Severe Tooth Pain

Hello!

I am a 39 year old woman with tooth pain, #18 bottom left 2nd molar. I had this tooth crowned (no root canal) two years ago. I generally get tooth ache across all bottom teeth (but mostly molars) one week leading up to my period. So, when this happened two weeks ago, I thought nothing of it. Then, out of the blue one week ago, I was dancing with my young kids and the tooth throbbed terribly and has been hurting since. There is no gum swelling, no gum redness, no sign at all of anything bad. I can get through most of the day on ibuprofen and it can be hardly there and then other times it flares for seemingly no reason. The sensation changes daily. Initially, it caused pain across my face bad enough to hurt while applying makeup. Often it feels sore in my jaw joint. Only recently I'm having sensitivity to warm and cool food and drink which results in nerve pain along the entire jaw.

BACKGROUND

Within a few months to a year after the crown procedure for this tooth, I felt few sharp, sporadic shooting pains in the tooth and had the dentist check -- he said he couldn't find any problems. It was, however, continually sensitive to cold drinks and food.

Last summer I had the same tooth on the opposite side extracted. It , too, had been crowned once extensive decay was eliminated about two years prior. That procedure left me taking pain medicine for 9 months, though -- it had a pulp cap applied and was questionable from the beginning as to if it would survive. Anyway -- this is important because I didn't have that tooth replaced on account of the fact that the area still aches when I get my period. I didn't want to pay an enormous amount of money to have a dental implant just to cause me ongoing problems. SO, I was relying on this left side molar to chew most of my food. My #19 bottom left 1st molar has been extracted and the equivalent on the right side has been recently crowned. All this extensive decay in these bottom molars occurred after the birth of my second son 6 years ago. I let it go too long before I visited a dentist.

WHAT I'VE ALREADY TRIED
I've got a pile of homeopathy bottles here on my desk! For my bottom right tooth (the one that's since been pulled), I took 200 c silica and that took care of the pain but almost immediately created a filled pocket on the gum which deflated randomly for about a year before the crown popped off and I had the tooth extracted. I've hesitated to use 200 c (or any potency) silica yet for that reason. I have tried: a fever/infection formula with a mix of 15x remedies, staphysagria 1m (because this tooth pain eruption came only days after I had a quantum biofeedback "emotional release" done on myself -- and, this remedy heals any UTI I develop after intercourse), merc vivus 1m (because I had it on hand), 6c hepar sulph (because that's everything I can find online for this concern), 200 c hekla lava purchased recently and took maybe 3 or 4 doses, belladonna 30c, mag phos 30c (this took the face/ear pain away and localized the pain in the tooth area quite profoundly). I'm also using a host of gum oils, essential oils and supplementation like B12 for nerve health -- not in a way that would interfere with the homeopathic remedies, of course. I've also been taking goldenseal and an herbal formula for infection of all types.

Of all those remedies, only the mag phos seems to have changed the symptoms of this pain.

I have 200 C hepar sulph and 200 c silica being delivered today and pyrogen 200 c being delivered in a few days as a last resort and hoping someone can advise they are worth a try? I have access to many 30c remedies locally, but will need to wait 2-5 days to order any lower or higher potency remedies.

Anything you could offer would offer hope, as I have run out of options for self care.

If I have this tooth extracted (I won't get a root canal), I will need to replace it with an implant. Because I get that monthly tooth/jaw pain, this option makes me very wary. PLUS, I'm now horrified of the dentist! I will need to be sedated to have that procedure done again. They need to stick me 3-5 times directly in the nerve just to get me numb! And, it wears off very quickly. It's plainly a very traumatic experience each and every time. For what it's worth to the situation, I had two c-sections to deliver my boys. Each time, "normal" anesthetics wouldn't do. I always felt the pain and pressure through the meds.
