Toothache

Nothing is worse than a toothache
Especially when the tooth is no longer there,
Having been extracted with great care
Six days ago, and I still feel the quake.

Alexis Y. Date: 9/19/2021 7:10:00 PM Hi Milt, I know the feeling, to me a toothache is up there(if not worse ) with labor pains. It's excruciating pain. I hope you feel better soon-Alexis Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 9/19/2021 8:43:00 PM Thanks so much, Alexis. I've been suffering with it since Monday when I had the offending tooth pulled. I think some abcess may have lingered behind.

Nancy Kaufman Date: 9/19/2021 12:48:00 PM sorry Milton, I hope you were put on anti biotics? If it continues you better see an emergency dentist asap.

Apparently some abcess remained behind to torment me. Thanks, Tom.
