep in mind that this dentist is not reputable what so ever and has often been called a rip-off. So I was prescribed some antibiotics and very intense pain killers. The antibiotics (I think?) made my skin boil, and the pain killers had no effect. After a few days the pain seemingly disappeared.Earlier this week as I was lying down I felt the pain again, and it was so intense that I couldn’t move, speak, I couldn’t drive, nor could I call 911. It literally felt like someone was stabbing me. The pain comes in waves that last approx. 1 hour; and after that it will subside with no signs that anything was even wrong. I didn’t sleep for two days because of this. I’ve tried many home remedies and different medicines (over the counter since the strongest prescribed pain killer did nothing) – all of which have no effect, or just a very mild aid that may just be the pain dwindling naturally. I am fully intending on going to the dentist Monday, I just want maybe get an opinion from you guys.Oh, I was told that the nerve endings on the top row of right hand teeth (the pain comes from the bottom right and hurts my jaw) are exposed, POSSIBLY causing the pain to shoot downwards. When I looked in my mouth I seen a small hole in one of my teeth (possibly a cavity or abscess?) that makes more logical sense, to me. But, unfortunately, I’m not a doctor.Thank you for any help!

A: My advice is to get a second opinion from another dentist. Your symptoms make sense. The first time you went to the dentist with pain he gave you antibiotics. These cleared up your infection in your teeth so the pain stopped. However this was only a temporary fix, you should have gone back to the dentist to have the treatment done. Since you had no treatment the infection reoccurred which is why you are in such pain again. You ned to sort the underlying problem out otherwise you will just be on and off antibiotics which the dentist will not be able to carry on giving you! If you do have exposed nerve endings and large cavities they do need treating. If you can’t afford all the treatment explain this to your dentist and work out which is the most urgent work and start with that. He might also be able to work out some kind of payment plan so you could pay for the work over time. Its worth getting this sorted out now the longer you leave it the worse it will get and the fewer and more expensive your options get. Good luck and I hope the pain gets better soon!

A small bump at the bottom of my mouth?

Q: Ok, I had a filling in July. 2009. IT was a filling between the two teeth. The right canine been hurting slghtly since, but it got better little by little. Than, the hypochondriac in me felt it getting a LOT better, played with it and played with it, and then, around Feb. 20th, 2010….I think I had an abscess, not sure, it popped, pain was gone. (Also, when it popped I didnt get that foul smell or disgusting taste, which is why im confused what it was) It is a bottom tooth, the right canine. The problem is I have a small bump on my bottom gums (put your finger on the right canine, now go down. after you touch the pink gums, go to the reddish part. The bump is at the bottom (you can also have your tongue touch it, and go all the way as far down in your mouth as you can. That is where it is)The bump started….around the size of a grape. Now it is about the size of if you combine 3 pieces of corn back to back *MAYBE slightly bigger, but NOT much* So it has atleast been getting smaller, it defintely isnt getting bigger, which I read is a good thing. Also, the tooth doesnt hurt that much at all. If I tap it the bottom of the tooth, barely no pain at all. I tap the top of the tooth, small pain but not much. Biting down doesnt hurt much either, I can eat foods on that tooth if I have too. I try not too just to see if it will heal.So now is where I am at. I know most people will suggest root canal, but I really dont wanna just go right to a root canal if the tooth doesnt hurt badly. I just wanna try to take some natural methods before I just see a dentist and have a root canal. Also, I dont have the fiances for a root canal, and I really don’t wanna pull my right bottom canine. So im kind of stuck in limbo here. Ive been taking Cod Liver Oil and Fish Oil, which, like I said, have made it get a little smaller, and my gums look a lot better now too. If anyone can help me out, besides the “see a dentist” answer, that be awesome. I just do not have the fiances to see a dentist right now. 1600 for a RC and crown, I do not have that kind of cash. So, anyone know what home remedies I can do to make this bump go away? Any advice would be awesome, I tried to be descriptive as possible. Lastly, if the only advice is a RC, I really do not wanna go that route. (Ive read that is a last resort.)I wanna see if I can make this go down naturally first, rather than go through a drastic dental procedure. One last thing, if the bump isn’t getting bigger, and is getting smaller, that has to be good thing, right? Maybe Im just being impatient and need more time to see if it will heal? Im not sure, which is why I am here!Well, thanks for reading and if anyone can help this me out, I would appreciate it greatly!*I also just called in amoxcillian to see if that will help.*Thanks for all the help! Also Paula, did the bump in your mouth hurt, get smaller, did it annoy you for four year!? I know one day I need a dentist, but this has only been going on for a month at the most. Once again, thanks for all the help and any other natural suggestions I can do to get this bump down, please let me know?
