And yes it hurts a lot but I started AB's the day before yesterday and it has improved a bit, but i need to keep taking Panadol to make it bareable

My dentist said that next week they will open it up and pack it with an antibiotic for the remainder of my pregnancy and probably about 10 months, then after that I have the option of...

1. remove the tooth, about $140, OOP not a lot (which I would then have to replace as it would look horrible!) and OOP would be pretty big I think!!
2. root canal, probably 2-3 treatments leaving me $300 OOP

What is peeving me off, it only happened as I had a cavity, but it wasn't to the nerve, so he drilled it all out and filled it and a tiny bit of bacteria must have remained and over the path 8-9 months it developed into an abscess Why didn't I just leave it alone!!! I was in no pain before hand

wondering if I should get a second opinion..
