abcesses and jaw bone infection
by mastermom, May 20, 2007 12:00AM
I was just diagnosed with 4 abcesses and had to have emergency tooth removal of 2 of the 4 teeth. The dentist informed me that the infection had spread into my jaw bone. Should I have it checked further to make sure all infection is gone? I broke my pelvis in 22 places and have missing bone and I am afraid the infection will spread there and I could really be in for big health problems

i think you may have interpreted incorrectly what the dentist meant. I would ask him to clarify what he said, and voice your concerns with him.
