The return of the ManChin?
Ug.
So when I was in Paris, I ended up having to get dental surgery because I had developed some kind of crazy tumor underneath one of my teeth. It developed suddenly one day and over the course of a week ended up hurting intensely.
Yesterday I noticed that there's this spot in my mouth that hurts a lot. How much it hurts sort of comes and goes. I was worried abut it in the morning, but then stopped thinking about it until last night after I'd come home from class and had something to eat. Then it suddenly started to hurt much more. This morning I woke up with it hurting less but generally being more tender. Like, moving my mouth around in some expressions makes it hurt.
Last time it felt like there was something stuck under my tooth. The thing they removed was putting a lot of pressure on my tooth and before I saw a dentist I really just had this crazy urge to try to pull the cap off or something to make it hurt less. It doesn't hurt like that this time. It feels closer to the surface. I can touch my face in the spot where it hurts in my mouth; it is a little like touching a bruise or something.
Anyway, I'm worried about this. I'm reluctant to go see someone because I don't have a regular dentist and I don't think that my "insurance" through my school covers dental. I'll probably try to stick it out over the weekend and see about going to see someone on Monday. Does anyone have a dentist recommendation for me? I'm pretty sure there's one near my apartment, but it would be nice to go somewhere that is more of a known quantity.
