Finally she went to the dentist.
It was the longest night she ever had. She was not able to sleep. She was really disturbed by the toothache. It was 430AM until her eyes finally gave up. From time to time, she still got up since the mefenamic acid tablet did not work.
She woke up around 10AM and she rushed as she wanted to still make it to the office. She went to the dentist first and was diagnosed to have odontalgia. In layman’s term, it is toothache! She tried to work as she did not want to be absent from work. Still, she could not bear the pain. She decided to file a sick leave. Thanks to her supervisor for letting her go home. It is her second day in antibiotics and pain relievers. She woke up today and blurted out that the pain is now isolated to the involved tooth. The one that had permanent filling or “pasta”. So, the dentist did not do a good job? As she was told yesterday, the filling is intact. Yes, but she was warned before that since there was pain on the involved tooth, it was not a good sign. She bore the pain for almost three months.
She wanted the tooth to be extracted but the dentist insisted that it could still be saved. Now, he must let go. The tooth must be taken out. It is now a burden.
