Ever since I had a cavity filled two or three days ago, I've had a sore tooth and been getting very light headaches around the area that it was done.

I'm wonder if the dentist could have had some sort of malpractice while working on my tooth that caused the root to become infected.

One can never be sure on a forum, but can you puts 5-10 clove oil drops on the area and take you temperature? Infections always cause a rise in body temp.

have always hated going to the dentist as they never have anything good to say. but have had some crazy toothaches of late so i have made an appointment for first week of Dec. im really not looking forward to it but its overdue.went 8-9 years without a visit and has been 2 or so since my last. no fillings and all wisdoms out. 2 teeth have broken since last appointment i think from overcrowding >_<

Certain races have small jaws/mandibles and large teeth > overcrowding.

Your parents have overcrowded teeth too?

Why does it seem that 90% of the population are freaked out going to the dentist? Bad visions as a child perhaps? Or it's the injections used when numbing for a filling or removal of teeth hahahahaha

i dont mind the needles as it helps me not feel everything else.

i hate that grinding feeling. have only had 1 tooth pulled after a hockey mishap but had already had heaps of needles so it wasnt too bad...sounded terrible though >_<

had tooth pulled an hour ago after finding my broken tooth was in pretty bad condition and might not repair well. was painfree getting it out but feels strange getting pulled around the chair by pliers.hopefully doesnt hurt too much tonight once the anaesthetic is totally worn off

also scored tomorrow off :thumbsup:

Poor gum health in mice > severe forms of arthritis.

I'm not sure of the mechanism except for the fact that periodontal disease > breakdown of the mandible.

So might this corollary exist...

Keep your gums healthy > reduced risk of arthritis???

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
