I did get looked at, though! I was told not to come back unless it gets "substantially worse." It hasn't worsened since this morning, but I would have expected the swelling to lessen.

I do want to go back in, the little study I was reading concerned me somewhat, since apparently being over a joint or tendon is an especially bad place to get bit, and the tooth went in RIGHT beside the joint in my finger. That and the fact that my hand and finger is still swollen, red and painful.
