wrong with a tooth he filled when it really needed a root canal. Without going into the horrible details, I needed some pain pills to keep me from rolling on the floor screaming until they could send me to a specialist. Without them, there is no way I could have eaten or slept. My dentist knows me and could see how bad the pain was, so he wrote a rx for 20 hydrocodone/acetaminophen tablets. They made me feel like a criminal when I went to the pharmacy to fill the rx. The ridiculous thing is, I have stomach issues and hated taking the pain meds because they upset my stomach. Not like I was having a damn party with them. Sorry to rant, but I was so annoyed.It really wasn't the doctor/dentist with the strange attitude, it was the pharmacy person.
