mlerulesOkay, some may quibble, but I maintain that tooth pain is the WORST pain. Luckily, I snagged an emergency DDS visit this AM and am now hopped up on Tylenol 3 and ibuprofen. Hoping the antibiotics help, too. Best case scenario for tomorrow AM: emergency root canal retreatment (redoing an old one). Fingers crossed re: getting a last-minute appt w/the specialist today's dentist referred (closed today or I'd've tried already).
Did I mention that my 'rents fly in tomorrow AM? Or that we're scheduled to go coastal Friday AM for two nights?
EDIT: Saw specialist this AM and now have appointments for a root canal retreat for January 8 & 22, 2019 (earliest available). Hopefully this'll work. DDS plans to go in, dig out all the nasty stuff from an old root canal that's funky and failing, pack my head with antibiotics, then take it out a couple of weeks later and refill it with good stuff. Of course, he won't know what's up for sure until he gets in and starts digging, but fingers crossed this'll do it.
