Severe Toothache

Saturday, October 01, 2005

For the past three days, I had been enduring a severe toothache and had been self-medicating with Mefenamic Acid and Amoxicillin Trihydrate, both 500 mg. I saved PhP 500 for dental consultation.

Madam Olie told me last week that my friend/family dentist, Dr. Herminia "Meng" Chavez and her family migrated in Canada last year and I felt so lost whose dentist to consult with. For over twenty years, Meng was the only one who treated my dental problems. She's actually my best friend until I parted ways with my EX in 1997. EX had been referring lots of patients to her (after I separated from him) and I then stopped contacting her when I was under seclusion. We called each other once or twice a year and if I will recall, the last time I had my dental treatment was in 2000?

I googled for possible solution to my tooth problem and I realised I really have to see a dentist. I might have abcess and need root canal treatment which might cause me lots of money. It's not easy when you have these dental crowns and tooth bridges.

My current situation prevented me from doing my usual aerobic workout. Who in this world can jump and kick while suffering from severe toothache?
