Howz the mouth now CLKD, getting ready for your implant?

I'm off today for oral surgery, you can give some tips on pain management later. This has been a long awaited appt but it's finally here. Now i'll find out if the Arnica helped, so far it's given me terrible heartburn.

I thought that arnica is for rubbing on not swallowing?

Need to re-arrange my appts for next week!  Off to phone up - Good Luck for today!

[Eddie]

CLKD, Thanks, i was told to get both, so i've got the cream/gel to apply to the skin. Eddie. x

[CLKD]

AAAHHHHh ............ how did you get on?

Hi Susan - are you taking them with lots of water - half a pint at least is recommended. I found it made a lot of difference to the nausea side of things. I can't have it any more though as the second time it brought out an allergic reaction in the form of a really itchy rash. That's another antibiotic on the "no" list for me then!

I'm really disappointed, when i got there the girl doing the procedure took me aside and told me it only had a 20% chance of fixing the problem, she said that because the tooth hasn't had root treatment the chances are the infection is coming from what she thought was a very fine fracture to the root, which would naturally be full of infection. So i've been referred back to dentist, then referral to Glasgow dental hospital, which will probably take a few more months. I'm really gutted, wasn't looking forward to it anyway, but just want it fixed.

I had really bad trouble with a tooth for about 5 years, back and forth to dentist, root filling, last year it flared up so much I asked to have it taken out. It took 2 hours and I was in agony even with localized numbing. Since then the tooth next to it has become painful and loose, but I'm so scared to go back.

Jenny i worry this is the road i'm on, i've been told because i never had root treatment it will be full of bacteria, 30 yr old crown roots don't like to be disturbed for root treatment now, both my front crowns have not been treated. Dentist didn't want to remove roots when i wanted a bridge to fix it last year. Don't know really what to think now.

[jenny]

Hi Eddie, I couldn't live with the pain anymore so had tooth removed, I just feel that I've opened another can of worms - so to say. I do need to go back, but really putting it off

[Eddie]

That's how i felt today, just really wanted it sorted, it not as bad just now, but in the winter when i went out it was awful, so as long as it's sorted before that i'll be okay i spose. Although now would be better because of work, i only do one day at present but would like to increase it if it was offered.

Hi Susan - I see that, before, you were taking metronizadole (sp?) and I wondered what type of abscess you have? The metro antibiotic is used for anaerobic bacteria and amoxycillin doesn't touch these sorts of infections. Well, that's what my dentist told me when I had a gum abscess and she was proved right!

[Taz2]

Sounds difficult Susan. Mine was in the gum and these type are anaerobic so need the metro so that they are starved of oxygen. I had to have a two week course of metro for it to work.

An implant is optional!

[CLKD]

Similar problem to my gob then 

[CLKD]

Because a dentist won't consider extraction if there is any infection as it can carry round the body.  You have my sympthaty, you're where I was 3 weeks ago and I thought I would never be pain-free.  My next appt is 10 mins on Monday morning and again on Thursday for another 2 hours
