Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 Try and see if you can get a antiboitic to take before you go to the Dentist. That way you should be ok and not get a flare. I do that all the time. Carol Applin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 Squeek, You take care. A toothache is SO painful and it always happens on a weekend. Carol is right, start on an antibiotic if you can... it won't help the pain, but will help infection. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hello there, and welcome to this group! Sorry to hear you are having so much pain. Is the infection the cause of your pain? What is your Surgeon doing to help you through all this? It sounds like you have very little numbness, so maybe the pain is the trade-off. I'm pre-op for upper and lower surgery to correct my underbite, and won't be having my procedures until next June. I don't have any words of wisdom for you, except to continue to let your Surgeon know what's going on. Apparently the recovery gets better; just try to hang in there. ~~ Diane (Idaho) > > Hi, I am new to this group. I had my surgery on Sept. 28th and it has > been a rough ride so far.
