well i just got back from my appoinment to the Oral surgeons..I did get both of my root canaled/ crowned teeth extracted..One in the bottom and one on the top..BOTH were infected..Now I on Penicillin VK 500 mg tabletsfor the infection...I also had a tooth on the bottom taken out since it had a broken root under the gum..So That is why my teeth hurt..The oral surgeon said now I can go home and rest up and heal, the get my teeth cleaned well and then my partials...I'm very happy now with my dentist who listen to me when I said there was something wrong....
