so much pain now
got ripped off by a dentist so I complained, since then I have found it hard to get dental care. but I needed it. got an abscess, that didnt heal so had the tooth out then got dry socket, its week 3 post tooth extraction. just prior to that I had a filling that wasnt done very well. during that filling the dentist damaged my jaw. this tooth I am told by another dentist needs either a filling or root canal Its agony , which I cant afford. ( ive never had this sort of thing happen before even with abscess etc which ive gone through before. Im doped on pain killers. the jaw joints are painful to put it mildly , the ears feel full and the buzzing is crazy.

How terrible for you! Those dentists should be sued for what they did to you! I'm so sorry you are having all this pain. There's nothing worse than dental pain! I had it for years until I got my dentures. Listerine, the original flavor not the new flavors, really helped when I had dental pain. At first it stings a little but then it calms everything down.
I think the one thing to do now is to pray and pray a lot to God to get rid of all the pain you are feeling. God can also fix your teeth. He made them and he can fix them. I will pray for you also. I'm sure he knows who "tisme" is.
I wish you the best.

You need to get that tooth treated. I understand the financial bind (been there, done that) but if this infection spreads it could be even more costly (think extended hospital stay, possibly intensive care). I used "Care Credit" to pay for my dental problems. You can usually get one year financing without interest. You could also try dental clinics or dental schools in your area. They often have low or no cost options. Try Googling "free dental care in (your State)." As a temporary pain relief option you can usually find numbing dental agents at your local pharmacy.
no such thing as care credit in australia , there is a govt dental system but they only fund so much per person, I need a root canal but the govt wont pay private for that , I got one in the govt system 2 years ago still having issues with it. I got a revision by a dentist paid for by the govt yesterday fingers crossed its fixed
