Tooth pain

It's possible you've had something going on with that tooth the whole time and your body was able to fight it and hold it under control so you didn't notice it much, but now that your body and immune system are busy somewhere else they can't keep up with whatever is going on with the tooth. If you're "lucky" the nerve will die soon and the pain will go away for a while and hopefully until you can see a dentist, otherwise it's likely to get worse. Is there really no way a dentist can see you?

@Nevine I might be able to get into somewhere else but its uncertain at the same time since every place around my town is fully booked

Another possibility which is not great but might help control it for a bit is antibiotics but that's really only if there is NO other way and should at least be prescribed by a dentist or at least any kind of doctor. From what you're saying (can't tell for sure without seeing you in person and an x-ray of the tooth) it sounds like an emergency treatment which is pretty quick could help a lot (open the tooth and put some medication inside) or remove the tooth depending on the state it's in.

If you get high fever or if there's big swelling or you notice a lot of pus you need to go the the ER

Oh my god I had this about a week after too!! It was giving me a banging headache too. I used painkillers and it has now gone thankfully (now 2.5 weeks) but I booked a dentist app for when I can drive again - very strange post partum symptom

Be sure to replenish the vitamins and minerals in your body especially after a C-section. It can take a lot out of us on top of being a new mom (and even breastfeeding). Lack of proper minerals can cause tooth pain or loss 🤍 I wish someone would’ve told me that!

Please don’t listen to anyone here. Make a emergency appointment and tell them what’s going on. You don’t want to end up with an infection and have to get a root canal. I work in dental and I see patients who try to wait and it gets worse. People also forget that your oral health is a big factor in your overall health and cause more issues that you don’t want to deal with. There should be an emergency dentist somewhere near by. But please don’t wait it out and wait for the nerve to die don’t ever take advice like that.

@Nevine no the ER won’t be able to do anything she needs to see an emergency dentist. Theyll tell her to go see a dentist.

@Shynel I work in dental too as a matter of fact and before bashing anyone and if you read what I wrote correctly I did not advise to wait until the nerve dies but referred to what happens if there really is no way any kind of dentist can see her and if they do she will most likely get an emergency root canal. I worked on patients for more than 10 years and this is what reality looks like. If it's bad people get antibiotics first to help fight the infection and only then can they initiate the final treatment. How many patients with pulpitis have you seen that got completely numb with an active infection that could be fully treated right away? Every single one? I doubt it.

Also there are fully grown abscess es that will not be treated by a regular dentist and she would need to see a maxillofacial surgeon.
