How do I neutralize the terrible shooting pain, after a tooth bleaching session?

Question

Last time the Dentist prescribed Vicodin- I just felt loopy and nauseated, but still had tooth pain. Anybody have any suggestions?

Answer 1

Ask him for Darvaset, I had it for two massive ankle surgeries and it helps you if you are hypersensative to Vicodin. Also try oragel that really helps.... baby formula it will numb you up more!

Answer 2

many patients have wisdom teeth that d not erupt(are impacted) and dont cause symptoms as they are dormant, ike no infection or caries has occured and the are a is in equilibrium, however if caries sets in and the area is negled , it runs a spiralling route where one problem leads to another...u seem to ba having symptoms from not only the tooth but also the surrounding tissue. From teh tooths aspect , the pain u explain is irreversible pulpitits ie: the nerve seems to be damaged leading to pain , it could very well also be that the wisdom tooth is causing pressure symptoms on the adjacent tooth, difficult to say unless clinically evaluated and an xray taken. TO start wiht , u need ot see ur dentist to get it examined, there is no cure for aching tooth except going to a dentist as any measures u take will only put u at ease til u experience another episode of pain,there are a few things u cn do, first get a painkiller , check the label before consuming any ,,for sideeffects as some lcan aggravate asthma, and peptic ulcers..also check the dose ,, secondly using warm salt water to rinse tht area after every meal helps especially before bed time(whn using hot liquids if u have shooting pain arising frm the tooth, it is possibly nerve exposure and would need a dentist to fix it.) also make sure u are salt tolerant ,ie dnt have high blood pressure, a short rinse with ordinary water after using salt water gargle should clear the salt levels,, a mouth wash with chlorhexidine,, eg corsodyl also helps toreduce the bacterial count, if u have access to a gp, explain him and see if he can prescribe u any antibiotics , this shud manage the pain nad infetion if any till u see the dentist.. of course it needs to be treated eventually as these tips will only prolong ur comfort level till u seek treatment.

Answer 3

The ingredients in the bleaching material, usually peroxide is causing the pain. To neutralize it, use a toothpaste that has a higher concentration of fluoride or ask your dentist to give you a fluoride treatment at your next cleaning visit. Your dentist may even prescribe a toothpaste or topical that contain clinical strength fluoride to reverse the sensitivity. Fluoride penetrate into enamel and protects root surfaces, reducing sensitivity/pain.

Answer 4

I agree with Sando 100%. I'm just supporting her excellent answer so you don't think it is necessary to use narcotic pain killers after bleaching.

Crest Pro Health with stannous fluoride 0.4% is new on the market and available without a prescription. It's a good place to start.

Normally, you should consult your doctor... but maybe you can use orajel or use a toothpaste that has baking soda in it. Perhaps it will neutralize the effects.
