So I had an enormous filling put in one of my teeth back in January, and it has been causing me pain ever since. My most recent set of xrays showed an abscess growing under the tooth, & after two rounds of two different antibiotics, I was not getting any better. So I had that sucker yanked out today. All I can say is “Ouuuuuch,” and pass the painkillers.

That little tiny black area underneath the root? That’s what has been causing me to wake at all hours of the night!
