Question 1

will augmentin take car of a jaw bone infection if i have one im taking it for tooth infection in panic spreading to all facial bones what the chances?

Accepted Answer

Not by itself: Antibiotics like augmentin will suppress the symptoms of an infection but only the appropriate dental procedure will really solve the problem. You need a good diagnosis and treatment plan.

Question 2

is it possible to can get an abscess/infection on the jaw-bone even if the tooth is extracted?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: An impacted tooth can cause debris and bacteria to collect around the gum and infection can then set in.  Over time infection around the tooth can spread to and infect the adjacent bone (osteomyelitis).

Question 3

could i be in a lot of pain if i had a bone infection after tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

Post op pain: It could be a dry socket or you may just be dealing with some aggressive post operative pain associated with the difficult extraction. Difficult teeth tend to require the removal of bone and require more healing time than erupted teeth. If its been over a week and there's still pain or more pain, contact your dental surgeon.

Question 4

i have serious jaw bone infection from no dental care available in uk  pain 24 7  where can i go had enough?

Accepted Answer

Dentist: You need to see a dentist or oral surgeon right away. If an infection has spread into your jaw, it can become very serious very quickly. The risks are needing surgery to remove a portion of the diseased bone or spread into your blood, to your brain, or down into your throat and lungs. If you can't find a doctor, go to a hospital emergency department. This can be an emergency.

Question 5

how long does a jaw bone infection after root canal take to heal?

Accepted Answer

Infection dependent: This depends on the size of the infection, the amount of time it has been present, the success of the root canal and the proper antibiotic used. Typically a week, give or take.

Question 6

what can i expect after a wisdom tooth extraction for a tooth thats a bony impaction? my oral surgeon says that means the tooth is surrounded by bone, so hell need to cut into my jaw bone. that sounds really painful. will i have a long recovery? how wil

Accepted Answer

If : If you are young it will be simple. Your surgeon only needs to remove enough bone to get the tooth out. That's what i call a window. The bone will heal back uneventfully. You will not be in the pain you are imagining. But the first week after surgery you will be sore and eating will take more effort. After the second week you can get back to eating that beef jerky. So don't fret it will go well.

Question 7

could an impacted infected wisdom tooth cause a bone infection of the skull?

Accepted Answer

It depends.: Simply being impacted may lead to pain but won't necessarily lead to infection, but if debris chronically accumulates around the gum near the tooth' it can then become infected.  If this happens, or it becomes infected for other reasons, then infection can spread to the adjacent bone of the skull.  It then becomes know as osteomyelitis.

Question 8

can you have jaw bone infection without fever or swelling, but just with sever pain? my dentist took an x-ray and said there's nothing wrong, and an urgent dr said it can't be an infection without fever. the aching area is spreading and i'm worried?

Accepted Answer

: Jaw pain can come from several things, I don't think you will get a specific answer to your concern using this forum. It requires an in-person examination. I wonder if it is nerve pain or a referral from somewhere else. I suggest seeing a primary care doctor, best an internist who is the most trained to care for adults. They can see the entire picture , do a good examination and consider referrals

Question 9

i had a tooth extraction 3 months ago, from a cracked abcessed tooth i'm still getting pains occasionaly, could this mean the infection is still there?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: If you are still having issues after 3 months you certainly need to see the dentist that removed the tooth. It could be secondary infection, it could be a small portion of the root was left in place(there are reasons we sometimes must do that) or it could be slight nerve damage. Without seeing a current x-ray, which should be included as part of standard follow up at this point, it is hard to say.

Question 10

have a periodontal tooth abscess. can i take amoxicillin and bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) together to clear the infection until i can have the tooth extracted?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics: I strongly recommend that you see a dentist first, have the tooth examined, determine the proper course of treatment, and then take the correct antibiotics. Certain infections require immediate intervention, not just pills. You'll heal faster and be better off in the long run.
