Abscessed Tooth...uggg

[Phoenix]

So, I probably will not be on here for as much as I would like for a little bit. A filling fell off my first pre-molar a couple of months ago, and now I have been battling constant agonizing pain for the past week. I have talked to other women to get a more accurate description of how they would describe the pain, and they said that childbirth is nothing compared to this. At least with that you get a break. I've tried every remedy for the pain that has been thought up, but nothing seems to work for more that an hour at the most. So it has been too hard to even sleep, forget eating. It hurts like the thingyens.

I've scheduled a dentist appointment for Thursday. All she is going to do is take an x-ray of the tooth, and then prescribe antibiotics so that the infection doesn't reach my brain(apparently you can die from it, lovely). Unfortunately, I can't really afford much more than that, since, being a college student, I never really made insurance a priority, and I am broker than broke. Thankfully, to see the dentist and get medicine from her it will be only $30, since I am paying in cash. And then I can rush to the emergency room tonight and see if they can get me something other than ibuprofen. It's not really doing much.

Anyways, I hope everyone else is doing well, and I will be back on here soon.

I hope everything works out for you and your tooth. I will do my best at keeping this site up and running. Let me know if you need anything. You are in my thoughts...

Things are going a little better. They gave me some vicodin and penicillin, and that seemed to take things down a notch. I am going in couple weeks to have the offending tooth pulled, so no more problems there. Thank goodness it is more towards the back, so I won't look like a total freak.

Glad you are feeling a little better

Glad to hear you will be getting it removed soon. Good luck with every thing.
