question: Had toothache for 7 days...and finally the courage to go yesterday to Dentist...Only have 6 lower centre teeth. He x-rayed checked my to lower capped (which are joined) said they are fine and filled a cavity on the next existing tooth. He also re surfaced my 2 capps (as the gold was showing) After 30 mins my gum and lips were still numb, but I felt the old tooth ache. I phoned in and reception said wait till everey thing wears off. AS it wore off I felt this rough piece in the centre where he drilled...2 hours later slight fever...he said...anti=biotics...or he can redrill draw out the nerve...or extraction. Where do I stand?
