Bryanna, I saw a general dentist. She had xrays taken first to make sure she would be able to extract the tooth and if not, she would have sent me to an oral surgeon. I had to call the office back to find out what they want me to do and spoke to the receptionist again. She confirmed that the dentist just wants me to take the antibiotics and call them if the problem continues after those are all gone. I am very frustrated and a little hurt that the dentist didn't seem to take my condition seriously. I've been peeking at the infection each morning to see how it's doing. This is day 3 and there may be some improvement, but very little. It is still very green and has been giving me an extremely foul taste all yesterday and this morning so far. I've taken to carrying a cup with me to spit into. My pain level has lessoned some, though I am still needing to take my pain medication. Thanks again Bryanna for your quick replies and advice!
