Last year I had a deep filling in my front tooth.
So today I went in for an emergency dentist appointment because I have a bad toothache and my face is swelling up a little. Took some ibuprofen which helped with pain and swelling.
Emergency dentist (not my usual dentist) said he wasn't sure. Told me to book appointment with usual dentist which is on Tuesday. On the x-ray he sees a small dark area up in the nerves but says it wasn't that significant?
I'm still in pain. Taking ibuprofen and codeine. Trying to ice my face. Used extra strength oragel. Not having a fun time.
What do I do until Tuesday? What if my face swells up more? He said I didn't need antibiotics. Is he correct in saying I may need a root canal?
