So what do I do?
Wait for it to pass hopefully by next week?
Go to the dentist tomorrow and hope they can do something about it that won't postpone my surgery?
It hurts to talk since it's one of my molars, I can't take any pain killers that would actually do some good, only Tylenol or it's equivalent which barely stifles the pain. I do have some q-tips loaded with benzocain that will numb the site...
Heat feels good on it so I'm doing hot washcloth on my jaw and will go take some more tylenol. I know that heat stimulates blood flow so if its an abcess or something like that it will definitely help.
It was slow at work and I was not feeling well so they let me go home early, I picked up my paycheck from Beverly's and then drove by one of the dentist offices that was referred by other people at work, then realized it's Labor Day, dentist is closed.
So tomorrow it is.
Can't even eat top ramen because in order to bite down on the noodles and veggies it puts my jaw in the wrong position to clamp down on the molar in screaming agony.
Okay... medicine is taken, hoping I'll be able to get some sleep tonight. Going to go check online for my dental coverage and see what it might cost.
