Shirlene, I just now lifted you up in prayer. I'm sorry you are in so much pain. I've had tooth aches before and they are awful. Hopefully you can get them fixed and get on with doing the things you love to do. Hugs, Judy

Shirlene Look in the Yellow Pages for a Dental School. There has to be one not far from you. They are always looking for people to work on. They charge very nominal fees that you should be able to pay. If you can't find one contact your local Bishop or clergy for help. Sometimes they have names of Doctors/ Dentist that can help people. There is help out there and many medical people that volunteer at clinics and etc. You just have to ask and let them know what you're going through financially at the time. There are even state funded clinics that can sometimes help.

thinking of you. xx

Until you can find a dentist try using Orajel for the pain, sensitive toothpastes, and a product called Dentemp to fill up the hole. There is also a product to swish for sensitive teeth. Will pray for you some relief from this discomfort. Our dentist used to be our next door neighbor and my uncle and his son my second cousin were a dentists.

Dear Shirlene, I wish there was something I could do to bring you relief other than prayer or rather including prayer. I don't know of anyone who would help either other than a dental school so prayer is all we have to offer. I don't know why God lets the devil get in there and make people suffer when they did nothing to cause it or deserve it. Sending best wishes your way and hope for a brighter future.

Dear Shirlene, I am praying for you to find relief and a dentist to do gratis work for you! They are out there, I know. As a teacher, I used to call upon dentists do do free work for my students..and there was always someone who came forward. Does anyone in your church know of anyone who does dental benefactor work? Check it out! As mentioned, if a dental clinic/school is near you, that is also a good idea. GOD BLESS AND PRAYING FOR YOU NOW!! ro

Prayers going your way for relief of that horrible pain you are experiencing, hugs S*

Said a prayer for you, and ask for you to have a good night pain free.

Toothache is a horrible thing. I hope you get it sorted out soon. I was a dental nurse for many years and have seen people go through so much pain. Your teeth are so important Shirlene, do not leave it. Thinking of you. Hugs Sarah.

Sending prayers for the relief of your pain & hopefully not long to wait for the work to be done.

Here is a cheap natural old time remedy for tooth pain that don't contain any of the ladicain. Also brush several times with a good amount of sensitive toothpaste. I just looked up a few and they don't contain ladicain. A couple of my teeth and my ear ached awful from just having sinus problems. Most uncomfortable.

Dear Shirlene,

I'm with Anita on this one - Oil of Cloves. My Mum used to put it on my teeth when I was a young lass. Don't take too much though as it has a strong aroma and taste. I do hope the pain ceases enough before you can see a Dentist. I worked for a Dentist for 10 years and saw lots of people in pain. Love and blessings Chris

Prayers and hugs for you, dear Shirlene! Hope that you get relief fast. Hugs, Lidia

I was taught to use cloves, real whole cloves. They are very numbing and we usually have them around. I
put near the toothache about 2 of them and let them
mellow and do their thing. If impatient then I crack
litely. Orally I use tylenol rapid release gels.
I see below oil of cloves. I should get some at the
health store. I also have used orajel but I see you
are allergic.

I pray that you are finding relief from your pain. Check around with the various dentists. I know in our area there are some that will provide free dental care for those who do not have insurance. I saw that oil of cloves was mentioned for the pain. I have also heard that vanilla flavoring will do the same. Let us know. Hugs, Mary

O sweetheart I do hope you can get some relief soon. My prayers are with you. I don't know if you have any teaching hospitals or dental schools near you but I have heard you pay a small for dental work done by students under the supervision of Dental teaching staff.
Cindy B.

oh dear, I hope the ideas posted here already will help a bit against the pain.in special the dentist students might be a good idea to look for. my hugs and prayers for you.

Hope you feel better soon.

Ouch, indeed. Good wishes for a quick resolution.

Ahh my Cutie friend sorry to hear of your pain I pray that God will take away the pain and give you an outcome to get the work done by a Dentist. Toothache is very bad. Hugs and prayers for you. Louise

I can't get into the clinic - so I am going to have to work on finding a dentist that will take me in. Thanks for all your sweet suggestions and comments - I will answer them all later.

I you get some relive soon .Maria

UPDATE: I will be seeing a dentist in less than an hour. I don't think he will give me any price breaks - but at least I will get this situation taken care of for now. Thanks for the prayers and support - I might report back later - if I am up to it.

Shirlene, I am sending prayers not only for pain relief but relief to the pocketbook as well. Keep your head and your spirits up. May angels watch over the two of you and see to it you get the things you need in your life.
Diane

Good to hear you are off to the dentist. Please let us know the outcome

Hope you feel better soon. Sending out hugs and prayers for you. DeVon

Hope all goes well with the dentist and you can get some relief and the problem fixed.

