OK, we all need the reminder that I give to my adult children...
You HAVE to go to the dentist. When something goes wrong with a tooth, we can't just wait for it to get better like we do with a bad cold or a stomach virus. It CAN'T heal on it's own. It only gets worse, so the sooner we go to the dentist, the easier it will be to fix.
And that is my "mom" lecture for the day
