Re: Cracked Root Canal Infection

My #2 had a root canal, and got infected, apparently from a cracked root.  I had #2 Removed, and now #3 has gone bad. and I have had a root canal, and ayear later, had #3 removed.  I have gone back to my oral surgeon maybe 4 times.  He does not seem to like to see me coming, maybe because he gets one fee for one tooth.

That is my fear that #4 is next.  I had a feeling that #3 was going bad, but delayed making an appointment with the Endodontist to confrim the problem.  I was hoping it would get better.  I tried flossing more.  I had previouly beleived that flossing more than once a day was a wast of tiem.  Now the thinking in Dental Journals is that the more frequently you floss, the better your dental health.

I got a perscriiption for Clindamycin HCL, 150 MG 4 time a day, but have not started taking it. Once I start, I have to finish, according to may oral sugeon.  My Oral surgeon said that there was no infection, so I did not actually need antibiotics.

I just wish I could trust the absolute certainty, and disdain, I heard in the voice of my experienced Oral Surgeon, that "There is no Infection!".   Someone posted that Detnists are Liars.

 I didn't think about precuations after surgery, and gave my wife oral sex the night of my first extraction attempt, but now I realize that was probably dumb.  Germs in the mouth are probably not a good idea with a healing wound.

Have you tried the diagnostic ultasound of your jaw?  What treatments are you trying? I don't understand what they mean when they say don't do a root canal, go to a wholistic dentist.  What does the wholistic dentist do?
