Apicoectomy

I went to Dr. Andrew Johnson's office in Covington for an appointment last week and today he took the cyst/infection out. It took only like 30 minutes for him to do that and I was loopy the whole time. Right now I don't feel any pain at all and hopefully the problem with my ears will start to go away along with the removal of the infection on my tooth.

They gave me 3 kinds of medications; steroids, antibiotics and pain killers.

The doctor decided not to do the bone graft and it costs us $275 for the surgery. The insurance covers 80% of the rest.
