Tooth Pain

Yesterday evening was pretty rough. The pain in my tooth continued to increase, to the point that I thought I'd have to go to the emergency room at one point. I had my wife get some Anbesol, and used an ice pack to help manage it. While the pain was pretty bad, it eventually settled back to a dull ache. This morning, I called the dentist at his home residence and discussed my options. He said he could do a root canal today if the pain was unbearable, or if it could wait until tomorrow, to call right away in the morning to see when they could fit me in. I decided to wait as the pain was just a dull ache, and decided to just tough it out. It will be a long day.
