Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi, Thanks to all of you who kindly responded to me when I was in so much pain with an infected molar. It's been 2 days since the " big pull " and I'm still on 500 mgs of amox 3 times per day, but the pain is receding and I can feel the infection leaving my body. There was, indeed, a lot of infection. I got really lucky with a referral to a very good dentist, who pulled the molar on Friday morning. He was very thorough and gentle and I discovered that his wife is an acupuncturist, so he was of a more natural mindset regarding dentistry. And they were (for Florida) aware of Lyme disease! The good news (other than the relief) is that this clinic was started by a dentist who retired a few years ago due to a disability. Yet, he found a way to start a foundation to open a clinic by using a dentist's office that is closed one day a week and getting dentists to volunteer their time. The fees are very very low, so that folks on disability like me can find a way to keep their teeth in good shape. I'm going back in January for a full exam, cleaning and consultation. I have prayed to find a place like this and here it is! I thought those of you with similar dental issues due to Lyme and the high cost of this disease on our teeth and our pocketbooks would want to know that all turned out well, and that if more dentists started innovative socially conscious clinics like this we'd all be better off. Blessings and Thanks, Hannah Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
