It's interesting what some have written about waiting. I woke up one morning in terrible pain. Next day was ok. Day after that same thing happend. I walked out to get some aspirin, and split my head open on the wall in the hall. Went to a dentist later, found out two teeth were infected, then took my cat to a vet and found he had two weeks to live. How was that for a morning!
But i was so scared of the operation i waited several more days. I was in such pain, i'd drink hot tea, and then drink something ice cold, anything to numb the pain. That's why when i had the root canals, they were a lot better than the pain, though i laid there praying through the whole thing. An endodontist did the root canals, a regular doctor the crowns. I had had a deep cavity in one of teeth years earlier, and the tooth never felt quite right. But not to the point that i thought something was wrong. So eventually it got infected, then infected the tooth next to it.
