Hi Bryanna and ginnie,

Thank you both for your posts and concern.

Needless to say, it is a scarey situation to have an infection that could be spreading throughout your body. I certainly don't need that with already having MS and the symptoms I incur with that on a daily basis.

Here's another question for you. If I do have infection that has spread elsewhere, how long would it take to rid the body of this infection once the teeth are out?

I already feel my sinuses being affected, most likely from tooth #3, and if on the proper antibiotic, would that clear up in time?

Also, when #3 is pulled, would that trigger further release of infection up into the sinuses or head? Should I be on an antibiotic a while before it's pulled?

I have been on amoxicillian for about a month and just recently went off of it.

Any questions I should specifically ask the oral surgeon when I get an app. with him? What concerns should I bring up? I don't think I'll have any problems with tooth 31, but I don't know.

Again, thank you for your time and knowledge of all of this!
