Question:
I have gone to the dentist and he said there is a wisdom tooth pushing against my tooth which has a bad cavity which might need root canal. I have been on antibotic for a week and now I have a very bad swelling on one side of my face and inside my mouth.

What can I do to get some kind of relief since no one is open to see me on the weekends. When I went to the hostial they would not give me anything to relieve the pain, which was a waste of $300 or more. My own dentist did not even call back to see if the other antibotic was even working. Now I can't eat or hardly talk, since I can't even open my mouth. What can I do to get RELIEF? ...Diane in MI

Answer:
Nobody but a local dentist can help you with this problem. Pick up the Yellow Pages and call around. Prepare to spend at least $300 for any professional to see you on the weekend. You need help, it is up to you to find it. Stay on the antibiotics and put ice on your face.
