This past weekend though i have a back tooth that has become abcessed. i started antibiotics and pain killers early sunday morning. how long do i need to go to have a dentist pull the tooth? how long does the antibiotics work till the swelling in my jaw goes down? I dont have bad teeth cause i chose too, but it runs in my family, they have rotted from the inside out...i am finally getting it taken care of and this is a HUGE personal moment for me. I dont wanan sound sappy but here lately i have been a emotional wreck cause this is a HUGE deal for me and i am tired of getting made fun of by other ppl. my boyfriend loves me for me and that means the WORLD to me. So if anyone has any suggestions or help please let me know. positive feedback only please!

I am sorry to hear that you have such tooth problems. First of all DO NOT get all of your teeth out. You will be much better served by getting partial dentures and then, in the future, if you have to, get complete dentures. Save a couple of teeth on the top and bottom to hold the partials in place. Believe me, you'll be glad you did.......consider partials to be training wheels! Now, as to the antibiotics....why do you have those sitting around? When you are told to take antibiotics you need to take ALL of them.....sometimes, when patients stop taking their pills, when they think they're well, resistant bacteria are still festering and they come back with a worse and harder to control infection. So essentially, you are playing Russian roulette when you stop early. Now, since you've already taken them call a dentist today and get in ASAP for the extraction. Good luck with your mouth!

First, go promptly to the drug store and get a large bottle of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. Brush and mouth wash about 3 times a day with it. IT IS INCREDIBLY HEALING. And very inexpensive. This will heal the abscess and any gum disease that you have. Constant care is absolutely required with poor teeth.

My family also has poor teeth. But I have used the Hydrogen Peroxide for 40 years and have healthy gums. As for my teeth, I have crowned the ones that were required over the years. I think I have 12 or 13 crowns. But at 66 I have saved all but one.

Before you pull all of your teeth. First use the Peroxide daily to get your gums healed. It relieves pain in just a minute or two. PLEASE DO THIS FIRST. Infection in the gums can run the veins to your heart and cause infection in the heart muscle and tissue around it.

Then find a good dentist that would consult on crowning the poor teeth or making any bridges required. That would be so much better than pulling them all. It would not be cheap, but if you get poor dentures, you will be in no better shape than you are now. Find a good dentist to help you heal and save your teeth.

My Dad Had all of his pulled in a fit of stupidity instead of going to the Dentist each year for care and cleaning and constant care at home. Then he NEVER EVER wore his dentures and was toothless till he died. Not a great thing.

Good Luck, I truly sympathize.

Is your canines suffering as a consequence? Does she have gasoline, indigestion, does she throw up after her food? If no longer, communicate on your vet. it ought to or won't be a topic. I even have one canines who would not chew his food. He does no longer consume overly quickly, he in basic terms never chews it. It would not look to difficulty him in any respect. yet another decision is to feed your canines smaller food extra often throughout the time of the day.
