I woke up in the morning as well as something did not recognize right in our mouth, however i thought that I spent the night grinding our teeth… Sometimes I do that when I have nervousness or anxiety, then the whole side of our face hurt as well as I had a little bit of an earache.
I decided to take a couple of Tylenol before I went to work, my mouth started to recognize better as well as I forgot about the toothache until after lunch.
I was eating some fried chicken as well as I felt an ache in our tooth, then when I drank some Pepsi pop, the ache in our tooth was even worse. I knew at that moment that the problem was never grinding our teeth. I absolutely had a cavity. I had to make an appointment with the dentist office near me. There are lots of dental offices near me, however there are only a couple of sites that take our insurance. I already have a family dentistry practice that I properly use. I called the receptionist as well as made an appointment. When I told her that I was experiencing pain as well as difficulty eating, she gave me the earliest appointment which was the next morning at 2:00 p.m. She also told me to call if I was in awful pain, because she could give me the name of an emergency dental office in the nearby city. They did not take insurance, however in an emergency, they would be able to help out. I was able to wait until the next morning at 2:00 p.m. when I found out that I had a drastic cavity that needed to be drilled as well as filled.
