Toothache

For about the last 10 days I have had a horrific tooth ache

I finally got my big butt to the dentist yesterday

After checking my teeth

He said that I needed two fillings and an extraction

And he would do the two fillings then

He injected my upper gum

And I went out to the waiting room to wait for the numbness to set

I'm not afraid of the dentist

I've been so many times over the last couple of years

It's no big deal

A few minutes later and I was called back in

He started to work on my teeth

'I hope this works' he said at one point

'If you still have pain tomorrow come back in'

What the.....? I thought to myself

I kept my eyes shut through the whole procedure

I hate seeing the instruments

But I felt nothing

Just pressure and scraping

It wasn't too bad at all

Then it was over

I rinsed my  mouth and got my things together

And made another appointment for next week

But even as I was walking over to the car

I could still feel the pain

It was still there

It was after 5pm so there was no point going back to the dentist

So I stocked up on painkillers and went home

Ones with codeine in them which I'm not supposed to take

But hell I am not putting up with a toothache all night

I arrived home shattered

I took some painkillers and hoped and prayed that the pain wouldn't be too bad

But it was bad

And gradually got worse through out the evening

It was so bad that I couldn't sleep

Hence why I am up so early writing this post

Waiting for 9am so I can ring the dentist for another appointment today

I swear toothache is one of the worst pains

Like a splitting migraine

Only in your mouth

At times I felt like screaming

Like pulling it out myself

I bite the head off anyone that talks to me

The pain is driving me loopy

Any ideas out there for what is good for a toothache?
