I split my tooth tonight in the back all the way up past the gum. I dont know how though! I have a slight nagging pain in it unless I drink cold stuff then it hurts terribly. The worst part of it is though is the headache!

I have shooting pain up the back of my neck and head from it. I called my dentist and he said it wasnt an emergency and to take pain relief and he would see me on monday. Problem is I have glaucoma, its not recommended for me to take pain relievers as they increase the pressure in my eye so Im trying to hold out. Not to mention I am dealing with pneumonia and had fricking kidney stones I passed on saturday, ugh hopefully with this being the third it will be the end.

Anyways (back on topic) what do you recommend to ease the pain other than otc pain meds?

Thanks so much for your help :)

You poor thing! I cracked a tooth once and it was not pleasant.

Try a warm, moist washcloth on your jaw where the tooth is. :)

I have had lots of teeth crack out of my head - try this baby ambesol for teething right on the tooth. Sometimes it can numb the root nerve a little bit. Don't know if it is gluten-free as I just learned about Celiac 1 month ago.

Worst pain in the world, I think. Hang in there, hope you feel better.

Thanks, I'll have to see if its alright and make sure it doesnt raise eye pressure and is gluten free. Pain like this sure makes you feel for your little ones with teeth coming in. It's driving me nuts.

Orajel is gluten-free too and works very well to numb the area.

This certainly sounds like an emergency to me. It sounds like a nerve is exposed. Too bad you have to wait until Monday....

There are dental things you can buy at drugstore like wax to put over the tooth. it might not stay on while you are eating...but you can try it.

Try rinsing your mouth out with warm epson salt. This works for tooth ache. If you have a water pic you can use that with the epson salt. :)

Thanks for your help, Im still gargling sea salt water. I went to the dentist and he said since I am severely stuffed up it might be from my cold :blink: It might be worsened because it is next to my sinuses but I dont buy it, it didn't hurt till the other day. He did find the crack and said to wait till ny sinuses clear and then see if it still hurts. I'm thinking he has two weeks off from christmas vacation and is not wanting to squeeze me in if it can wait.

Im going to wait it out since frankly I dont have the money for this with christmas here and its not too much pain right now where I can stand it. No signs of decay or infection yet so he felt okay with putting it off.

Honestly Im not pleased with the treatment they would give me for it anyways. He said he would try and do a crown but if its in the pulp it would still hurt and he would have to pull it anyway. I dont want to spend around 800 dollars for a crown and then another couple hundred to pull it. I would do it for my daughter but not for me. Its the farthest tooth in the back and if its causing major problems I'm tempted to tell him to pull it, you cant see it when I smile anyways.

Those were some of the first of mine to go. After about 4 root canals in the same tooth, I had the first one extracted. I told the puller "I could just kiss you!" If I had to do this all over again - and I have - I usually let them RC a tooth once and if it goes bad, I pull it. I have lost several teeth and I plan to get implants because as you lose more lower teeth the top ones will come loose. I have had bridges made - $6000 each and then had to have them cut off because the teeth they were hooked onto got to have the 4 root canal treatment!! So far, you can't see any of my tooth loss when I smile. I do have a cow bone in my right lower jaw because I let them root canal over and over and the infections ate away the bone. I have an awesome dentist though, he does those extreme makeovers locally. My teeth have been a learning experience for him and I. And he hears me, lots of doctors don't.

Hope your tooth heals up, gets covered fine, and you have no more pain!!

Thanks :) You seem on the same track I am on so many things. My dentist looked at me oddly when I mentioned just pulling it and not putting a bridge in (cost too much and a pain to clean). He thought it was drastic. I see root canal as a possibility for awhile and just cutting my money and adding to his. I do contribute to alot of my problems with my teeth. Im a huge teeth grinder and I wore through the brace I had and insurance only pays for one and they are about $400 a piece and I eat ice :ph34r: It's a bad habit but I do it now without being aware of it.

TWO MAJOR THINGS:

1. You can buy a brace for sports that you bite into when hot and it will fit to your teeth for like $5. I can't wear my $400 piece of plastic cause too many teeth are missing now. :D

2. I just read some new research that says eating ice is a "PICA" - remember when you were pregnant and they asked if you craved eating weird things like clay - because it means you are deficient in a mineral.

Well eating ice indicates that you are currently anemic - the more you eat, the worse the anemia. You should go to the doctor!! You need iron.

My father is an ice-chomper and has chronic anemia.

Hmmm, I didnt know that about ice. I was iron deficient anemic years ago but I just had a blood test not long ago and supposedly it was fine by lab standards. I wonder if the lab standards are accurate?

Can you buy iron in health food stores?

I'll try the sports ones, hopefully that will help too.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
