Ow. Hope you can get it fixed ASAP. And that you don't need a root canal.

Tooth pain is one of the worst. Take the day off and try to rest, if you have painkillers, use them.

Sounds like it's infected, so prepare yourself for a root canal.
Sorry.
I've had two, and with conscious sedation, they were no big deal. Except in the wallet.

This happened to me too. My dentist first gave me anitbiotics and vicodin for the first few days to get rid of the infection and help with the pain ( didn't help the pain at all ) I then went back and had the RC done. Not too bad at all. The worst pain was before I went to the dentist. I feel for you V...

It was hard for me to find coverage as I am one of the very few OTs for the company so I had to deal with it. No fun.. Good luck tomorrow.

Oh - that sounds painful. My dad just went through something similar and he was on antibiotics for almost a week before the dentist would begin the work. He said, though, that the pain was much improved after just two days on the antibiotics.

It's weird because the pain definitely comes and goes. It was really bad after I ate breakfast and first posted. Lunch didn't bother me nearly as much. Difference between hot and cold food maybe?
I am hoping it will just be a new filling or a crown. At least when you go back for the crown, it's pretty quick. I don't have time for multiple trips to the dentist. Yeah, of course I'll make the time, but it does not fit well with my life plans...
I've got Thom's parents visiting next weekend, work stuff to do, training... You know, my life!
My dentist is also a triathlete, so that makes visits a little better.
