Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

No, I would switch.
When I had really bad swelling like that, I had a couple of antibiotics but also a steroid of some sort to get it to go down. I would definitely want to try more on that front before pulling.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I'm 42 and there are no answers. just more body creaks.
Perhaps the answer's in the creaks somehow? If you could just find a way to play them backwards like a heavy metal record maybe?
Happy Birfday!
Fank you!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph, I validate you and agree with the previous people that you ought to follow your gut instinct here. And switching dentists mid-procedure shouldn't be a problem; it's a root canal, not a mind-meld!
I got the answer, but we're not supposed to tell. Sorry.
Epic, I sympathize. Every year I say I don't care about my birthday, and then when it comes I'm all, why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit?
(I mistyped "validate" and "validfate". Almost kept it.)

Happy birthday, Epic! I got to 42 and was told to rephrase the question.
If an antibiotic isn't showing any improvement now, it's not going to magically show improvement in 10 days. I think a second opinion is always in order and well worth it in the case of a tooth.

Happy birthday, O Most Epic of Tangents!
Teppy, go with your gut on this one. A second opinion is never the wrong thing to do. If it turns out to contain the same information, well at least you will spend less time wondering What If.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm going to validate you too, Tep. Seems like there should be another couple options before you pull that tooth, and the fact that your dentist is so unresponsive to that (or my more cynical self says, is interested in making good money with an expensive tooth implant later) means you get a second opinion.

At what point does a car alarm become a nuisance? There is one car in the parking lot next door that keeps going off. While I was bringing laundry in off the line, it went off three times, and twice more within ten minutes of me coming indoors. I can speak for the times I was outside that no human was near it, and no squirrels or birds were on the two sides I had clear visual contact with. I think it is the one that goes off frequently while I am eating breakfast, and may be the one that goes off repeatedly in the evenings.

Steph, I'd go to Tim's dentist for a second opinion at the very least.

Anyway, 41 today - only one more year till I finally have the Answer!
Happy Birthday!
Le Nubian is right though. I am 10 months into 42 and the answer is elusive.
