What can I do to stop this toothache pain?
For the last three years I have been avoiding going to the dentist. I do not like dentist since when I was a child I always had to go to the dentist for one thing or other and it was an ordeal for me. Before I was even fifteen I had three root canals and crown along with a bunch of filling. To top it off I also had to have braces for two years.
I am left scared to death at the thought of having to go to the dentist for any work. So up to now I have not gone even for a check ups. That said I am now left with a toothache that is just horrible. Nothing I have tried seems to help it go away. I can go to the dentist now that I am pregnant but I want the pain to stop.
What can I take or do to stop this toothache pain? Please advise. I am only taking a Tylenol that my doctor said would be okay for me to take but it is not helping me any.
