I ended up in the ER this morning with a major toothache...needless to say, the doctor treated me like a second-class person, treating me like I'm some dumb person or someone who's 'compromised' He ended up giving me Tramadol(which is non-narcotic but better than Motrin at controlling pain) and PenicillinVK..I cannot see anyone at the dental clinic until April..this is terrible!

OUCH!!!! - YOU will be in my PRAYERS.

If I was YOU I would call the clinic every two days or so and see if any one canceled their appt...... Good Luck.

LoVe,

P.S.
Gauze soaked in warm salt water always gave me some relief, along with 4 Advils at one time.

Hello I hope you feel better soon. I would call and get a referral from the Emergency Room to the clinic. Sometimes the ER can call and get you in quicker. Call the clinic as well and let them know that you were just in ER last evening and you will take any appointment you can get if that is possible. Take care Soidhonia
