Worried and Vexed

Gums continued to hurt last night. I took a panadol before I slept. I woke up at 4am as the pain was unbearable and took 2 more panadol extra. But the pain didn't subside.

I went to a dental clinic in bukit gombak. That was the only one I could find which is opened today, and recommended by two friends. The dentist commented that it is quite risky to extract the tooth as the crack is at the gums and there's a possibility that the tooth might break during extraction. He suggested root canal, but there's only a 70% of success rate. If it fails, extraction would be inevitable. Or might even need to cut the gums to extract the roots! Gosh.. :'~

The dentist suggested that I go back to the dental clinic where I did my first root canal. That clinic would be opened on Friday only. Hence I've to wait. This dentist gave me strong painkillers for the time being.

I'm so worried and vexed now. Hope everything would go well for me when I go back to the dentist for consultation again. Sigh...
