Help! I have a tooth that needs to be pulled. My regular dentist referred me to So. MD Oral..... Problem is they can't see me until Tuesday. I am in so much pain! I have Tylenol with Codeine and an antibiotic, but the pain is terrible. Does anyone know where I can find someone to pull this tooth NOW? I am desperate! Thanks.

If you must I believe the hospital will do it for you.

Toothaches are the worst. They're up there with a bad back ache.
 
If you have pain meds and an antiobiotic, recently prescribed by the doctor, then most likely you have an abscess and the infection needs to calm down before they will pull it, because you don't want the infection in your blood stream, via extraction. Hope you feel better soon!

Makes me think of Tom Hanks taking care of his tooth in Castaway.

:yeahthat: Once you get a few doses of the antibiotics in you to fight the infection, hopefully the pain will begin to ease up. I don't know of any reputable dentist/oral surgeon who would pull a tooth while it's abcessed!! Good Luck!

A dentist will pull the bad tooth, but you run the risk of the numbing agent not working when a tooth is abcessed. Ouch!

Use a warm compress on the location of your jaw and take your meds. If there is a lot of swelling use a cold compress.

Sometimes you can't help getting a toothache or abcess, but maybe you should reconsider your dental hygiene routine so this doesn't happen again.

I read an article where some older folks are simply booking cruise after cruise as their retirement plan... they get a place to live, a doctor, food and other accessories not to mention the entertainment and ever changing scenery... it ends up being cheaper than a retirement home...:lol:

Toothache

As stated in other posts, there is no Dentist that will touch you when the tooth is abcessed. What antibiotic are you taking? The Cillin Group is the best for Oral Infection. If you can't get in to see a Dentist right away, call & make an appointment with your regular Doctor, who can give you Amoxicillin, and maybe something a little stronger than Tylenol # 3. You can go to Wal-Mart and get some Oil of Clove drops for it too. If you can't find it, ask the Pharmacist. Take Motrin along with the Pain meds, because that will help reduce the inflamation. I feel your pain! Been there.

You might want to call Thunderbird Dental. I think thy're in Waldorf. They can sedate you, and pull the tooth, and you won't remember a thing! Good luck!
