Tooth Broke

Are you rinsing with salt water? Sometimes, they give you antibiotics.
 

I got a call out of the blue yesterday from a dental implant place that isn't too far away. Maybe the dentist that pulled it gave them my name. He did mention getting an implant. They said I could have a free consultation, so I scheduled it for Sept. 14th. There is still quite a open hole where the tooth was. It will have to heal over from some time before anything can be done. If they tell me I have to have bone grafts, I'll say "Thanks, but no thanks!" My aunt had to have that done and she was in agony for months. Not worth it to me, even if I end up looking like a Halloween jack-o-lantern.

The other night, a corner broke out of upper back molar. When this happened, there was, and still is, a sharp spot on the tooth, but doesn't affect my tongue.

Pain in the tooth didn't happen until yesterday evening, after having a margarita with tacos. Way to much sugar! Taking VA prescription of both 800mg ibuprofen and 50mg Tramadol, as well as saltwater rinse.

I had this "sugar" thing happen in a bottom chipped tooth, a few months ago. Took the ibuprofen-Tramadol-saltwater as well and in a few days, the tooth pain was completely gone.

I will end up at the dentist, but that won't happen right away. Until then, will have to watch the amount of sugar I have, and if pain happens again, do the same as I done before.
 
If your tongue goes where the hole is, does it still feel soft? It looks okay. After two weeks, it should be fairly well healed.
 
Didn't he give you stitches? You don't pull a tooth and leave a gaping hole. This is strange Deb. I think you're in the Twilight Zone.
 
I lost all of my tooth pain yesterday evening. The sugar that was in my system, that caused the pain, had gone out.
