hi Stacy,

Thank for asking. My OS felt the keflex wasn't necessary after the 10 course of amox I was on . I still wonder if I should not have taken some clindamycin or penicillin as a added precaution after the initial course of amox since the infection was spread into the jaw.

I hope to start a thread once I'm less scattered brain. Of particular interest to me is new better types of filling materials since the most common type of filling material white composite resin is far from satisfactory . The average life span of this type of filling of a chewing molar tooth is 5-7 years. These types of fillings are the most prone to marginal leakage, which causes cavities under the fillings. This kicks off the cycle of filling, root canal, tooth loss. Silver amalgam fillings fair much better with a average span of 15 + years, though there are some health concerns with silver amalgam fillings, white composite resin fillings are not with out health concerns either since they contain bisphenol a.

Best wishes
