God this hurts. What really sucks is that later today I will not be able to take any bayer since it thins the blood and I am having this tooth pulled. I may pick up a bottle of whiskey, no lie, if I think it will help. I can't believe how much this hurts. I can hardly function at times.

Sorry, just needed to vent.

Next time you take any bayer, chew it up first. That way it will digest easier and faster and some may get up into that tooth to help it faster.

I hope you feel better.

curt...you can also get some of that special dental wax (like they give to kids with braces) and use it to cover your tooth so it is less exposed...I had something similar happen a couple years ago...OUCH...

2Min and Baba, I feel for both of you, deeply.

2Min, why can your dentist not SAVE this molar by sending you to a specialist for a root canal? It may take a $1000 hit to your Visa, yet still you would be saving an important tooth. And if it needs a crown, true, that's bigger bucks.

If you're young, its worth saving though.

I think Pais is right about the dental wax, still Friday is a long way to be in this kind of pain. An abcess of that tooth is the worst pain you could EVER endure, worse than what you're handling right now. Lord help you if that's the case.

Baba, bless you, I've never had a kidney stone! Tell 'em to demolish it with lithotripsy. You're floatin' if you're downing Percocet 2 at a time.
