Bryanna,

So far so good.
Makes perfect sense about the salt water rinses and probiotics, once you explained it thank you. I will give the probiotics a try.

Best wishes

hi Bryanna and fellow board members,

Sorry I’ve been away had to do some damage control since I let this whole issue set me back more then necessary.

Update and summary

Had tooth number 19 pulled on 7/5/13
Decay under filling which spread to the jaw. Small pea sized lump on outer jaw line. 7 days on amoxicillin before extraction and 7 more days after.

Pea sized lump gone only symptom was two very small bone fragments a month later, which are gone now.

Follow up x-ray taken 40 days after extraction (should have waited longer to see more definitive progress in the pan xray). OS says it’s resolved and in his opinion has not worsened.

I checked and rechecked for any of the symptoms or signs you mentioned, nothing unusual to be found.

I’m reposting both the x-rays with the contrast bumped up. Of course it probably would be ideal to have a current x-ray but funds are tight at the moment and it seems if there were any problems they would have been made apparent by now.

Is that just wishful thinking?

Wishing everyone health and happiness in the New Year

J

Hi youngatart,

Based on the comparison of these two x-rays which are dated about a month apart .... the jaw bone appears to be in a similar condition in both x-rays..... just minus the tooth in the later one.

Without question, I think another x-ray of this area should be taken 6 months from the original one.
