At least your ex-tooth knows it is missed?

Perhaps it is hanging around for your, "Well done my good and faithful servant" blessing?

I suppose, Rico. Saw the dentist a couple of hours ago, and he said it is healing, just being slow about it.

I am sorry to hear it, but hoping things are better since your sense of humor is in tact.

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

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.

sorry Milton, I hope you were put on anti biotics? If it continues you better see an emergency dentist asap.

Yes, I'm on antibiotics. If it is not better by tomorrow, I'll be hitting up my dentist! Thanks, Nancy.

Nothing frightens me more than a toothache, which is why I had the offending tooth pulled. Apparently some abcess remained behind to torment me. Thanks, Tom.
