i went to the dentist and was told i needed a root canal. when the dentist drilled the older filling out, he found copious amounts of blood and pus. he said i had an abcess. he proceeded to give me the root canal, put a temp filling in, and gave me a script for antibiotics and percocets. next day i was in severe pain. he closes at 12:00 p.m. on fridays and doesn't have a way to get in touch for emergencies. i became bedridden saturday and part of today. i still feel ill. the pain has pretty much left the teeth, but the "halo" headache continues. percocet does nothing for the headache. i haven't missed a dose of amoxicillin. what should i do? i've never had so much pain from a simple dental procedure. the original pain came after a filling was put on the side of the tooth at the gumline. he gave me 2 desensitizers a week apart. that's why the root canal. am i gonna be ok?
