Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Ouch, that is a tough one! I know I had my teeth cleaned, and having my mouth open as wide as they waned for the ten or fifteen minutes the cleaning and exam took was more then I could take. I then had to have my wisdom teeth removed, and was in incredible pain for about a month. I am sorry I have no answers for you. I hope the pain goes away soon because I have an idea how bad it hurts. Warmish hot fluid was a temperary relief for me. get feel better soon, SAProctor1 wrote: I am having a problem with a tooth being prepped for a crown. This problem has never happened before and I do not know what to do. What happened is that although my mouth was completely numb, the pressure of either the drill or the dentist holding my jaw open, caused painful shocks of nerve and muscle pain. It got so bad that I was just flinching each time she used the drill because it started out being intermittent and then became constant. Unfortunately the work couldn't be finished and I am supposed to go back in a week. I have tried ice, a mouth guard (I grind my teeth at night), a warm washcloth, pain pills, etc., just to help relieve the residual pain from the procedure. I just don't know how I can even attempt more work yet my tooth needs to be finished up. I was reading on some sites (such as info. from Devin's book)that it might have to do with myofascial pain in combination with the fm. It got very technical with trigger points and referrals. I don't think the dentist will be too informed in this area. Help please. The pain is excrutiating!!! saproctor1@... 1.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi , I have gone through the same situation with temporary crowns. I was in terrible pain for weeks until the permanant crown was put on. This happened to me a number of times. Finally, the dentist realized I must be having an allergic reaction to the material of either the temporary crown or the adhesive. He changed the material that he normally had been using and I haven't had a problem since. Also, is it possible that you have developed a latex allergy which might explain the pain while you were being worked on(from the gloves). Just wondering......does anyone seem to have more problems than normal with their fibro now that allergy season is in full swing? Gently Hugs to everyone!!!

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Do what I did after suffering for years, I went to a TMJ specialist. They can correctly diagnose through xrays and examinations the correlation of teeth, nerves, muscles and bytes to ascertaian where your problem might be as well as sit down with you to give you a plan of attack as to how to handle it going forward. They are pricy, but NO pain is worse than the one in your head(mouth nose eyes) etc, I guess it has a shorter distance to travel to tell you STOP NOW I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 - Dear , I just want to confim to you that your not alone. I too have found that the novicain does not work and that I flinch and stay tense from the drill. Afterwards too I get migrain pain that none of my pain pills can ease. I have taken vicodin and morphine and still I will be in pain. I don't know what to do either. Perhaps our doctors could recommend nitrous oxide and tranquilizers and pain medication before dental work....You are right that the dentist is not going to understand neccessarily about our unique problems and therefore I am going to get my doctor involved. I too could use some advice. Sorry to not have an answer. I have found with Dr.'s that it takes often a lot of support and persistance with Doctor's to get action unfortunately.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Yes I experianced that as well also. It was killing me to keep my mouth open that long and I felt like I needed to move around and was squirming trying to stay still. Perhaps if one can afford it dental work should be scheduled in shorter incraments.....or like I mentioned in my last response perhaps some tranquilizers would help and being accompanied by someone who can drive us home.....the pain alone is bad enough to cause an accident and it really is dangerous I believe.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I did some searching on the net and found there are dentists who practis dental sedation through an IV. This may be even better than nitrous Oxcide. I am sure it costs a fortune but the amount of pain some go through with dentists perhaps it;s worth getting a lot done at once while being knocked out.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I have all my major work-tooth extractions etc through iv sedation. In NY it is about 250-300 for the procedure, but that includes everything. It is well worth it. What I also used to do, is make 1 several hour appt and have sedation while they did all the work needed to be done at one time.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 does everyone no that tmj is commen with fibro? I have it really bad and it took two weeks after a short dentast appointment for me to be able to move my jaw enough to eat. I am going to have to have them knock me totally out to do the rest as keeping my jaw open for that long hurts. not to mention that the shott he gave made the nervs in the jaw freek out and hurt so badly I grabbed his hand. My jaw is so bad I can't eat sandwitches so keeping it open andh having some one drilling is offel. I think dentists are practising torture.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I have myofasical pain sydrome. That is almost like tmj but instead of the bones its all the muscles in your upper body. I was told I had this about 3 years or so ago...which lead to me getting the dig of fibro as well. They both go hand and hand along with headachs and mirgranes.... if I go to the dentist i have to take a musle relaxer or adavan. or i will come out bawling b.c my face and jaw will hurt that bad. I also have some kinds tooth thing going on too. i had a ting in my thyroid i cant spell it but it can cause loss of tooth enmaul...my denist said.. hope this helps wen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 I am extreamly lucky that my dentist is wonderful & understanding. All I did was tell him from the get go what Ihave and how much pain I am in daily. He gives me time to adjust and he takes his time with me. If I need it I can have a pillow for under my knees to to help ease the back pain. Most of the time I take a little extra pain medication before I go to the office. My area in Maine doesn't have a lot year round people. That can make a big difference on how we fibromites are treated. I am lucky that my Dentist is 10 minutes away & my Doctor is less than 5 minutes. Blessed Be, Ms.Katurah Blab-away for as little as 1ยข/min. Make PC-to-Phone Calls using Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
