When was your last tooth ache?
When I was 8 or 9 years old, I woke up one morning with the worst ever ache from a back tooth cavity!! I tried to get back to sleep so I could forget about the pain but I couldn’t. Since it hurt so bad, I cried and cried. So, my grandmother gave me a painkiller, the pain was relieved after 10 minutes. Nobody knew (including me) that I was allergy to the painkiller, it caused rashes all over my body. The worst was: once the pain came back and the rashes haven’t subsided, I was having both rashes and tooth ache!
Then, my mother had me gurgle with the iced water. Obviously I was desperate and in much pain, would try anything that promised to relieve the pain. So I resorted to gurgle with the iced water, somehow it worked because the intense pain was gone in about half an hour of gurgling, rinsing and spitting out the iced water.
I have very low threshold for pain and after this painful experience, I always make sure I brush my teeth after meals, see the dentist twice a year. I must say I haven’t have to go through the same pain again all this years!
Those of you who have recently suffered from tooth ache probably have heard of this Over-the-Counter Dental Cement called Dentemp OS. Honestly, this is the first time I heard of this product. It’s apparently a FDA Approved First Aid product for fillings and loose caps. It’s tested and fully comply with FDA Regulations for Oral Care.
This product promised to provide fast, temporary relief of pain and discomfort. You just have to remove the plastic vial and use it as temporary dental repair to replace lose fillings and may even use to temporarily seal loose crowns. No, you are not playing dentist at home with this, you still have to get an appointment with the dentist, after the pain is gone!
