Woke up yesterday morning with the entire right side of my face swollen. I look like I'm trying to shoplift a bag of cotton balls with my face. So I'm hoping to score some antibiotics until I can get to the dentist on Tuesday.
No point to this post, except to amuse you with my pain. And because I'm bored. I'll take whatever hair pets you offer, too.

Back home now. Moral of the story: aggressive flossing is a bad idea. Apparently I cut my gum while flossing and wound up getting an infection from the wound. Derp.

For serious!? I always get yelled at by my dentist for aggressive brushing. I'm a flossing nazi too. That's craziness.
Omg. I was tossing and turning last night and had what felt like a weird toothache. I wasn't sure if I was grinding my teeth or slept wrong or something...I woke up and the whole left side of my face is sore, inside my mouth. Feels like it's my upper gums. It doesn't look as swollen as you were in your pic but that is how it feels! Immediately thought of this thread...

No dentist visit unless the swelling doesn't go away within 5 days. Today is day 3, and the swelling is down but not gone yet. However, I'm substantially more comfortable than I was on Sunday, so that's a plus. LOL
