So the gums around my wisdom teeth on the right side of my mouth have become infected resulting in unending pain. It started Friday morning and wasn’t that bad. By Friday night though, I was suffering from pretty annoying pain. I didn’t sleep much and only managed to fall asleep at around 5 AM when my father, who was just waking up for the day, recommended I rinse out my mouth with some whiskey. My dentist doesn’t work on Saturday which I discovered after traveling to his office. I called his office and the message that greeted me provided a phone number for the Dental Emergency Services which is open 7 days a week until midnight. The dentist that saw me there gave me antibiotics and prescription strength Tylenol 3 that is supposed to tide me over until my dentist can see me. I can safely say that the Tylenol hasn’t really provided me with much relief unfortunately. I did manage to catch my boss online today and asked him if I could work form home tomorrow so I can try to see my dentist who’s office is about 5 minutes away from me. I’m guessing he will recommend removing my wisdom teeth. Guess we’ll see tomorrow…
