[QUOTE="Idlefellow, post: 618211, member: 598"] OT: follow up to my toothache post. Went to a 24-hour dental clinic the day after Thanksgiving; he said the root was "irritated or inflamed" and said I was probably looking at a root canal. They could do it immediately he said, and quoted me a price that was easily double what I would pay with my regular dentist. I said I needed to think about it; they gave me a script for pain meds and sent me on my way. Maybe a big mistake as I spent the weekend in intense pain and the meds didn't even touch it. I was able to get in to my regular dentist yesterday; he took one look and said "the tooth is split completely in half!" He couldn't believe the other guy didn't see it; scoffed at a root canal and said the only way to fix it was to get that tooth out of there. Said the pain was so bad because the tooth was cracked through the root and it would have taken some heavy-duty drugs to even touch it. So it's out, the pain subsided in a few hours, and I'm on antibiotics and still taking some pain meds. Not the best Thanksgiving weekend I've ever had. [/QUOTE]
