I am sorry you are having to go through this and I empathize. I got my wisdom tooth that had abscessed pulled Friday. I hate going to the dentist, and have had dry socket 3x in the past. So I was not ready to go, but the tooth was. I am healing nicely but I have an infection in my glands under my jaw and it feels like someone has punched me hard. To top it off the lady dentist said I had a low threshold for pain. This sucked to hear. I SI. Maybe she did not see the scars which is a good thing. But then again I cried openly.
I understand not taking the painkillers (although she only prescribed IB & antibiotics), my sister gave me some of hers and I was sick with nausea for two days.

I wish you well on the next part of your dental journey. I pray that it will not be as painful.
