heydays: Suicide kwa?? The teeth are one of the most painful organs of the body but @Op first things first, don’t consider removing another tooth again. Extraction doesn’t heal/cure tooth decay. Secondly, go herbal. Believe me, that dentist you so much believe in can’t help you here. Go herbal. Go see all these old women. The procedure can be excruciatingly painful at first but you should be fine within days and that pulse beat you feel in the affected tooth every night will be a thing of the past. Once again, dentists can’t help you. You will be fine. Where are you based? |

Amayabor1:You may not be entirely correct about Longrich toothpaste not being medicinal. My older sis was having severe tooth discomfort, then someone recommended Longrich to her. After about a week of usage, the pains went away. I'm not in any way trying to promote the product( I don't use it anyways), but the OP can give it a try if it won't cost much |

Always had dental issues as a kid. I'm surprised it's no more.... Thank God. And yeah , when I was about 6 and had my first fill , my brother asked the dentist how we could prevent future occurrences and he said if he tells us we won't come back. Marvyx: |

Amayabor1: At least we are heading ALMOST to same direction.I choose not to refer to dentists in Nigeria as surgeons because a whole lot of them are doing in many cases EXACTLY what is received for the specialists as you mentioned.I may not have all the knowly,heck I'm even a literary student,BUT I come from a family tree filled with medical personnel and so I've overheard such conversations relating to the subject matter. We really don't have "DENTIST" who are specialized to treat recurring or severe cases of oral issues.The dentists we have here are just TRYING to do everything,hereby causing more problems. If I begin to the you what I have gone through,money spents.How many times I've gone under the knife.WHICH KIND TEETH PROBLEM WEY I NEVER TRY TO SOLVE.Even ordinary root canal many dentists cannot handle.Thats why I see many them as too basic. I don't even want to talk about the outdated equipments in many dental clinics in Nigeria.Their limited knowledge will never make go for suffocated ones. |

always chew garlic with the teeth, use pesident toothpaste to brush morning and night and also go to the people selling root and harb to sell chew stick that cure tooth pain to you. use it morning and night, and finally buy ibuprofen, calcium and chemora drugs. you can still use forever living products toothpaste to replace pesodent toothpaste. this is experience is not guessing. |

Do this and say bye bye to your pains for a very long time if not forever. Try applying your poo on the affected area before going to bed. It worked for a friend. |

godstino:. OP this are the people you should fear the most, they are worst than anything. A demon is better than this persons Like I said go for what will kill off the bacteria and will start healing your internal tissues, herbal treatment is best After a month or two look for a military hospital and check up yourself Never go to any private dental facilities I don tell you, forget all the lies and scary stories they will tell you You can see how many of your teeth they have remove, I am telling you from experience |

Chew Moringa stick as shewing stick, make sure the water touches the affected place. Boil the leafs and use the water to rinse your mouth for about 4-5 mins. Appreciate God for nature. |

