Still worried about tooth problem.

i blogged last week about having to see the dentist about an infected tooth. He gave me some antibiotics to take, & Iv`e nearly finished the course, just one day to go. The problem is that I`m still having some pain, & I`m wondering if that means that the drugs didn`t work, & that the dentist will have to extract the tooth. I`m feeling a lot better, but there`s still a small amount of discomfort & I don`t know what to make of it.

Yes, if it still hurts its probably still infected but no, he won't (or at least shouldn't) pull it while its still in that condition. If you're able to go back or at least arrange a phone chat with the dentist. Don't put up with it whatever you do.

Good Luck.xxx
