Advil is working wonders... as long as it doesn't wear off. The nice dentist lady lived up to her name... I now know considerably more about dental procedures. And I have a cell phone number to call in case things get really bad.
Tomorrow I'm going to set up an emergency exam. And find out exactly what needs to be done.
It could end up cheap (relatively). The best case scenario is about $150. Thats for one tooth..... if I need more pulled, or a specialist has to be brought in, or I need to be "put under" it could run all the way up to the $1500 range.
Hopefully it'll be both cheap and quick. .......but I'd be plenty happy with just quick.
