K, Well I got a cap put on my tooth on thurs... they gave me tylenol 3 for the pain. I felt safe going to the dentist and taking the med as I'm well into my second trimester.
Thing is, he didn't do a root canal because he didn't wanna take more xrays. (it's a tiny little machine, with VERY MINIMAL xrays) They put 2 lead aprons over me too, so.. no worries.
Fast forward to today, well, my mouth is KILLING me, I'm out of tylenol3, the gum area is swollen, and even tho my gums don't hurt anymore, my tooth and jaw kills when I bite down. OUCH. I cant bite down, I can't chew, nothing. it HURTS... Im thinking about going in tomorrow and requesting that he do a root canal and redo the cap. I actually had to get a vicoden type medicine called Darvon from my mom because it's hurting so bad. It just now took effect.
Does anyone agree?
I need to hear some of your experiences with this.
BTW, I'm on Amoxycillin for a sinus infection, been on it since thursday. So I'm pretty sure there's no worries regarding infection from the root canal.
Thank you all, Cindie