LadyRosa: They don't need you to refer to them as surgeons. A Dentist is also called a Dental surgeon everywhere in the world. That you had a bad experience in the hands of 1 or 2 of them doesn't take away the fact that a dentist is a Dental surgeon. What you are complaining about also happens with Medical Doctors. There are medical doctors that have killed patients because of their poor knowledge, skill or they didn't refer the patient to a specialist on time. That doesn't mean all medical doctors in Nigeria are not medical doctors because of that. Or that all medical doctors in Nigeria have limited knowledge and skills. We have about 4,000 dental Surgeons in Nigeria. Only 1 or 2 of them has attended to you and they did a poor job doesn't mean all Dentists in Nigeria have poor knowledge and skills or that they are not Dental surgeons. Travel to Lagos, PH, Enugu, Benin, Abj, etc and go see standard, world Class dental clinics. You have had a bad experience with a Dentist (that's if the person you saw is even a Dentist). However, there are thousands of successful work that other Dentists have done. You just don't generalise like that. Millions of patients have had successful tooth extraction, successful surgical extraction, successful Root canal therapy, successful removal of jaw tumors, success treatment of fractures of the face, successful rearrangement of their teeth with braces and other Orthodontic appliances, etc for which they are eternally grateful to their Dentists. I saw a comment on this thread where the person said the Dentist treated his brother who had a broken jaw and he did a very good job. Your bad experience doesn't change the fact that Dentists are also called Dental surgeons. I'm beginning to believe you didn't see a Dentist/Dental surgeon. See, there are many dental clinics in this country that are run by Dental Technologist and dental therapist which is not supposed to be so. Dental therapists do only professional cleaning (scaling and Polishing). Dental Technologists are lab technicians that produce some dental appliances that a Dentist use. A Dental Technologist and Dental therapist are not dentist. One way to Know is to just ask the person "please, which school did you finish from". A Dental Surgeon/Dentist graduates from a University. If the person tells you he graduated from Uniben, UI, UNN, university of Maiduguri,UNIPORT, then that person is a Dentist. There are only about 7 or 8 universities in Nigeria that offer Dentistry as a course. But when the person tells you he graduated from Federal college of Dental technology (which is an equivalent of a college of education abi polythenic), then run for your life. That person can't be a Dentist. Some of them (Dental Technologist and Dental therapists) own and operate dental clinics and do many procedures on patients that they are not trained to do. So, when next you visit a private Dental clinic, be very sure that the person you are seeing is a Dentist and you have every right to ask him if he is a Dentist. Only a Dentist/Dental surgeon is qualified to diagnose, and treat diseases of the mouth (and it's contents) and face. If the person tells you he finished from Federal college of Dental Technology, then that person has no business attending to a patient (except if it teeth cleaning you want to do in which case a Dental therapist can do) 2 Likes 1 Share |

owiko: Your sister is only postponing the evil day. Once a tooth starts paining you, go see a Dentist. Toothpaste like longrich do not cure toothache. It may give temporary relief, but the pain will surely come back. And no Dentist can recommend longrich for you. Longrich toothpaste doesn't contain flouride (which is a major ingredient in toothpaste that helps to prevent the teeth from having hole/decay from where all these problems start from). There are many good toothpastes in Nigeria that contain flouride (Close up, Colgate, Pepsodent, Oral B etc). These are the ones that is recommended for us. And even at that, once tooth pain has started, these ones can't take care of it. It will be wise to go see a Dentist. |

Amayabor1: Well I'm not generalizing and apart from my experiences and others who I know,I got my first hand knowledge about this issues through a foreign trained medical doctor.Again my dental history us almost same with many members of my immediate family so I have been wondering if it's a bloodline issue.My mom in particular has been in and out of dental clinics ALL HER LIFE. To bust your bubbles,we have used both private and federal government dental clinics.I m not ruling out the fact that there ain't any good ones,my argument is that it's very rare.Again,we don't have those with such degree of specialty like you mentioned in equitable numbers ESPECIALLY in our government hospitals.I stopped using government hospital long time again,same with my brothers still, the issues are still recurring.Now,if there's an in-depth issue concerning this age long dental problems,we have not been able to tackle it up till date.First,there maybe some sort of relief,then after one or two tearsy,more problems generates. All in all, I grasped loads of reasonable points in your posts. |

Re: My Tooth Is Killing Me, Help!!! by Amayabor1: 12:08am On Apr 17, 2022 |
LadyRosa: Well, if you really want to get first hand information on Dental practice in Nigeria, a foreign trained Doctor is the last person to meet for such information. And it is not true that good dentists are rare in Nigeria. I think your problem and that of your family members require the attention of a Specialist (a consultant), not just a Dentist/Dental surgeon. The unfortunate thing is that most Federal teaching hospital do not have enough Dental consultants or some just have few consultants in some specialties. It is only established teaching hospitals like UCH, OAUTH, UBTH and some few others that you will get specialists/consultants in all the fields of Dentistry. So, when next you visit your Dentist for a particular problem he has been managing without lasting solution, request he refer you to a specialist. 1 Like |
