Thank you for asking but I feel bad. I will stop the AB cause it seams there is no use. Pressure in face comes and goes, but good is that there is no pain in the extraction sites. Fever also still comes and goes during the day.I also have some other health issues so I do not know what is what. I have some b12 deficiency for which no one cares so I must start to fight for my health.
I have an appointment for xrays for tomorrow in some new dental clinic. Do you think is good to take full mouth xray.

Marija,

Unless you are having a reaction to the antibiotics, do not stop them abruptly. Antibiotics are only suppose to be used if absolutely necessary as they can cause serious intestinal problems. However, if you stop the prescription before finishing it, you also run the risk of getting an infection because your immune system has been altered to accommodate the effectiveness of the antibiotics and it can be detrimental to your health to interrupt that cycle. Your immune system actually becomes weakened by the antibiotics as these meds kill off the good bacteria in your gut. It is imperative to our health to have an abundance of good bacteria in our gut. This is why it is necessary to supplement with probiotics every single day during the prescription and indefinitely afterwards as you need to replace the good bacteria that is being killed off by the meds.

Your B vitamin deficiency indicates that you have an immune problem and faulty digestion. This needs to be corrected and it will need more than just taking a vitamin supplement. Could you consult with a nutritionist? Believe it or not, getting your intestinal health better will make your health better overall.

Yes, please get a full mouth series of xrays and have them email you a copy of them. If you can, please post them here.

Brayanna,
I've just came from the dental clinic and am going to attach xray. I apreciate all your help.
Thanks

Hi Marija,

Okay, thanks for posting your panorex. Did the dentist take a full mouth series of separate xrays as well as this? Some dentists will automatically do that because this type of xray does not give as close up of a shot of the anatomy of the teeth as the separate ones do. This xray is okay for details about certain areas of the teeth, the bone, the sinus, etc. But the smaller xrays zoom in on the problem areas better.

I will look at the xray and tell you what I see. Keep in mind that a closer view with those small xrays may give a clearer picture of some of these areas. But I will tell you what I see here.

The xray is marked with an R for the right side and an L for the left side. To follow along correctly, when you hold up the xray, the R will be on your LEFT and the L will be on your right. Okay.

Starting with the side marked with the R for your UPPER Right side continuing over to your UPPER Left side:

#1 is a wisdom tooth that you are not using to chew with and it appears to have a cyst around the root structure.

#2 is your second molar it appears to have severe recession and bone loss, deep pocketing and possible decay

#3 a molar and 4 a pre molar are removed

#5 is a pre molar with a possible fractured root and pathology (infection) in the bone.

#6 is your canine it is not diagnostic on this xray.

#7 a lateral, #8 a central, #9 a central, #10 a lateral are removed.

#11 is a canine possible decay and is really not diagnostic on this xray.

#12 is a pre molar possible decay and pathology in the bone, not real clear on this xray

#13 pre molar previously root canaled is removed.

The last molar on the upper left is either #14 or 15, one of them along with #16 has been removed. The remaining molar there has a lot of recession and possibly deep pocketing.

On the lower jaw starting with the R for your LOWER Right side and continuing over to you L for the LOWER left side:

#32 wisdom tooth is removed.

#31 second molar has decay

#30 first molar is root canaled, has decay and cystic activity in the bone.

#29 pre molar looks okay

#28 pre molar looks okay

#27 canine appears to have decay on the root surface way below the gum line.

#26 lateral okay

#25 central okay

#24 central okay

#23 lateral okay

#22 canine possible decay

#21 pre molar okay

#20 pre molar okay

You are missing a molar in that quadrant and I think your other two molars have shifted forward. So lets say #19 the first molar is the one that was removed.

#18 second molar decay

#17 wisdom tooth decay.

Regarding the bone areas in the upper front where teeth # 7,8,9,10 have been removed. There is a void in the bone in the area of 7 and 8. I'm not certain but there may also be a piece of root still in the area of #7. This needs to be evaluated. In the areas of 9 and 10 that bone looks like recent extractions.

In the area of #13 your upper left premolar that was removed that bone has not filled in completely. How long ago was that removed?

How does this list compare to your dentists findings?

Bryanna

Thank you,
I am shocked. I went to some private clinic for this xray. This is a new place for me. The dentist said everything is ok. I complained on some facial pain and my concerns about health of the bone after the front teeth extraction ( 2 several years ago and 2 just recently). He says everything looks ok. That is all he said.

Just to add that this is the only xray I've done today. I didn't know what else to ask for.

Marija,

You have some dental problems, everything is not okay... I'm sorry :(

The small xrays that are used to take a full mouth series of xrays are called periapical and bitewing xrays. Not just bitewings as some offices due. There are about 18-20 small xrays in one full mouth series. They zoom in on the individual teeth and can detect decay much better than this panoramic view.

I feel so bad that you keep getting jerked around by these dentists. Please don't stop here, you need to be evaluated better.

Bryanna

Hello,
I know that everything is not ok but I am not so good financially and I barely afforded my partial dentures for six upper teeth. What I can do from now on to start fixing one by one whit rc tooth being the first. Dental work is not covered with insurance here where I live, only extractions. If I extract my lower rc tooth will this affect much my partial? I just got that partial and I cannot change it now.
I keep changing the dentist and I feel paranoid and stupid because every one of them saying that everything is ok.
My daughter has 3 mercury filled teeth. Is it better to leave it like this than change something. I ask because here, all the dentist are the same and I highly doubt that anyone knows how to safely remove them. So maybe better to stay like that then to be even worse with mercury exposure.
Also when can I start oil pulling after the extraction?
Thank you

Marija

Marija,

Please don't feel stupid. The fact that every dentist you have seen has not properly informed you of your dental problems is certainly not your fault. You are trusting them to be honest with you.

I am not saying this is your particular case, but sometimes a patient gives the impression that they do not want to know the extent of the problems and they just want to deal with one particular area. When that is the case, more times than not the dentist will not inform the patient of all their problems. Sometimes people are not even aware they are giving the impression that they don't want to know everything. Could it be that you were so focused on the upper front teeth that you gave that impression? Even if that were the case, the dentist is legally suppose to tell you of their findings.

To remove the lower molar will not interfere with the upper partial.

Regarding your daughters mercury fillings..... do not remove them unless she can go to a dentist who follows the proper removal protocol. Not using the protocol is dangerous and whether immediate or not, the patient can become very ill.

Are you in the US? If not what country?

Bryanna

Hello,
Thanks for explanations. I live in a small country in Europe. I will leave my daughters fillings how they are for now. I would like to ask how to remove my last rc tooth which has mercury felling, in lower jaw? It looks like the filling is connected to the tooth next to it or that is just how I see on xray. How to safely remove that tooth?
Thanks
