Ahhh good to know... so I will give it a few days and see if the pain goes away on its own. No gum chewing and I will put a warm compress on my face tonight when I get out of work for a bit also. If that does not help it go away then I'll have to see my doctor.
Wanna know the kicker????? I have no teeth problems, I am a dental hygiene freak and floss and brush multiple times a day. I am 32 and never even had a cavity, so this year to make up some of the cost of my pay cut (due to the economy) I canceled my dental insurance for the year. So I have NO dental insurance right now. Hows that for a kicker? Figured with my clean dental history I could go a year without insurance. HAHAHA
