Oh my aching tooth

For the last couple of weeks my tooth has been killing me.  I tried to look in the mirror to see a problem, but of course it's my very last tooth on the top so looking is impossible.  I can feel a crack on the outside though.  Sometimes it hurts so bad, that it keeps me awake at night, and then I get an earache and a headache.  I finally made an appointment last night.  Side note.... How do parents go to appointments with their children.  I know Jake would be in everything and probably have a major meltdown and be a pain.  All my appointments have to be after 4 so Dan can watch him.  

I found out that my tooth has a huge cavity but it's not caved in.  It's hallowed out.  It looked pretty gross on the x-Ray.  They are trying to stay away from a root canal, so I go back in a couple of weeks and get it filled.  Hopefully it won't hurt as bad.  The dentist told me that sugar aggravates it and cause more pain, so I have to stay away from any sugar.  Problem is, I've been having a major upset stomach and jolly ranchers seem to calm it.  Jake and I are going to the grocery store today to find me more snacks.
