Oof… I’m looking at antibiotics and a root canal
Ouch. Hopefully you have caught it before it has gotten too bad? Worst pain I've ever had was an infected tooth, and it took multiple treatments packing antibiotics inside the tooth before it was healed enough for the root canal.
If you have gotten it before that stage it should not be too bad - root canals have a scary reputation, but they are really just lots of the standard drilling and things which are never fun, but nothing to be traumatised by.
Heh heh… about that… I’ve been in dull discomfort for quite some time. But hopefully it’s not that bad 🤞
Dull discomfort is not too bad - it's when you get to throbbing, lie on the floor crying and contemplating cutting your own tooth out with a knife type pain you are in trouble. You have the antibiotics now though, so you don't have to worry about it getting to that point.
I’m very glad I got checked before xmas
Oh that sounds painful and expensive.
I’m hoping that it’s not too bad
