OMGoodness. That is the stuff of nightmares. I hope he gets some relief soon. I can't imagine the pain. I would rather have another c-section than have to deal with that.

OMG, that looks so painful. Hope he does have to go back to the hospital and the antibiotics work quickly.

Oh my goodness, poor guy. I hope the antibiotics kick in soon and bring the infection down so he can get the dental work he needs.

IMO,there is NOTHING worse than tooth pain. I cannot even imagine an abcess!! I hope he can get some rest and that you don't have to go back to the hospital.

Omg, I am so sorry.
Prayers and positive thoughts for your dh. That all sounds horrible!
Tooth & gum problems terrify me because it is just a matter of inches away from your brain.
I hope he heals and is pain free very soon.

The picture hurts to look at. Hoping his pain has eased and he is able to get some rest. Take care.

So, so sorry that he is going thru this! I had the same thing with two teeth (the top teeth on either side of my front teeth...don't know what they're called). Only one side of my face blew up, but both sides were accessed. They literally had about six people holding me in the chair when the dentist was trying to numb me to drill a hole for drainage. The worst pain I think I've ever had.
I ended up staying in the hospital for almost a week on IV antibiotics. The dentist was going to do the root canals a week later. About 30 minutes before my appt, they gave me Demerol and phenergan and then hooked me up to the gas in his office. I could still feel it a little when he numbed me then, but it was like it was far away. Hopefully, the dentist can get him something to soften the pain before he does a root canal.

It is nearly impossible to get numb and stay numb with an infection. My root canal was terrible...but wonderful at the same time, because I would have gone through anything to get out of that pain. Good luck to your husband. He looks absolutely miserable.

I know this pain. 1 surgery & 10 days in the hospital & I was as close to death as I could have been. It was awful, beyond words. I lost 50% of hearing in my ear & bear an ugly scar on my neck that they placed a drain in. That was 24 years ago. I still remember it today. It took me about 6 months before I fully recovered. They pulled my tooth, and today I have a bridge there. I still can't go to a dentist without the help of a medication like halcion. I hope all goes well for him & he'll get relief soon. No one deserves this kind of pain.

It's a bit better and draining a tiny bit. But if he lays down to sleep it swells again. We were up every few hours all night to make sure it was ok. So I grocery shopped for soft food for him, I'm eating a quick lunch and I'm headed for a nap too. Hopefully tomorrow we can get into an oral surgeon.

Poor thing - that looks and sounds awful. I had an abcess in my wisdom tooth but had to have 7 days of antibiotics before they could pull it out. That was a very long 7 days.

I literally feel his pain. I have a bad wisdom tooth that I can't get pulled until Thursday.

Thanks for asking.
By this morning it was much less swollen. But between the drainage and the antibiotic getting stuck in his lap and, he was a bit dehydrated. Sport drinks, toast and breaking open the capsuls (bitter!) and he's better tonight. The tooth will get pulled later this week as long as the swelling is gone.
His regular dentist apologized for the on call dentist. He said she would have never even tried working on the tooth and sent him straight to the ED for treatment.
And I will never ever tease DH about the man cold again. This is the guy who won't take pain meds and doesn't cry. But Saturday while the dentist was injecting into the gum he was almost hysterical and screaming. He was hyperventilating and I had to keep telling him to breathe normally because I thought he was going to pass out.

I am glad that it was treated seriously. I had a client DIE from a situation just like that. One day he was in, the next he was gone. So sad.

I'm so sorry this happened to your dh! I just read your update and that was difficult to read. I never want to see my dh like that--I can't even imagine.
I hope the swelling goes down quickly so he can just get the tooth pulled and get on his way toward healing.
