Just an update: The oral surgeon put me on abx and wants to take a wait and see approach. He wasn't sure if there was or wasn't an infection. I wasn't originally on abx due to other health issues…
Thanks again for everything! |

Hi Cptawesome,
Okay so he most likely suspects an infection. Did he take an xray by any chance? When does he want to see you again? Other health issues...... it would be wise to supplement with a probiotic to help replenish good bacteria in your intestines while (and after being) on the antibiotic. Are you familiar with probiotics? Bryanna

Oh, I know probiotics well! I'm on Florastor. Thanks for the tip though!
He wants me back between Christmas and New Years, ideally. No X-ray. Quote:

Cptawesome,
Okay, if Florastor works for you, great. If you do not need to see him before your next appointment, it would behoove you to have an xray done then to evaluate the site for proper healing. FYI... although the gum tissue closes over, the actual bone does not fill in completely for up to one year. Take care, Bryanna
