tooth pain
i think the gum around one of my molars with a cavity in it is swollen a little bit, which means that the achepain isn't actually the tooth, but the gum. better? worse? this pain goes away with meds, at least, where tooth nerve pain is less affected.
does mean that manipulating my jaw without thinking about it twinges, tho.
don't have the time to do a dentist, where all they'll be is astounded/concerned about all the /other/ cavities i have. mm.

@catterfly that seems odd. Don't take it to a dentist, though. They all just want to get as much money as possible from you... I still go when I have to though.
tooth pain
@RealPoptartBear i expect really it's just a small infection, and i'll keep up a dental hygiene regimen and hope that takes care of it. if it gets to 'i can't think without being in pain' i'll get some help tho

@catterfly I haven't had any tooth problems in years, although I probably should have. I feel like I need more hygiene. All round.
