Can has healthy teeth plz?

[melchar]

Am in pain. I have an abscess in an inconvenient location [top left furthest back molar] that had a root canal done unto it 4 years ago. The entire left side of my face feels like the aftermath of being hit in the face with a bat. Hurts to talk - and chew.

Spent all day going from dentist to endodontic [root canal] specialist - to finding out that all 3 of the maxillofacial [jaw] surgeons he recommends are out of office and won't be back till Monday. At least I could make an appointment with 1 of them for 7am Monday. [The other 2 offices were completely closed already.]

Only things I really got accomplished today in driving about to different offices was the confirmation that 'yep, it's an abscess all right', Xrays to take the the jaw guy Monday & the prescription for antibiotics. [sighs]

All positive thoughts gratefully accepted. I hate it when some part of my body goes rogue on me and starts working for the 'other side'.

Geez, I'm sorry to hear that. Just rest and load up on the pain-killers. (Trouble is, some nasty bugger keeps resurrecting Pain after he's been killed!)

... and the pain stuff wears off ...

Found out I am pretty much immune to the analgesic effects of pain killers [O -that's- SO much fun] - although astringent & anti-swelling effects still work - which can reduce pain. But is just not the same. So I pretty much have to suck up the 'ow'.

Thank you for the thoughts. I am a complete wimp when it comes to pain like this.
