The dreaded toothache?
Mate if you are desperate phone NHS Direct and they'll get you something, just don't take no for an answer tell them you can't stand it.





Alternatively, and my friend did this, take yourself along to A%26amp;E and the doctor will numb it up and pull it out with a pair of pliers, but be prepared to wait because painful as it is, you must wait till emergency cases are done, so you could be there for about six hours.

Reply:i had this problem last year and i wouldn't usually recommend this but a couple of puffs of a spliff will help. i couldn't handle the pain and a friend of mine was visiting (she smokes, i dont) but i was in so much agony i decided to try it as nothing else would work. it didn't kill the pain but it made me so laid back i didn't care and i was asleep in no time and when i got up in the morning i went straight to the dentist.





i sympathise with you. toothache is horrible. hope you feel better soon. x
