resolve my ongoing problems. It all started with a neglected tooth cavity that led to a jaw infection requiring huge doses of antibiotics and dental treatment over the last 20 months now. Some days i just don't cope too well with the pain. Anyway, i've decided to give up trying to save the problem teeth and have them removed in an effort to realign my jaw and (hopefully) relieve all my problems. I know there are millions of people who put up with tinnitus (ringing in the ears) so if you're one of them I truly empathise as this is without doubt one of the most distracting side effects.

Oh Meg I feel 4 U. Teeth problems can b so painful * debilitating, I've got an aunt that has bn on liqs. now 4 3 weeks & she is 75 yrs old. she had been taking Fosamax 4 yrs 4 Osteoporosis, come to find out it had caused deteriation to her jaw bone & this had to b rebuilt & some teeth taken out & now she is to have partials, she has been through awful pain & misery especially with the reconstruction of the jaw. Hope U r right as rain soon. Lillian *4U

Oh That is so terrible! Your poor Aunt! My Sister is on Fosamax too & has an awful time now with dental work, her fillings keep falling out & her teeth are just breaking off in pieces. The dentist said she can't have extractions now because of Fosamax, but it's the Fosamax causing the problem, talk about a Vicious circle. I do hope your Aunt gets through this, I truly empathise with her suffering. Thanks for your kind words, hugs n roses, M

Thank you all so much my dear friends, for your support and well wishes. I have three weeks more to wait then my (partial) top and bottom dentures will be ready and i can have the remaining (6) problem teeth removed and start the healing process.

Who would've ever thought just ONE tooth with a bad cavity could cause such horrendous problems/??!!!
I can't even take painkillers as they agravate the tinnitus and make it so much worse.

Please don't ignore your teeth, it isn't worth the pain and misery the neglect can cause.

hugs n roses to you all my very dear friends and thank you all for being there. Meganne

Meganne: I know what the headaches feel like. I had severe ones for weeks. Went to a message therepasits, within an hour and half it was pretty much gone. One way to help with those is to breathe a better way. She told me that when things aren't going right or when I get tense I hold my breath. So try taking bigger breathes and on a continous steady way to help with the headaches..It helped me tremendously. I pray God will help relieve yours also.....deanna

Hello dear meganne, I am so sorry for you, I hope that you will be better soon, I send you a lot of flowers

Hope the extractions solve the problem and so sorry you are in so much pain and discomfort.

Oh Meg... you're covered with good thoughts and prayers friend. Anything having to deal with teeth makes me cringe! I HATE going to the dentist, but I do go every 6 months... my husband on the other hand... well....

Hope you're doing well soon. xoxo

Good luck, Meg. So sorry you're having problems, my late girlfriend had tinnitus, she found ginko biloba helped a lot. Maybe with all the dental/jaw problems resolved, that will resolve itself too, I sure hope so. Being on a limited income, I know how hard it is to take care of teeth. Sure with we all had some insurance for prevention of problems, like teeth & eyes. This world is in sad shape, isn't it? Hope it clears up soon for you, my friend. Big cyber-hugs, Marji

Sorry to hear that dear Meg. Hope you feel better soon. Flower and XoXo

Meg
Sorry to hear you are under the weather. My DH had all his teeth pulled one afternoon..they put in temps that same day. Talk about a lot of pain, but within 6 months ALL of his stomach and head problems cleared. Now I just have to figure out how to get him to STOP eating! Feel better soon! :)

Meganne, I hope that all your problems can be solved satisfactorily very soon & your pain eased.

oh yes i know this well lost my teeth when i was 29 i have partials but then half of mine was knocked out

Sorry to hear about your pains, hope that the treatmant will give you a relief of your pains.

Meganne,
I have read that teeth can be the source of alot of health issues. Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm so sorry that you are having so much pain & tinnitus (my DH has that!)!! I pray that you will find total relief after dealing with the dental work. Feel all the prayers & hugs surrounding you!! Kathy

Sorry to hear you have not been well .Hope you will be feeling better soon

Meganne,
I'm sorry that you are not feeling well, and I hope that you will soon get complete relief from your pain. Hugs and prayers...Barb

So sorry to read all of your misfortune. Really hope that you are feeling better after so heavy treatments .. huuuh! All my best regards dear Meganne !

Oh dear, so sorry to hear that. Root canals and crowns are so miserable and expensive (boy, do I know about that!) but are so much better than the effects of postponing the problem too long. I can only wish you well and hope that your problems get straightened out soon, and send you sympathy for what you have been going through.

Oh Meganne, I am sorry you are suffering with your teeth. Six months ago I broke a tooth next to front. I knew it was going to be crown which currently runs $970, but to my shock my dentist said I should go ahead and crown the other front teeth,5 in total, that had not already been crowned. If my sweetie had not helped, I would have been in trouble. I am retired and live on limited income. I am not entirely pleased with the results but that is another story. Best wishes to you. Get well soon.

I will be praying for your healing. I hope you feel better soon. I hope you have a better day today!

I hope you get better soon. I just had a tooth pulled a week ago that was infected. Maybe I will do better also.Still have a few problems but maybe it takes a while to get it out of our system Good luck damaris

Oh Meg, I am so sorry to hear about your pain and suffering, but I hope all will be fine real soon!!! I too have neglected my teeth for many years out of fear and am also undergoing lots of renewal of cavities and root canal and crown work - not as bad as you, but I can certainly sympathize. I have finally overcome the fear (for the most part-LOL) and still need lots more work done, but of course insurance only pays so much. lots of hugs & *4u

I will be praying for you!
