btw, i am not a doc but with my experience, if it was hurting and swelling too and went away with antiobiotic means you had infection. if it's not bothering much then you have soem time to sign up for an insurance plan. why do you think they wont' cover? i think you'll be covered. i had a wisdome tooth for years cuz it wasn't bothering me, finally took it out 2 weeks ago.
