I got a present for my birthday- a ROOT CANAL ! Right after Thanksgiving dinner the upper left molar started hurting. By evening it was a nightmare. tried calling the Dentist on his "emergency" number, but found out later he was out of town. called my regular doctor at home, and he called in some pain pills that seemed to help a little. Doc said I probably had a cracked tooth and air was in contact with the nerve... FINALLY got a hold of the Dentist when he got back in town on Sunday. He said I had an abscess, and that was causing the pain...... Had me take some amoxicillin- 1500mg (had it on hand, always have to take it before any dental work) Turns out BOTH were right! The tooth had cracked, and an abscess had started. I was never so happy to get a root canal in my entire life. I had tried using Orajel, but that stuff was worthless. The dentist said if I had used old fashioned CLOVE OIL it would have penetrated the crack and knocked the pain down quite a bit.
