I don't know if I've ever talked about this on the website, but I have the tendency to be more susceptible to infections than one person should be. I would have large cysts and bubbles every once in a while on my legs and arms, and I am a carrier of MRSA. Once, I even had my ear puff out to the size of a golf-ball. But, ladies and gentleman, it would appear that I've outdone myself this time, ... I had a crown put on my tooth a couple of months ago, and the dentists that put it on there evidently botched the procedure. It became infected. Afterward, they refused to take responsibility for it. They admitted that whoever did it 'messed up,' but they said that they weren't the dentists that did it. (I've only seen one dentist in my life, so we're looking to take legal action against them.)

My mouth has swelled up a lot, and now, I can't even open my right-eye. I am on a lot of different medications, and we're trying to get the swelling down, but so far, it has been to little success. :(
 
I'm sorry you're going through this Nicholas. Sounds very painful and I hope the meds kick in soon and you get some relief.
 
The swelling has went down some, but not a lot. The doctors gave me an I.V. and all that, and the hope is it'll be better for when I have the tooth removed on Thursday.
 
Wow I can just imagine how painful this must be, good luck with the treatment
 
Yikes! I hope things work out for you.

A crown and all the work leading up to it can be expensive, not to mention all the medications and restorative work you need done as a result of the botched procedure, throw in Pain & Suffering, and I think you definitely and peruse legal action.

Hope it all goes well and the recovery goes well too.
