and even when I take advil and it no longer hurts, the tooth in question is sensitive to any pressure, such as chewing

and I'm pretty sure it's right where the dentist said there's a major infection that he couldn't treat himself, but would need to go to a specialist

Some dental places have specialists that will come in to see you there, others do referrals, but they'll be able to help you with getting the information you need.

Ooh yeah that's not covered. But like mine did pills too. That you take at home before you go and then you just zone out the whole session. And those were like 10 dollars

I wish it was covered, valar I wish it was. but. I know I've got a good dentist now, the one I found this year is the best I've been to. it still freaks me the fuck out tho

And I know that a good dentist isn't going to refer me to someone horrible, but irrational fear is irrational and doesn't listen to reason

Yeah, no, that makes perfect sense. Having a good dentist doesn't make a phobia go away.

Would it help if you got your husband to call and set up the appointment? So you don't have to do that part yourself?
