Hello,
My wife has had several root canals and a full mouth of crowns installed in the last six months. She has had very serious pain seeming to emminate from the teeth which have had root canal work. Her face is clearly swollen on her left side today. On her left side she had one lower and two upper molers given root canal. The dentist in Mexico first recommended Flagyl when the problem kept reooccuring he swithched her to ampasillan. Extensive treatment with both meds have not stopped the reoccurance of the swelling and pain.In addittion she has horrific bouts of diarrea which Flagyl seems to help and when she stops the medication tyhe diarrea returns. What can this be what treatment should we be following. Her dentist says because her bridgework is not yet complete on her right side rear and because she grinds her teeth in her sleep she is causing this pain.
Please help. Thank you.
Thanks for the note – sounds like a complicated situation. Both of us are experienced in managing advanced dental restorative projects such as this one. The only way we could be able to help you is for us to give you a second opinion and give you our recommendations. In order to do this, we will need our own set of x-rays and photos and some time to examine her. In complex dental treatment such as this, there are always issues to clear up that are not foreseen.
If you would like for one of us to re-evaluate her situation, please call for an appointment.
