So some of you may have seen my other thread about my accident with Ruger that had been bothering my left side of my bottom jaw. Well it turns out they could fix that. It also turned out I had a couple cavities. 
So here comes the several visits to fix both of those things.
Had my first one last week and absolutely hated life afterwards. My entire face hurt. I slept pretty much the entire day because it hurt when I was awake.
Just getting over that pain, I go to the dentist again today. Same deal, slept for an extra seven hours and now I'm awake again. The Novocaine is wearing off though and my face hurts yet again.
The first equestrian team meet is a week away. So I have to ride a ton before then, but I'm worried that with my jaw/teeth/face hurting so much that it won't be very easy.
Does anyone have any tips on making the pain go away, at least for a little while? I took some ibuprofen which works a little bit but not a whole bunch of difference...
