Hi Honey:
Get it taken out and now…The first problem is that you will build up a resistance to the antibiotic…If this happens and the infection spread up either under your eye or down to your jaw, you are in real trouble…It must come out….
About ten years ago I had a root canal done…A couple years after I had it done it started to bother me…I checked with the dentist…They did x-rays, but found no infection….About three years ago it just about send me in circles..Just plain throbbing pain…This was my lower jaw, first molar back…When I went in they again took x-rays…Because of my pain they decided to open it back up….When they opened this tooth they found that an infection had set in and eaten into my jaw….The smell that came out was just terrible…I spent over an hour in the chair while they cleaned out my jaw and took the remainder of the tooth out…They wanted to put in stitches but couldn’t…It had to heal open…Eaten too far in to stitch….Took me nearly five months to grow skin back to completely cover over that part of my inner lower jaw…Spent a couple of months on antibiotics….Oh, and may I add that your mouth is the dirtiest part of your body….I was so sore I could not close my mouth for three days…For three nights I did not sleep but laid and moaned in bed….Right now when I put my tongue where it was there is a cavern….This was not my fault but was the fault of the dentist yet he could not see inside of the shadow where it was developing…
Reading what I have written, I hope it awakens you to what could happen to you…..I would not wish it on my enemy…..I was awake all the time as they thought it was going to be simple……
Much love,
Caroline
P.S. I have developed a sympathy tooth ache just writing this…..
