Hey Bryanna,
not kidding on the brews, it actually hurt so bad I dropped everything (after I writhed in pain for a bit) and got sloppy. I eat mindfully and don't drink often, but I was in misery and felt I deserved it, and it seemed like a healthier option than pharmaceuticals. What I did not do is take vicodin. In my head that was the trade off. Toughed it out, but it was indeed tough. There is something about dental pain that can make wimps out of anyone, but perhaps my jaw is exceedingly sensitive or something, I remember when I had two upper wisdoms removed, it seemed like major surgery too.
I am glad you said not to remove anything, cause it feels like it is a nerve in there. I have pain radiating from the tooth next to it that needs a filling, and am getting that filled tomorrow, not by the dentist who pulled it but a good time for her to have a look nonetheless.

The color looks good, and it did get better every day, but for me, this type of thing requires 10 days min to recover..
