Mr extractions u are sensibly senseless

Tallesty1:
Tooth ache no be your mate. I used to suffer from it way back and when it starts eeh, e go wan make me mad.

It comes with headache, ear ache etc.

The pain woke me up one night and I didn't have any pain reliever in the house. It was unbearable.

The pain was killing me and there was no help in sight so in desperation I applied aboniki on the place I was feeling the pain. Both inside and outside.

Surprisingly the pain started reducing and that was the last time I had tooth ache.

OMG! This happened?!
Wow!

Jessica57:
I had tooth aches as well since 2016z The 1st 2 years was extremely terrible but I was advised not to remove it to avoid infections spreading to other parts of the remaining tooth. I used different toothpaste it didn’t work. I had to switch to warm water and salt every single day and I’m still using it till now. I have a whole in my tooth and smell comes out from there in the morning before brushing. The � doesn’t pain me anymore except when there are particles of food inside the hole. I’ll advise you try the warm water and salt every morning and night. It worked for me it might work for you too.

Is the hole still there?
I'm surprised you didn't fill it. So when you chew around the hole area, no pain?

LadyRosa:
You're actually not feeling any serious pain yet.Person wey teeth dey pain no go get strength or mental stability to chat.

By the way, there's no such thing like dental surgeon in Nigeria,even if they are,very rare.What we have here are dentist whose only specialty na to uproot and fill up your teeth and after few months,back to square Everything go just open waaaa!Or you swallow the crown along with Amala.

My elder brother is making plans to travel out to get his dentition done after spending so much on the so called dentists in Abuja and Lagos.Nonsense!

Don't be saying what you don't know.
There are quite a handful of dental surgeons in Nigeria. Infact self, a lot.

Where did youe brother go to for his treatments?

********

I had to open an account to comment because of the numerous rubbish and unhelpful suggestions I saw people posting here..

I have removed 2 teeth already and I have read alot concerning dental health.
You mentioned "Spasm" Wich also contributed to me opening an account.

Now brother, if you keep having tooth problems of all forms, while looking for a dental solution I would strongly advise you go for a blood sugar test as consistent tooth PROBLEMS are signs of DIABETES.
Dont take this lightly pls.

Again, I would advise you not to remove your tooth, if it can be refilled fine, all you need to do is continous maintenance. Our teeth needs to be maintained like we maintain our body.

Wishing you quick and long lasting recovery!

You've got a point, to be honest.
My paternal family have a history of diabetes, and in one form or the other, they've had tooth problems that has even extended to next generations.
So many next generation like myself have done extractions, etc.
I have two extractions, have 2 artificials, 2 rcts, numerous fillings, etc.
In hindsight, I feel a lack of proper care as a child by parents/guardians might've exacerbated it.
Parents should ensure they check their children's teeth from time to time.

But I'm concerned you said he shouldn't extract. How does he alleviate the pain?
Would a positive test and treatment of diabetes help out?

I. You MUST change your toothpaste.... You should go with a paste with ACTIVE FLOURIDE
E.g COLGATE. Avoid oral B completely.
2. Use warm salty water to brush twice a day...

Ftheophilous:
I've been having this same issue for the past one week and have reached my breaking point. I have applied salt and water but it seemed to work for like 5 minutes and the pain resurfaces with vigor. I just booked a dentist's appointment this afternoon but still concerned about the overall cost as well as any potential surgical procedure. I just hope things don't get complicated than this. I just need relief - even for a day...

Modified.....

Update!!!
So, after careful consideration, I opted to honor my dental appointment and the following were the diagnosis and solution.

Basically, my tooth has a hole that has deteriorated to the point of affecting the nerves(pulp) and this was the cause of the frequent pain and swelling.

I was given two options;
One - Root extraction, that is the total removal of the tooth, which cost about 6k

Two - Root canal treatment (Rct). This is the treatment made to the root of the affected tooth without loss or removal of the tooth itself but just the nerve that causes the pain and this cost about 35k.

I opted for RCT. The process has three stages and the dentist was able to complete the first one within 30 minutes.

I'm feeling slight pains from the injection I was given so eating is not much fun for now.

Just monitoring the healing process for now so I will give updates on any changes.

That's good to hear. After the rct, I guess it'll be patched up or filled abi?
Because the hole has to be covered, isn't it?

Kindly use powder toothpaste. It works wonders.

Hausa:

Yeah, you're right. I had a temporary filling in place of the hole. It will be removed when I go for my next appointment.

And i assume you have enough experience on this to know that they are not that good right?
Visit a teaching hospital or a reputable private dental clinic to avoid stories that touch

And where do you think I've been visiting all this while?

heydays:
Noted.

Thanks

Whatever you do
Make sure you don't remove that tooth
Otherwise soon you'll be called 'toothless'
If you reside in the north
There a way these hausa people remove maggots from the teeth
I've had my fair share of tooth problems
Infact I've removed 2
But I noticed you don't stop once you start taking out tooth
After the 2 were extracted... At different times
Another one started
But was strongly advised not to take it out
Right now I have a big hole in the tooth
I just went to remove the maggots and changed my toothpaste
I use mouthwash, I floss
No pain again but the hole is still there
After eating I always use water to remove food stuck in the hole and that's it
DO NOT REMOVE THAT TOOTH!!!

LadyRosa:

I don't know. But am in the dental community and haven't come across any that doesn't know his work.
I just have an issue with the generalisation behind that your statement.

Lol.I really didn't generalized.I only pointed that we have very few dental surgeons but many dentists who are performing special jobs reserved for dental surgeons.A nairalander pointed out some facts in an argument which made sense to me.

I never generalized.
