I can be a Macho Jerk sometimes. Loose tooth when I woke up 1 morning. 2 dentists I use both OKed my Lets see if tooth tightens up.
Stupid logic. Over a year it became more infected slowly. And I resisted losing it.
Finally I call my summer dentist on Friday morning. He is closed Friday to Monday morning. Go to a E R room...........
I have a excellent, caring female dentist as a backup. I call her. They are booked solid on Friday. Can I come in a 10 am ? I arrive. She hears my story. Puts me on Amoxicillin Friday. Next day my hallucinations stop. All my bodily systems start recovering rapidly. Stop taking Ibuprofen. Today, Sunday, I feel FANTASTIC !!!
Moral............ NEVER ask a dentist or dental person about ANYTHING that is not repairing a cavity or removing a painful tooth. They are usually not infection doctors. I switched to the lady dentist as my new full time dentist.
