PUS? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I'd totally go to urgent care or a general pracitioner a family practice guy or
another dentist for a second opinion (last choice) or Mexico ( 3rd choice) and
get antibiotics.Thiss sounds like the stupidest thing I ever heard in my life. I
almost think this post is a joke. Are there really dentists that say this? What
country is this happening in? Are you allergic to everything or something?
PUS? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
AFTER HOW LONG?
I can't even write what I think because we finally have a real dentist on this
list.
I don't want to scare hinm away.
Btw, doc, when pros come to boards, they dont risk their lic., because they just
say stuff in past tense. It amounts to a disclaimer. Like the "vet" will say
what has worked for him in the past. etc. "What he has seen in the past." And we
all us, as "adults" take it from there. YOu ususlaly don't find idiots that put
their babies in microwaves online, really.

After a month, I still see redness of the gum by that tooth,and a pus discharge
every day or 2. There's no pain at all , but noticed a slight numbness on that
whole side of my face for a while today. Hope it's not spreading. My endontist
had me on Cephelexin for a while, and that kept it down. But I've gone through
my last refill. Should I have him write me another prescription ?.Or is this
something that will pass after a while ? My regular dentist who put the crown
on, didn't seem too concerned , said it was normal and would last up to a year.
Now I don't know what to think !! Any over the counter drugs or herbs that might
help ? Thanks for any advice.
