Last night I started feeling exhausted when I was at coffee, so I headed home earlier then usual. I just assumed it was because of my extra workouts at the Y. I came home and crashed out. A few hours into my sleep, I woke up with my mouth in terrible pain and was up the rest of the night. I think there is some sort of infection under a crown in ( Read more... )

Do you have any teething meds in the house? Sometimes that can take the edge off.

I second this... Ambesol worked wonders while motrin and percocet did NOTHING.

Oops, one more thought. You can take Tylenol and Motrin concurrently. If I were you, I'd take 1000 mg of Tylenol AND 600 mg or Motrin ever 6 hours. And ice.

You might already know this, but a root canal on a previously crowned tooth is a wonderfully painless procedure (just the anesthetic shot). And you'll feel better, too :) Hopefully you'll get it taken care of post-haste!!

I did not know that. And it ended up being the tooth next to the crown. The pressure just made it feel like it was the crowned tooth.

I do feel much better. Thanx!
