Dental question can anyone please help?!


Question: Dental question can anyone please help!?
I have two questions really:


My friends mom had 3 teeth pulled today and it still bleeding!. She got home from the doctors office around 4 o'clock and it is still bleeding now it is 7:30 and nothing has changed the bleeding so far!. She has ran out of the gauze they gave her, and nothing seems to be working!. Any suggestions!?

Question number two:

I might possibly have a abscessed tooth!. Its the k-9 on the left side or either the one right beside it!. I cant put any pressure on it, and eating on that side hurts like crazy!. I have had a abscess before!. But was wanting to know if there was anything i could do at home!. Please all i ask is that no one tell me to go to the dentist I don't have the money right now for that! I have bushed my teeth and used mouth wash nothing seems to be working!. I have also took Motrin up to 800 mg and it has not touched it!. What do you all think!. Does my symptoms sound like a abscess!? Would else should i do

A friend told me I should go to the E!.R what do you all think!? I just dont want to bother the E!.R with this kind of problem!. I know how busy they can get!?

Any suggestions Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
your moms friend!.!.!.!.is it actively bleeding!?!?!? because when you bite on gauze the bleeding and saliva makes it look like its bleeding alot!. i would take a thin washcloth (baby size) and bite on that with slight pressure!.

as for you!. unfortunately you need to see a dentist!. yes the E>R might give you antibiotics and pain meds but if indeed you have an abcess the abcess will return after the meds have worn off an the bill from the E>R will be alot more then the dentist!. alot of people don't realize that if you see the dentist sooner than later yous cost is less!. not to mention if it is an upper tooth like your canine you take the chance of the infection spreading (possibly to you eye or even brain)!. check around lots of dentist will work out payment or see if there is a local dental college they screen according to income most of the time!.

I am not a dentist, but does your friend's mom have high blood pressure!? I think the bleeding does not stop if she has high BP and the doctor hasn't taken enough precautions for that!. She should visit the dentist and get this sorted out as yo could lose too much blood if there was some complication!.

For you, of course until you don't know the cause you can't stop the pain, so you have to visit the doctor or even the ER for that matter!. Some home remedies are, you can try to bite down a couple of cloves using the tooth that aches or you could even try pickles (buy lemon/lime or mango pickles from an Indian store, they are extremely spicy and can numb the pain very effectively)!. But tooth pains can get very very bad and might disrupt your sleep even, so if you can't go to the doctor at least try the ER!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

As far as your friends mom, that's normal, just have her wad up some paper towel!. It won't stop bleeding until a clot can be formed!. But sometimes it can bleed lightly into the next day!. As far as your absess, I don't know if that's what it is for sure, but you would need to get antibiotics for it!. Goto the ER, they can give you antibiotics and pain meds!. You won't be bothering them, they see alot of people with problems like this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
