Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Hi connie, I'm glad you are doing so great.How will your dentist know if the infection is gone? Does he have a digital X-ray? I'm still doing good , also. Am on the Clindamycin 300mg every 6 hours. I have to remember to always take it with food or 8 oz. of water to prevent irritation of the esophagus. It's hard to drink 8 oz. of water at 5AM. Had my tooth out last Thursday & am still getting a few hives daily but they disappear after I take my Allegra 180 at 8am.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Great news Connie!!!!! So once the infected tooth is extracted, what are they going to do to restore a tooth to that area? I have my apicoectomy (sp?) scheduled for June 5th - a day of infamy!!! Although there is no sign of infection on the digital x-ray, the endodontist said there is some reaction in the gum he does not like. If this doesn't work and the pain doesn't subside, it may have to be extracted. I am wondering what they will replace it with and what your dentist has offered you. in Pa. > >Reply-To: urticaria >To: urticaria >Subject: tooth update >Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 03:04:08 -0600 > >Hi to all! >I just wanted to update you on my tooth situation.
