An abcessed tooth

Taylor had mentioned a few times that her tooth was hurting her. I didn't think much of it because we had just gone to her dentist a few weeks prior and got all her cavities filled. Until, on Sunday morning she told me that it hurt her to bite down. I decided that we needed to take her back in then, but by Sunday night, she started to get a swollen cheek! I thought, "oh no! An accessed tooth! So I took her in on Monday morning and sure enough, she had an accessed tooth. The dentist gave her laughing gas because that really helps her with her anxiety there and I let her lay on my in the examination chair. I think she ended up getting a partial root canal. She was a trooper though.
