My very back top tooth on the left hand side, before my wisdom teeth, needs to get pulled today. I went in so they could take a look at it friday and they scheduled me in today. Other than child labor I have never been in this much pain. My mouth, my head, my face... it just throbs with pain. I can't wait to get it pulled out. I guess the nerve is exposed all the way down to the bone? (That's just what the dr said... I don't know Exactly what it means) I cannot eat or drink. How long does it take for the pain to subside after the tooth is pulled? I would just love for this headache to go away, it's horrible.
