Note from Mom: Don't wait too long to have it checked out. When they abscess the pain is horrible, and the dentist can't extract it until the abscess clears up. I woke up with it hurting in the very early hours on Saturday morning, of course dentist was closed on Saturdays. I left a message at his home, and thankfully he came home about 8 p.m. and called a prescription in for an antibiotic and pain pills for me. Took a 70-mile round-trip to get the prescriptions filled since all the pharmacies in our little town are closed after 6 p.m.
