This week I went to the dentists for a checkup and one of my teeth has been aching again. The same one that hurt 7 months ago when I last went. As before; it’s not the tooth it’s the gum. I’m taking antibiotics at the moment and using mouth wash three times a day. The pharmacist advised me not to drink alcohol at all, as even a tiny amount of wine will feel like the whole bottle.
Why tooth-hurty? That was the time of my appointment. The next one in a couple of weeks will be at tooth-hurty too (oops, not 2.32 - two thirty)

Whenever my gums hurt, I use a water pic and wash out around the tooth. It washes out food that is trapped down low. Then it stops hurting. Try that and see if that helps.
Groan! :-D I can't believe as grown adults we still do the tooth hurty thing. Mr Doris had a tooth hurty too (which has also recently-ish been treated) and has resorted to the desensitising toothpaste which, so far, is doing the trick.
I hope yours feel better soon.
onnie: Thanks for the tip. I'm getting in between but I think over time it got worse.
Doris: I use that kind of toothpaste too. It does help and thank goodness it tastes nicer nowadays.
