Just had two teeth out

Do not take alcohol whilst taking metronidazole [or for 48 hours before you start the course or for 48 hours after you have finished it] otherwise you will become very ill indeed!

Just don't do it - trust me on this it is not worth the risk

protip: Bonjela adult formula. Local anaesthetic for teeth and gums. Tastes good too!

Dreading my next dental appointment. I haven't been for about 3 years. No problems up until xmas where I had bad toothache for about a week. Tried to get booked in early January but at the minute none of the dentists round here seem to be taking new nhs patients :?

I called NHS direct when my toothache got really bad, I also had it for a week. They told me the place a few doors down was taking NHS patients. I dunno if places would be dishonest about taking NHS places?

Yesterday I had a bad migraine all day. Painkillers did nothing. I just had to take it really easy and not move about, otherwise I'd get really nauseous. I don't feel that good today but I'm better than yesterday. I need to try and leave my house I think.

sympathy :(, i agree that normal painkillers don't do much for toothache.recent experience confirmed this, but i did get
anti biotics from the dr which cured the suspected infection and i'm too going to have major drilling on friday.
the dentists to me is just this side of torture and i hate the experience with a passion.hate injections.
i remember 40 years ago being gassed unconcious by unpleasant white coated nhs dentists and waking feeling nauseous with a bloody mouth.(and pain)
i cope with it based on reason that the short sharp grimness of my treatment may be moderately less than the accumulated pain of worsening toothache that would ultimately lead to a visit anyway.i wish life had a ff button.

Yes, but your kidneys still take a toll from using alcohol with medication.

Antibiotics helped me loads too. One weeks worth got it sorted, but then two weeks after I had to go back on them because my face was getting a bit tender again. I can deal with needles and pain. I have tattoos after all, and I'm a bit stubborn when it comes to dealing with pain professionally after being injured or whatever. I just find the dentist really invasive and that makes it hard to deal with any pain. That said, having my teeth injected on friday was a bit beyond my usual pain threshold.

T-minus 40 mins and counting for me :(

Nightmare over. 2 fillings, minimal pain. Great success. It helps that the dentist kept pushing her tits against my head though. Mmmmmmmmm, cushiony.

I think the best thing you can do to help with the pain is to except it.

[Dmoney]

accepting pain is partly what led to me needing two teeth removed. haha

Clearly you missed an opportunity to ask if she "needed a filling"
