  1. Yeah, i know what you mean. The best thing is to just go and get it over with. You,ll be glad you did.It could only get worse.


  2. Get your courage up and go to the dentist. It's never as bad as you think it will be. Going now will save you additional pain and possibly much more complicated and painful dental work later.

  3. Well, eventually you're going to have to get this thing taken care of - pulled or drilled & filled. It can turn into something really nasty and affect your whole body, including your heart.

    In the meantime, you can help clear up the infection w/ good dental hygiene, including flossing. Use a toothpaste w/ propylis and myrrh in it; some of Tom's varieties have these. Put a teaspoon of colloidal silver in your mouth, rinse for 1 minute, then swallow. Internally, take 2- 500mg. capsules of golden seal root powder 2x daily for a week, then 1x daily for another week. (Not if you're pregnant.) Also will help to take 3g (3,000mg) of vitamin C daily.

    For pain, use pure essential clove oil on the gums. On the outside of your jaw, rub pure essential lavender oil to reduce pain & inflammation.

  4. Try a water pik with Peroxyl antiseptic mouth rinse daily. If you use the water pik every day, it should help with gingivitis. You will have to see a dentist soon, though. Best of luck.

  5. sounds to me like you are getting abcesses, if your whole face swells up and you get a thing kinda like a pimple and its full of pus, thats what it is. Sounds lovely, hey. If this is the case you need to get antibiotics, as you can easily get blood poisoning from it. Not that much a dentist can do anyway, usually seems to happen when you have a tooth that breaks off and there is an infection up in the root of the tooth, this needs surgery to correct. If you arent this bad yet, GO SEE A DENTIST before you are! I hate them too, but i really wish i never let my teeth get this bad, good luck.

  6. Periodontal disease treatments have become less painful with the advent of recent advances in dental techniques and equipments, in addition to the better use of anesthetics,.  Most of the time in dental treatments, local anesthesia, pain medications and even sedation are used.  Various methods to help their patients deal with fear are now being used by most periodontists.  Then after the periodontal disease treatment, most discomforts or pain are well-taken cared of over-the-counter medications or prescription pain killers. These are good reasons why people should not be afraid of seeing dentist and have their teeth and gums checked rather than suffer the consequence of tooth loss and other health problems.  

    you can use an all natural gum care product to minimize the soreness of your gums as it helps keep the mouth clean by keeping bad bacteria at bay and leaves the mouth fresher.

  7. It's likely gingivitis, but you do need to go to a dentist. No-one like dentists and their drills, but just grow up and do it.

  8. I would open up the phone book this Monday and start speaking to different dentist offices and ask them what they do for people who have phobias, after calling 10 of them, you will get a gut feel on which one to pick, I am sorry but you can't avoid going but you have the power to choose and let your intuition pick the place that is going to be most compassionate.

    If you don't see a dentist, it will get much worse. 7 out of 8 people so far all say the same thing, we all have received at least one thumbs down for telling you the most important thing you should do.
