First molar, bottom left. I can't remember whether the tooth the dentist did was the 3rd premolar or 1st molar. The reason it matters is that I can feel a tiny hole at the top of the molar. If it's the same tooth he did, no biggie: it's a hole in a temporary crown, and my tooth still hurts from being ground down to a stump. If it's not, that's a cavity, and could be the reason for the pain. I'm ringing the dentist tomorrow. If I take any more Advil I'll probably damage my liver. OK, that's Tylenol/paracetamol, but I'm sure ibuprofen does something nasty too. (Interesting side note: Most people who knock their livers out through intentional Tylenol overdoses survive, because it's sudden failure. People who damage it through taking too much Tylenol for too long are more likely to die, because they don't notice anything's wrong until it's too late.) Also, I've built up a major tolerance to ibuprofen thanks to all my dental work and migraines. It now takes 3 200mg tablets to have any effect.

Oh... heh heh.. just saw a warning label on one of my pill bottles: "If taking NSAIDs and this drug there may be a risk of stomach bleeding." I've just googled: ibuprofen is, as I thought, an NSAID. Oh well ;-)
