Hi Zany, that sounds a real drag :( Hugs for you x

That's disgusting. The dentist should have packed it and used a shorter drill bit! Once when I was having tooth problems I used the liquid protein drinks. The chocolate is really good!

Oh my, I detest going to visiting dentist.
my dentist knows to gas me & send me the bill.

I have had whats called a dry socket.
That smarts & is a bloody mess.

sounds like hospital didn't want to step on another Dr toes and
they didin't want to fool with you.

I personal would not eat Anything nor drink creamy type drinks.
I Would Not wait until Tuesday. nor would I call the dentist.
I would pack me few bottles of water.
Darn right I would sign in and wait in Dentist office until he had a moment to see me.
I wouldn't care if O had to spend 9 hrs there. she/he would see me
before she/he left out the back door.

There is a so called thing that all dentist, dr's. hospital etc... offer. that is emergency care for/ on their client.

I wouldn't care what ft office says. I have only 1 body and I'm not into pain nor down time.
I would do all that I could do to prevent infection.infection that could effect my sinus cavity,
I would prevent remote possibility of infection dripping down bk of my throat.

I feel for you. your brave. hope your denist gave you some good pain med & med for -to prevent infection.

You have 1 body. protect it. take caharge of it. for get the white coat w wall plates , it's your body & you know it better than anyone.

Lot's of X's & spit bucket.

Again don't wait until Tue. Emergentcy is just that an emergentcy.

If Dr refuses simple drop hint that your having dinner w friends & 1 of 3 is an atty., the other works for core of engineers ( my brother really does work for core)
The denist will either refuse to see you but she/he won't risk even the slitice possibilty of law suit - darn liaibilitys & high insurance cost. business is business.

cHELLE, MY THOUGHTS AND SYMPATHYS ARE WITH YOU. i HOPE YOU HEAL QUICKLY SO YOU CAN KICK THAT dENTIST IN THE SHINS THE NEXT TIME YOU GO THERE! sorry, the rats were crawling all over my laptop and must have hit caps lock!

hugs chelle hope its sorted soon

lots of hugs. Sorry you are going through this.

oh Chelle, how awful! What happens to the hole? Does it close up after awhile? Or does the dentist have to do something else?

I'm glad you got some pain meds.

Loving hug, Chelle.
Hope you are soon on the way to recovery.

I'm so sorry to hear that this happened to you. I would make sure to swish with either salt water after eating or if you really want it disinfected, a weak solution of hydrogen peroxide in water. Very weak solution. It should eventually close up by itself but it is as you know already very important to keep the area clean. I swear dentists are sadists.

sorry your feeling so bad, I hope the pain goes away soon. Hugs to you.

Thanks for the support and well wishes, you guys. Yuns are great!! In pain with it this morning which is a constant reminder that it is there and creeps me out all over again. Gross!!

Damn Chelle, what a bummer. I hope it passes quickly for you...def. stick to the soft foods...jello would be good too.

Big Hugs to you.....hang in there sending good thoughts to you...

Sorry you're going thru a hard time. Feel better soon...Hugs. Christine

I hope you feel better real soon, I hate dentist!

Hugs for a good friend
