A large grizzly bear in agony with a badly infected tooth needs an extraction in a zoo in Devon, England.

The crown blocks the x-ray, right? So how can a dentist tell if there is decay right under the crown?

What are some remedies for toothache that anyone knows about? Anything and everything is welcome…I don't care what you say, I just need to know what helpful, gentle and supportive and friendly advice you guys have on this terrible and unjust issue…

Also, does anybody know about the latest advances on dental care and enamel restoration and remineralization of teeth, which is restoring a tooth that is decayed or rotted, like it has a cavity in it? The opposite of that would then likely be called tooth demineralization or tooth decay. Of course, this happens for many reasons and tooth decay and toothache has been plaguing mankind for years. I need sensitive people who are going to anser this question with an understanding and yet honest and decent and mature response, because this is a sensitive issue for all mankind and I need answers as soon and as fast as possible.

So in short, tell me all the advice/solutions for tooth decay and toothache (pain) and remedies…ty so much!!!

My next dentist appointment is in a week and I've had a toothache for the last four days. I seriously think that it would hurt less to yank the tooth out, and I've tried, mind you. It's not really a shooting pain, it's a like a constant sore. I know it's due to a deep cavity that I had filled in, and I'm definately going to get a root canal. So far to get rid of some of the pain, I've been taking pain killers and using hot water. Is there anything else I could use right now at my home?
One more thing, since we're on the topic of teeth, my mom told me that licking your baby teeth when they're lose makes the adult tooth there crooked. Is that true?

Recently i noticed a mild toothache. my dentist can't see me for a couple of weeks. once in a while the pain becomes close to unbearable. would a little whiskey numb the pain?

I started having a toothache last Friday. Called the dentist Sat morning and got started on antibiotic. I have been using Motrin since Friday for the pain. Now I need the tooth extracted, but can't get in to the oral surgeon until the 9th. Is it okay to continue using Motrin to keep the pain away for that long - it will have been 18 days total.
