Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Geeeeez Heidi!! I just read about your miserable tooth pain! You remember that my Dad was a dentist & I worked as his assistant for 8 years? I have had only one tooth abscess on me & remember the pain vividly. My Dad wanted to save it but I begged him to pull it out. To answer your question....absolutely you need to be on antibiotics at least 2 days prior to the surgery!!! What you describe sounds exactly right to me. The taste & slight discharge is suggestive of infection, the movement of the tooth is also susggestive of infection & swelling as you suspect. Be aggressive...you know what is best for you...the docs need to listen to you. You're not some uninformed person who is totally cluelsess. Especially with your other health problems, that infection needs to be calmed down before they start doing anything.
