One side left (or right)

[Double damn]

Well, that’s just great. I start work on Wednesday(!) but it suddenly feels like a molar on the left side has to come out because it hurts anytime I put pressure on it which means exclusive food chewing on the right…which I can do for the time being but Tuesday is my only possible day to go to the dentist (assuming he can see me on this short of notice).

I really hope that A) it miraculously goes away somehow in the next hour or B) I get an appointment and the dentist tells me it’s nothing (also since I won’t have dental insurance with this job for another 3 months) or at very worst C) He sees me today and does a small procedure which doesn’t take long and is inexpensive. Worst case scenario D) he has to do a procedure but can’t do it today which means that i’ll somehow have to find time in the next week despite a “no time off” rule for new workers for the first 3 months of “training.”

I wonder if this is related to the wisdom teeth surgery of a month or so back. I hope not. Or with my night-time teethgrinding habits. Yes, i’m a TMJer.
