Tooth tale

I went through an excruciating pain today for the toothache which I was neglecting for long, so much so I made an urgent appointment with the local dentist. All tips and quick reliefs failed and I was almost going mad with pain and headache. It finally got revealed in the clinic that the tooth is badly decayed from infections, so the dentist suggested to uproot it and there is no better option. I am going to visit him again after 7 days for the procedure and meanwhile I am prescribed some pain killers (NSAID) and antibiotics. The pain is gone for now and it seems like I am back to normal again. He also suggested to fill micro cavities in other teeth so there is lesser chance of having this problem in future.
I hope you all are taking care of your teeth well.

I have so far good teeth. But my mother had a similar case last year in September. And guess what, the dentist had a fever that day but did not tell mother or any other patients. My mother understood this when the procedure was half way through. The next 11 days, my mother was sick, not of tooth pain but of covid. So, be careful. Make sure the doctor has no fever or cough on that day.

I hope all goes well. Yes in this case, the only option is the dentist Jojo.
There is not much worse pain than a tooth.

Oh my, it sounds miserable. I am currently playing roulette with my teeth I think.
