new to forum - first dentist visit in 10 years

Well after posting in the success forum, I am need of support again. I now have an infected socket and am in so much pain. Was back at dentist yesterday and have been given antibiotics. I am taking so much ibuprofen it's ridiculous. Have been reading up on this and some people are saying it takes weeks or even months to heal. Really don't know if I can handle the pain for that long.

Don't want to put anyone off going to the dentist as i'm still glad I had the teeth out - i'm just so frustrated that after finally conquering my fear, this has happened. Just my luck :(
