Well, so much for clove oil. Didn't help at all and felt like I would imagine battery acid would have felt, had I applied it to the same area. I ended up scheduling an emergency appointment this morning with a dentist. Got a bucketful of industrial strength Vicodins and some antibiotic horse pills. Then next week, I have a root canal to look forward to after the infection clears up. Yippee!
I guess it was a wise move to purchase dental insurance last week. Of course, today's visit wasn't covered as my coverage takes effect on Monday. At least, I will be paying a lot less for all of the future work. And there will be plenty of that, but at least I made the first step towards getting my long neglected teeth back in order. In a way, it's a hell of a relief. I just could have done without the misery.
