#I don't think it's a tooth extraction because the pain isn't unbearable but it will be if I don't get it checked out!

This tooth pain I’ve had for the past two weeks keeps coming back and it keeps getting worse and worse and I know I need to see a dentist, but I’m afraid they’re gonna have to pull another tooth and I genuinely cannot take off of work unless I take a COVID leave of absence which would just make me feel shitty and feel like I’m taking advantage of the system they have in place at my work because it’s not COVID related, but also if it ends up with me needing to get a tooth pulled, at least I’d be home those days recovering from it... I simply do not know what to do and I’m about to uh, lose it. 

#personal #Propped up on one actual painkiller right now and THREE ibuprofen. #Also I can't take the heat and the absolutely shit I would get from my mom and her boyfriend for taking off of work. #Also my mom's boyfriend would give me HELL if I told him I had tooth pain because he takes care of his tooth tremendously well. #*teeth #Yeah.... Yeah... I am worried what other people would think of me sadly. #Also the work thing... I genuinely cannot miss another day of work without getting in trouble for the next like month... #So I uh... don't know what to do. #I don't think it's a tooth extraction because the pain isn't unbearable but it will be if I don't get it checked out! #Ask to tag if you need anything. Sorry! #Also sorry for all the personal posts I've been writing today!
