Well the rootcanalled tooth I had extracted 3 weeks ago still has infection in the extraction site and I have to go back on Tuesday and get it reopened and cleaned out again...this time he is going to use stitches. I don't know why he didn't last time...it makes me wonder...cause I have heard that it should be done in all cases to prevent cavitations. But who I am to second guess a dentist, especially a holistic one, when he is the only one I trusted to do my dental work? Damn it, now I wish I had.

So now he has recommended antibiotics for the infection, but I am not sure if they will do any good. I felt so rough last week, I thought I had the flu, but it must be the poison coming out from the extraction site. Now I am scared to go and get the other teeth extracted...

Does anyone have a copy of the correct procedure to use when cleaning out cavitations. I can't find it on any sites and I am so losing faith in this dentist... I read it in a borrowed copy of TOOTH TRUTH by Frank Jerome...and I should have copied it out. I was going to order that book on Amazon, but it is over $70 for the paperback...what is up with that???

Wish me luck guys and thanks for listening to me whine.
