Solve the mystery, because I am dying.

I went to the dentist on Tuesday. They took lots of X-rays and did an exam. They said my teeth look great, but that I need to start flossing. No cavities, nothing of concern. They scheduled me for a cleaning.

Fast forward. Thursday (yesterday) I wake up with a toothache. It progressively gets worse. By 5pm I am in debilitating pain. Literally the worst pain of my life. Crying. The only thing that helps relieve the pain is drinking cold water. I go to Walgreens to get some Orajel, and I almost black out because the pain got so bad that I started sweating profusely and seeing spots.

I call the dentist. They tell me they could see me but it would be a waste of my money because my X-rays and exam were great. They tell me to take ibuprofen and Tylenol and use a salt water rinse.

Today is the same. At 5:30 I wake up with a toothache. I have to drink cold water every 3-7 minutes to relieve the pain because it’s unbearable. At 8pm the pain went away again. I can only assume it will return tomorrow though.

Thoughts? This is literally the worst pain of my life. Even compared to labor. 😭😩

My husband is out of town and I have a toddler and an infant. I am dying here.
