Dear Bryanna,
I live in a very small country and I took a look at the site you sent to me and my country is not on the list. I think that holistic dentistry is not practised here in this little country. I just want to add a little thing: please help.
1. My implantolist he did some drilling I think, he said there was an infection outside the bone, "a pool of inflammation" !!!!! not osteomielities before putting the implant he said. He is supposed to be the best in my country (what do I know) My question is, if I take for example a course of clindamycin, would the symptoms get a little better with antibiotics if there is an ongoing infection? I just need some answers, there is no one here in my country to help me with this the way I need. I know that antibiotics will not cure anything by now but would help me to find out what is wrong?
2. The original pain was were the upper lateral tooth was, in the bone above the tooth. When I got the implant the pain moved to the bone graft side, it moved maybe 1/2 cm or 1 cm to the right.
Should I let another implantolist look at this an maybe take the implant away and the bone graft and get a bridge, what about my bone then and the pain?
3. To know if there is an ongoing infection on the implant side, would someone have to take a biopsy, would they have to move the implant to do it, is it a big procedure?
4. Will I always have a problem with this implant because the bone was bad and I got a bone graft? Why not take it away?
I feel so alone, this is horrible.
5. One more, I suddenly started to get pain in tooth number 5 , upper 2nd molar, on the same side as the implant is. This is an old root canaled tooth with a crown, it is totally black, the tooth itself, the crown is white ofcourse. I started to get pain in this tooth yesterday, have never felt anything in it, could it be the reason, referring pain to the implant side and lower lateral front tooth? Followed by this pain I suddenly felt very bad taste in my mouth ? Why now feeling this tooth, why not 5 years ago, if it is infected, maybe with necrosis? Today I feel no pain, just on the bone graft side and the horrible taste is gone? What is going on?
Please Please just try to help me, I have not got a pain clinics to go to or holistic dentist, I would have to travel to another country to meet someone.
Thank you and my best regards.

You could have a problem going on at the site of the bone graft where a root canaled tooth use to be. Especially if the site was not thoroughly debrided when the tooth was removed. I mentioned this is my last post to you.
I know this is a very difficult thing to be going through. You need a dentist who will be truthful with you and not hesitate to give you the information that I am giving you. I have known many dental patients to be at their wits end with their dental problems and wind up on all sorts of nerve blocking medications when in fact it was a dental problem all along.
Have you looked in to possibly seeking a dentist who participates in the IAOMT organization? I cannot vouch for every member but generally these dentists/doctors are educated beyond their initial schooling and they understand the risks with root canaled teeth. Here is there website... IAOMT.org
