Mmmm.... wonders.

Sticks...so sorry.... I never even asked how the pain is now? Has it eased any? Have the painkillers taken the edge of it for you?

Xrays belong to the practice that took them. The fee you pay is for them taking the xray and making a diagnosis from them. You are entitled to a copy of your xrays, but the practice may charge you - no surprise there, then.

Sticks, hope you soon feel better. Antibiotics can be evil... if you're otherwise healthy your own immune system will probably sort out the infection now the affected tooth is gone and it'll probably be a lot less painful tomorrow. Hope so, anyway.
