Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 , That's scarey. What does she do now when she needs dental work? Was reading that you can be tested by an allergist to see if you have a reaction to medications. Does she react to anything else?

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Maggie, she has multiple drug sensitivities. To many to mention....lots of antibiotics as well as benadryl. I am the same way. lots of bad rections. just sensitive I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Haven't seen this whole thread, but have people heard of KCP (kinetic cavity preparation) or " air abrasion " . It's like using a little sandblaster on your cavity - it doesn't hurt tissue and removes the damaged tooth. I had it done for my last fillings, and it was great, no novocaine or anesthesia necessary. It doesn't work for big cavities, but most regular fillings can be done with it, according to my dentist. The only time they had to use the " real drill " was to remove an excess bit of filling material, no pain from that. Of course, with little or no tissue damage, risk of infection or swelling is minimized.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 I have heard it advertised, but most dentists in our area aren't bothering with it as it is limited as to use and rather costly. I'm glad to hear you had a good outcome with it though. Too bad it can't be used for larger areas. ohgminion wrote: >Haven't seen this whole thread, but have people heard of KCP (kinetic >cavity preparation) or " air abrasion " .
