My six year old daughter is having a toothache pain.  It seems to be coming from one of her back teeth.  She was just at the dentist just a little over two months ago and every thing was fine.  Can she get a cavity this fast in such a short  time?  She is going to go to the dentist tomorrow but I like to have some idea as to what is going on.

My four year old son seems to have a dental toothache in one of  his back molars.  My wife is out of town and I really would not want to bother her while she is away.  I called the dentist but he can not see my son until two days from now. 

Is there anything for my son toothache.  He is not in a great deal of pain but it seems to come and go.  Or should I take him to a different dentist that can get him in sooner.

My son has a toothache but the dentist is already gone for the day.  We have an HMO dental plan so I can not go and see a different dentist and I will have to wait until tomorrow to see if they can take him in that day.

In the mean time I know he is hurting.  He said it hurted him yesterday but he did not say anything to me so I had no idea.  Any tips on stopping the pain until I can get him to the dentist?

My almost 16 year old son as an impacted wisdom tooth.  He is in a great deal of pain.  My problem is that I had to change jobs this year so our dental insurance will not cover for an extraction for another seven months.   My son is complaining that the toothache pain is giving him a headache as well.

This just started to happen with in the last two days.  I took him to see the dentist so that how I know it is an impacted wisdom tooth.  The thing is I have to have it pulled but can not afford to see an oral surgeon without the insurance and there is no way he can go for seven months without this issue being address.   I need help please.  What can I do to have my son wisdom tooth pulled now? Advise please

Low income no insurance, were to go to get any dental help

My close friend is a single mom with no dental insurance on a very fix low income.  She has two teeth that are so bad they are black.  She says they do not really hurt her all that much but would love to have them taken care of if she could afford to.  The problem is besides the no dental insurance and low income she also has poor credit.

She get some help from a state run program, but that is for her child and not for her to have dental care.   She can to go to emergency hospital  for any bad pain but since it is her teeth they just give her some pain killers and antibiotics.  Which is only a temporal fix.   What can she do to really fix her teeth?

My daughter who is now sixteen has a retained baby tooth.  It the first molar behind her eye tooth.  With in the last two weeks she said that tooth was starting to hurt her a little.  I will be taking her back into the dentist to see if she has something wrong with it.   I am wondering could she get a cavity in that tooth when we just had X-rays two months ago for her normal visit and everything was fine then.

I am worried that if she does have a cavity can the dentist put a filling in a baby tooth?  She does not have a replacement adult tooth for the baby tooth and I would hate for her to lose it and be left with a gap.    What can be done?  Advise please

My two year old son seems to be having a toothache.  He say is tooth hurts but does not know which one.  I looked in his mouth but do not see anything out of the norm.  I made a dental appointment for two days from now.  It is the soonest he can get in to see the dentist.

I am just wondering if the child does not know what tooth is hurting him will the dentist know for sure which tooth it is?   Thanks

I am a single mom of three children with no dental insurance.  I get some government help but I receive nothing for my dental needs.  Most of the governmental help I get is for my children which is fine.  However, my teeth are so bad that I am in a great deal of pain.

Two days ago my son woke me up around four in the morning complaining of a toothache.  I looked in side his mouth and one of his teeth looked like it had a cavity.  There was a brown spot on it and when I touch it he said it hurt.  He was in such pain I really felt bad for him since there was not much I could do at that time in the morning then just consul him the best I could.

Well as soon as it was 10.00 am I called my dentist who is really nice guy and said he would take my son the same day.  My husband is a pilot for American Air Lines and was not due to come home until much latter in the evening.

So I took my son to the dentist and he fix him right up.  My son was much better afterwords and the dentist gave him a mild pain killer prescription.  So by the time my husband got home our son was in bed asleep.

So here is the odd part.  Before telling my husband about our son’s toothache and the day we had, my husband started telling me he may need to see the dentist.  That his tooth started really hurting him around four in the morning and did not stop hurting until around three in the afternoon.  Which was around the time my son got out of the dentist office.   How weird.  My husband tooth has not bother him since then.

Toothache is making me sleepless in Maryland
