My son has a tooth abscess. We went to dentist and they prescribed amoxicillin for 7 days. They said they could not pull the tooth until after the antibiotics. We been taking it for 3 days now and it doesn't seem to making a difference. The bump seems to be getting bigger. Should I call the dentist back saying the amoxicillin isn't working or give it more time ..read more

Hi there, I recently had a check-up with my local dentist in Britain who belongs to the {my}dentist dentistry group. I was told that I have some "tooth-surface loss" over the tops of my teeth, though it is minimal. For some years now I have had a problem with chewing on anything that is not soft, and I now understand that this "tooth-surface loss" is the problem. I think this problem began because some years ago I remember on a handful of occasions I unluckily had some grit in what I... Read more ..read more

I have a pinhead pinkish dot at my gum line where my tooth is. My mom looked at it and said it basically looks like a teeny tiny cut. It doesn’t hurt unless I put my finger on it, and it just bled a tiny bit. I noticed it on Saturday, and it hasn’t grown. I feel like it’s probably not significant enough to go to the dentist, but I wanted to ask to be sure. Also, this is the implant that I had placed a couple of years ago, and my health anxiety makes me nervous about things. The dot is not... Read more ..read more

Hi. I had tooth pain come on while eating popcorn almost two weeks ago, in the first molar on the bottom left. After a week I got in to see a dentist. The pain is coming from a tooth with a crown and previous root canal (I think it was four years ago). He didn't see any signs of issues with the root canal or any issues that jumped out at him. He thought I had a sprained tooth ligament. He said he could do a bite adjustment if I wanted. For the first week I wasn't doing anything different... Read more ..read more
