I've posted before about my abscessed tooth. It's been going on for over two weeks now. I went back to the dentist again today. He was as frustrated as me about it still being infected. He gave me two options - go to an oral surgeon and have a root canal and possible surgery to get rid of the infection or pull the danged thing and give me a bridge. I went with the pulling/bridge option because my stinkin' insurance wouldn't cover the surgeon. Seemed pretty straightforeward pull the tooth and put in a bridge when the swelling goes down.
He had to take an ex-ray before they pulled the tooth. The x-ray showed the tooth next to the abscessed one is now infected too! If it's not one thing it's another!
Man I am so tired of this! I feel worn out by the whole mess, not to mention I tired of the danged thing hurting. Enough already!
