I suppose this would be the wrong place to tell you I went for my annual check-up and my TED found not a single cavity. :o/ Anyway, many many purrs on the way, and hope the abscess doesn't get too painful before you get to see your TED.

People with good teeth will never know the pain of people with bad teeth =/ Literally. Every dentist I've seen in the last five years pretty much agrees that it's all about genetics. Those of us with bad teeth can brush, floss, mouthwash, etc. till the cows come home ... and we still have problems.

I haven't had a cavity in over 40 years, neither of my children have ever had even a single cavity. However that hasn't meant no dental pain - I've had one root canal and need two more and have had exposed nerves and need two crowns! :< Hugs, CatNipped >> Every dentist I've seen in the last five years pretty much agrees >> that it's all about genetics.

(Though I could beat that with multiple cavities, several crowns and a root canal ... and GL could beat us both with no trouble!)

I was 14 when I had my first cavity, and 18 when I lost my first wisdom tooth. When he was in my mid-30's, my late husband lost his first wisdom tooth. He had had one cavity by that time. My daughter is meticulous about brushing and flossing, and has had lots of cavities and a root canal. My son brushes if he happens to think of it, and doesn't even own any floss, and he's had one cavity. He's 41. Obviously, he took after his Dad and my daughter took after me.

Too true. The need for root canals and the exposed nerves I did to myself by brushing my teeth wrong (sideways instead of up and down from root to crown) with a *hard* toothbrush. I actually have worn grooves in my teeth at the gum line. Hugs, CatNipped >>> The abscess is flaring up again... I can't get an appointment with >>> the *humane* dentist until Monday... [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > mouthwash, etc. till the cows come home ... and we still have > problems. This is true. Out of the siblings in my family, my oldest brother and I inherited Dad's strong teeth. Dad is 81 and with the exception of a few implants, he still has most of his natural teeth. Paul & I have had a few cavities but (knock wood) never needed a root canal or anything like that. My middle brother inherited my mom's bad teeth. She had a full set of dentures by the time she was my age and has problems with bone loss and her gums. About 3 years ago my brother got so sick of spending thousands per year on dental procedures he literally had all his pulled and replaced with implants. OUCH! He also had to have bone implants. The whole process took over a year and why he started it right before Thanksgiving I don't know. He was on soft foods (like mac & cheese, eggs, mashed potatoes, etc.) all that time. Jill > People with good teeth will never know the pain of people with bad > teeth =/ Literally. Oh, I've had my fair share of dental problems. Last year, I had not one, not two, but *three* root canals. That's why I was so surprised when the dentist told me she couldn't find anything to do to my mouth this year. :o) SignatureMarina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.

I can't get an appointment with the > *humane* dentist until Monday... > > WWWWAAAAHHH! Helen Where are you? Most cities have some sort of emergency dental arrangements. For example here in East London, you can be seen at the dental school at Royal London by day free of charge (through places are limited) and in the evening and at weekends they provide a service but you have to pay for that. If you really are in pain then you can go to an A&E who will at least give you something for the pain and many have a dentist on-site or try calling round local dentists some will do emergency work Hope this helps Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs (and about to start a long and major course of dental work so you have my sympathy) > > The abscess is flaring up again... I can't get an appointment with the > > *humane* dentist until Monday... But it's still not worth going to the evil dentist, is it? Purrs that Monday comes quickly and it doesn't hurt too bad until then. I have good teeth, unfortunately when I was born my teeth and jaw were malformed enough that it was physically impossible for me to bite a carrot. Reconstruction began when I was six and continued until I was 13. I have scars down the back of my throat and a hole/slash in my tongue that resembles what happens when you run a sharp knife over a piece of beef. So I am very familiar with what mouth-pain feels like. --Fil who will never get a tongue ring because metal in my mouth has lost all appeal >> The abscess is flaring up again...

Norwich - the humane dentist is at the emergency dental hospital, but she's not on duty until Monday. I will not be seen by any other butcher. I'm prepared to wait until the humane dentist is available even if it means waiting in pain. I'd sooner stick hot irons under my toenails than be seen by anyone else.

Long story... previously posted... phobia of dentists... Used to have that, my parents stopped sending me to the dentist when I got too big to physically drag screaming into the chair! Cured by a dentist who specialised in small nervous children...she treated me like a 5-year old (I was 26 at the time) and it worked. Now when dentists ask "Are you nervous about dentists?" the answer is "Nope it's dentists who are nervous about me!" Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > The abscess is flaring up again...

The manager of my store just had an abscess taken care of about 3 weeks ago, her husband just had one 2 weeks ago, a customer came in with an abscess last week and my husband's wisdom tooth was painful to him today and he had to put an aspirin directly on the tooth and gum.

Emergency painkilling purrs coming from us lot, the first 3 of whom have had dentals and empathise profoundly. Purrs Gordon, Bandit, Snowball, Claudius & Raki > The abscess is flaring up again...

Love Jeanette Thanks you lot :) The worst of it is, I cooked a lovely meal tonight and could really enjoy it. Got a lovely free-raneg, corn-fed chicken. In the cavity (after washing it out) I put salt, black pepper, carlic, thyme and a whole lemon (unwaxed, of course). Between the meat & skin on the breat I stuffed in slices of lemon. Then I sprinkled the skin with garlic & thyme. I sat it in a roasting pan, on a bed of chopped onion. Covered it in foil & roasted it. The juices that come off the chicken make a fabulous gravy when mixed with some sherry and/or white wine, with a large spoonful of orange marmalade in for added sweetness to counter the sharpness of the lemons. I roasted potatoes & parsnips in olive oil & garlic, then steamed some brussels sprouts, broccoli and carrots. YUM... except when you have an abscess...

Purrs and Hugs, Nan and the furkids A wise man talks because he has something to say; a fool talks because he has to say something. Get yourself to your GP for some antibiotics asap. DH had an abscess start under a tooth the weekend before last and his Dr gave him a prescription. His visit to TED (The Evil Dentist) was on Monday and the abscess was gone (much to DH's relief, he's phobic about dentists too). Pain relieving purrs are being directed in an easterly direction as I type. SignatureShirley http://community.webshots.com/user/shirleycatuk > The abscess is flaring up again...
