I have been dealing with cancer and had just finished my last round of chemotherapy. A few days later, I developed a pimple on my gums. I scheduled an emergency appointment with my dentist. He said my teeth are a mess because of all my radiation, etc. and I just need to extract my teeth […]
Read More...I have a tooth that is very infected. My cheek is swollen. The problem I have is that I was laid off. I don’t have any extra money. I barely have enough to pay rent. My dentist does not take payments and I don’t know what to do. Is there a way to nurse this […]
Read More...I went in to have several teeth extracted. I’m an anxious patient and so I used dental sedation. I ended up with two extra teeth being pulled than I was expecting.

Read More...My sister had a tooth extracted. At the time of the extraction, there was already some swelling of her jaw. He prescribed her some amoxicillin for the infection. It has been three days since her extraction, and the swelling has hardened and gotten worse. I keep telling her to call her dentist back because I […]