Will keep you in my thoughts.... Hope all goes well for you ...

Thankyou all - I have been to the dentist - he was somewhat upset - that he really couldn't do much for me - because of my allergies to the 'caine' family - which is what all dentist use - he said that I had a really bad infection - one that needed some antibodies - he tried to get me to leave without him doing anything - I begged him to take the tooth - break it the rest of the way off and then to set me up with an oral surgeon - who might be able to help me - he called around and got one that would work with me - even though he will have to do a different approach than what he normally does with extractions - I also have 203 others that will have to be taken care of at the same time. ONce we got all that cleared up - I begged the dentist to please break the rest of the dangling tooth off - when he touched it - I really jumped - then he knew how severe it was - so we both calmed down and I closed my eyes - so I couldn't see what he was using or going to do. the technician - held my arm down - the cracked it off and I bled really bad - but - I almost felt less pain right away - it did hurt and I do know how much infection I have or had under the broken tooth now - half my neck and part of my face is swollen up - I got the antibody to use for the next 10 days - I will figure out some way to go ahead and get these teeth pulled - then one day - perhaps - I can get dental implant - down the road - but for now - I have to say - my head is spliting and I have some pain - but I do feel better and know that I can deal with most things - when it comes to this sort of thing - as long as I have all these prayers being said for me - thank you so very much - in a day or so - when I know - that my head is on straight again - I will try to answer your post better. Unconditional Love, Shirlene

So glad to read that you got some relief. I do hope it will all settle down soon. Nothing worse than toothache - as the nerves are exposed! Love Chris

Shirlene, I am so glad to hear you got antibiotics for the infection. My daughter has to take antibiotics prior to any dental procedure, because she has a congenital heart defect. The doctor told me the reason was that any infection in the gums, mouth, neck area, was the most direct route to the heart and thus the risk of serious complications, or death.
Hope your dental problems get alleviated soon!
Angel

Tooth pain is NOT ANY FUN!! I hope you are feeling lots of relief now!! Good luck, my Dear! Hugs, Laura*

Sorry to hear that Shirlene, I didn´t know until now, I wasn´t looking in to PERSONAL, but you will have all my prayers from me - I know this pain, I have been there and the dentist had to take the tooth, what a relief - hope you are feeling better now.
Hugs *4u

Shirlene, I am praying for relief for you and for Rick too. I have had dental problems and know how horribly painful that can be. I'd rather give childbirth! At least you have a bundle of joy at the end... Hang in there. Relief is on the way.
Pray without ceasing. Hugs and love, Jan

Oh Shirlene...my heart goes out to you. Nothing is worse then tooth pains. I hope you can find someone who can help.

You're in my thoughts and prayers, Shirlene. Hang in there sweetie, and just keep believing that it will work out somehow someway.

My prayers for you.

Marcelle

Oh Shirlene....prayers are coming your way ... I hope you are feeling better soon.
Hugs

LOL AS A KID WE HAD NO WAY TO PAY A DENTIST SO DAD GAVE ME NEEDLE NOSE PLYIERS AND I GOT A BIG MIRROR AND KEPT AT IT TILL I PULLED THEM OUT .tHAT WAS YEARS AGO LOL WILL PRAY FOR YOU MY FRIEND:):)

I've just read your latest update and my goodness, do I feel for you. I see somebody else has suggested this, but my mother always used to pop a clove in her mouth if she had tooth ache - and she was a nurse married to a dentist! My prayers are with you both. *

hope the pain will go away soon ! Sending prayers.

any pain in your head is bad but the problems you describe are making me wince hope the antibotics kick in real fast and the infection is under control..............soozie

Is there a dental school anywhere near you that you could check out? They may do some work for free or minimal cost. Prayers coming your way. Nan W

i cracked another tooth today - have alot of pain with it - but I fear that the oral surgery will not happen - they want so much money just to walk in the door - I have taken all my antibody and feel that the most of the infection has cleared some - I will have to live with this - one day at a time - for the time being. I am so allergic to all the medications that dentist and oral surgeons use - that I fear more what will happen - while they give anything to me - than what will happen - if i don't have the surgery. Time will tell, I suppose. Thanks for all the prayers and support. I wished I could just walk in - have the work done and walkout.

Oh Shirlene, I send prayers of relief your way and prayers some sort of insurance falls into place soon so you can get this taken care of. Pain is not something you need with the full plate you have.
Hugs
Diane
