Ow, Ow, Ow

The bad tooth has gone from intermittent to fairly constant pain. Last night, I was able to control it with ibuprofen. Today, much less so. My dentist isn't picking up messages on his answering machine over the weekend, which is not a surprise.

Now, the last time this happened was New Year's Day 2000. I eventually found an emergency dentist and negotiated with him: I wouldn't make him come into the office and he would call in a prescription for antibiotics for me. And antibiotics were seeming like a better and better idea.

Rather than call an emergency dentist, I called Dr. Bob. And he has called my local pharmacy and ordered a course of amoxycillin.

Thank you, Dr. Bob!

I hope the amoxycillin works quickly and you feel better soon!

if you don't mind driving a bit, my dentist office is fantastic about emergencies... Grove Dental in Lombard.

I'll keep it in mind. My dentist keeps threatening to retire...
