PSA: If your temporary crown falls off, do not apply ambesol

I went in to the dentist on tuesday to get fitted for a crown on one of my upper back teeth. Sat night, while out of town, the temporary crown fell out while I was eating.

Now, if you're not familiar with the procedure, they basically take and grind off the outer layers of your tooth and place a metallic or ceramic piece over what's left.

So, the pain intensity has been gradually increasing since Sat, and when I arrived home tonight I figured a dab of ambesol would make it feel better. I proceded to apply a drop of the solution directly to the tooth, and BAM, it was like a bit on a 100,000 Volt power line. THe pain I was previously experiencing was multiplied by about 100x, and seems to be lasting quite a while.

I took a percocet I had left over from a surgery I had a while back, and theat managed to numb the pain for about an hour.

FUN!!!

yeh... ambesol is supposed to go on your gums, but.... NOW you know that. 😛
 
Ambesol works better than KY for anal sex... My buddy rubs it on his wife's poop shooter and pulls an "oops" during sex, she doesnt even know what hit her!

You realize I can synthesize cocaine alkaloids on a large scale easier than you can buy ambesol right? Benzocaine and DMSO on the anus would work far better...

Also... ever heard of Amyl Nitrates?

I've heard of guys putting cocaine on the unit prior to/during sex. I guess it's quite a sensation

The base alkaloid is quite illegal though. ^^ And 3,4,methylenedioxy,N,N,methamphetamine would work better. ~°°~

Your dentist sucked.

They're supposed to take out the nerve endings before they put the temp crown on.

You suck for not knowing you're only supposed to eat really soft foods and avoid chewing a lot for the two weeks you have your temp crown.

You have no idea what you are talking about. That is only for a root canal.

To the OP and anyone else interested; if this happens in the future use some denture paste (glue not cleanser) then call you dentist asap. The temp crown, while is functional, is also protective. It is importand to have bacteria sealed out. There are canals, called tubules, that run directly into the nerve of the tooth from a preped tooth. There can be as many as 3k per square mm (this is why the OP experienced so much pain). So you can see how easy it is for the nerve to get infected after the tooth is preped for a crown. There is a reason the about 10% of teeth that have crowns will need root canals. The bacerial seal is very important and you shouldn't wait to get a temp crown recemeneted, any dental office should be able to have you in and out. If they cannot fit you in...get a new dentist.
