No Teeth but I still have VERY bad breath
May 20, 2013 in the Dental Health Expert Forum - 1
Hi Cliff, Have you considered contacting your local dental society for support services? Or possibly going to a local dental school to get treatment done at a more affordable price. Removal of the teeth would both help with the bad breath which occurs (due to the buildup of bacteria in the roots) as well as prevent future infection of the area.

So the front tooth hasn't moved out after 3-4 months since the baby tooth came out? When was her last dental appointment? It does seem to have taken longer than usual.

Its possible that the trauma from the dental handpiece can cause damage to the nerve of the tooth. If that's the case, it may take upwards of 6 weeks to completely recover from that irritation. If it doesn't improve in 6 weeks, a root canal may be needed as the injury won't heal on its own.
tooth abcess or jaw cancer?

You may want to ask your dentist to refer you to an endodontist or periodontist (root canal or gum specialist) to get it evaluated. I understand that we shouldn't perform treatment on something we can't confidently diagnose and solve but at the same time, it doesn't work to allow symptoms to develop without at least seeing a specialist or seek...

So you're still experiencing a runny nose and sore throat, etc? Did you see an ENT or any other kind of specialist to find out if it was a sinus problem instead?

It depends on what is the source of the infection. Since you have antibiotics, I'm assuming you saw some kind of doctor for it. What did they say?

Sorry. That's a tough question. I wish there was a website review to find out some reviews on the doctors around the area. Any personal referrals you can depend on?
Abscess tooth and now Swelling

You should take the antibiotics sooner just in case. The doctor informed you to take it if there was swelling and it sounds like you are experiencing that.
Pain After Filling

In terms of fillings, they could place a gold filling or a porcelain filling as an alternative to amalgam or composite. I would say you should contact your dentist to see what he/she would recommend. It sounds like you may have an irreversible pulpitis, which is an inflammation of the dental pulp which can't be stopped. It may progressively worsen...

There are certain combinations of pain medications that can be taken together to help with pain also but you'd need a doctor to figure out if its safe for you and what combination would work best.
