Hi Bryanna,
I should have psoted an update earlier but all was going well. Now I have some concerns. The amox course that I took after the clindamycin post extarction and grafting finally seemed to clear up the infection and the site seemed to be healing normally after that. After my 4 month followup though I started to get some sensations in the area of the missing tooth which were a bit troubling. At the time the perio said the x-rays looked like things were filling normally. Today I just had my 7 month follow up and it doesn't seem like things are progressing. Dentist told me normal wait time for implant post bone graft is 4-6 months so I am already past that point. I know I lost a good chunk of graft material post-op with the infection causing it to ooze out, but because of the sensitivity I sometimes feel in the area I am convinced the infection is still present.
He also told me today that after 10 months the bone graft will be as good as it's going to get. Didn't have a chacne at the time to ask all the questions I wanted so hoping you ahve a second opinion.
1. If the area is still infected (even though no obvious outward signs) will taking MORE antibiotics fix this or is it unlikely? I already took 2 back to back courses post-extraction which should have done the job
2. If the bine density isn't sufficeinet in 10 months time what are my options then?

Will call dentist with these questions too but always nice to get more opinions!
