My fucking jaw hurts like fuck!
My gum was swollen and had been for a couple of days, now, so I finally went to see my dentist. Turns out I have an infection below a tooth. A bad one, too--there was some really yucky stuff there that lifted the whole damned thing up from its base. My dentist said that I was lucky to come in so soon cos the infection would probably have made me very sick in a matter of days.
He drained it and gave me antibiotics.
