I have a rotten toothache...
it's one of my molars. The dentist told me last year that the next tooth to be done would be this one -- it has an old crown that needs to be replaced. He was right, I guess. I just hope it doesn't need a root canal.

Pass the Advil.

1. I had to go all weekend
once with a horrible tooth ache! Tried everything, even chewing aspirins. Had to get a root canal on Monday.

I feel for you! That was one miserable weekend!

3. Thanks... it's a dull ache.
But ever present. And like a freaking idiot, I went out for ice cream with my dad tonight. He wanted to go to Cold Stone. What a moran I am!

4. I was thinking of a nice bourbon tonight...
but if I'm taking Advil I don't want to aggrevate my stomache.

5. I wouldn't worry about it.
You have to look at the bigger picture. Tooth pain is real!

Oh... Walgreens is open 24 hours. Do they have it?

8. Walgreens has it

I bought it there before. My dentist told me it was better than the actual toothache gels like Anbesol & Orajel. Those are at Walgreens too.

9. I think oil of wintergreen on a cottonball will also do the trick.
Feel better soon.
