You pore bastage. BTW... regarding this:
"I don’t know why this one got infected so bad because I’m keen on keeping it clean , a la hydrogen peroxide rinses , clove oil , etc."
Whut hoppen wuz this: The dirty little boogers that ate the soft inside "food" of your tooth followed the bloodstream down into your jaw. There, they found a great, big warehouse chock full of really good food. And there was no more of that sorta slightly-annoying peroxide and clove oil way down in there.
They were throwing a riotous party when the Fire Department (amoxycillin) showed up and began hosing down the place. Many partygoers died right off, but some hardliners are currently still holed up, trying to keep the door from being beaten down by the Fire Dept.
They are losing. But if it is gonna be four days until that door is well and truly down, and that whole group of invaders are wiped out... that means they were damn' well entrenched.
Close call. I am so fargin happy about this. Thank you for doing the right thing.
