95% better now that the absessed molar is GONE....Like to NEVER get it numb had to drill down into the tooth and inject the numbing stuff. I screamed it hurt so bad. Took 1 and a half hours to get it finally numb enough. But he finally broke through the old filling and shot the root up with the numbing stuff and then got it out. There was a crack all the way down to the root. He originally thought he could to a root canal and save the tooth.
There was so much reflected pain due to infection, finding the right tooth was difficult. It wasn't the one I thought (front) but the left rear molar. Have to stay on antibotics for a few more days. BUT don't even need a pain pill now.
I've had lots of pain over the years from past surgeries...NEVER anything like the pain from an absessed molar.
