She also said a fistula would be above the tooth...this is very high up.

Xrays came back OK. No darkness, the roots looked good. The dentist examined me and asked if I had sinus problems, a recent cold, allergies...I do/did not. He said this does not seem like it is coming from my teeth. He said an abcess would have been more painful when he touched my tooth & gum. SO he put me on Clindamycin for a week and I return next Friday. He also said he wondered whether RC tools could be used as my opening is so limited. I said I do not want a RC, I would rather have it extracted.

He advised me to take a probiotic w/ the clinda. He was very nice as was the dental assistant. She though it was coming from my sinus as well.

I am very disappointed in my previous dentist.....after 10 yrs of going there and refrring other people...he did not even call me back when I called about the fistula.

Should I see an ENT? AS long as it is not my tooth or jaw, I am not as concerned....I do not know why.

Thanks! Any homeopathic thing to take? It only hurts if I press on it.
