Clay started complaining about his tooth on a Friday night, he had a friend over so I thought at first it was an excuse because he was overly tired. As the night progressed on later and later, I realized two things, 1. he was in pain, and 2. he had a good set of lungs... after pain meds, he finally fell to sleep. The next day, we got numbing stuff and temporary filling stuff at Kroger and I hoped I could fill the suspected lost filling and he's pain would subside until Monday.
But here's the thing... there was no lost filing... oh jeez.. it was a cavity I thought, well, he was going to have to wait until Monday with a cavity and brush better. So we had meds on Saturday every 6 hours and went to bed, around 3am Clay came into my room complaining about his mouth and it looked like this....

I kinda freaked a little bit and wondered what to do... gave him meds, and waited for a decent time to call my friend who's brother in law is a dentist. He (the dentist) saw Clay at church 1st thing on Sunday and confirmed it was an abscessed tooth... we started antibiotics and got his tooth pulled out the next day, what a mess...
Apparently when you get a cavity and then a loose tooth, that infection goes into your mouth and causes a lot of pain, it can be serious and go systemic too, scary, scary, scary....
