after starting antibiotics for an abscessed tooth how long before you see results?

Question

Which antibiotic does one take specifically for an abscessed tooth?

Answer 1

24 hours: Typically it takes at least 24 hours before an antibiotic takes effect, but an antibiotic alone will not cure an abscessed tooth you need to have the tooth treated by a dentist.

Answer 2

24 hours plus: This can vary depending on the cause of the abcess. However if you took the antibiotics on your without seeing a dentist first you should see one immediately because you may make the situation worse (more difficult diagnosis of problem or creation of a super infection of the wrong antibiotic for the wrong amount of time).

Answer 3

It is best to: Use backup method for the rest of the month, at your age if you do not want children, i would offer you an in office tubal sterilization , takes 5 minutes, is easy and safe, and you should be on the lowest dose of pills if no problems which is loloestrin- less chance of blood clots, etc. And after the tubal if you want no more periods, would do in office endometrial ablation takes 8 minutes.

Answer 4

Cosmetic Dentistry: Cosmetic dentistry has matured well in the field of dentistry. Most experienced dentist can render great looking restorations. Porcelain veneers, all ceramic crowns and bridges can really improve the look of your smile. If there is a concern, you ask your dentist to place an interim restoration first so changes still can be made. Then the final restoration can be fabricated.

Answer 5

Cosmetic procedures: Cosmetic procedures in dentistry can be pain free. Some porcelain veneers can be done without novocain (procaine) and prepless, meaning no tooth structure is removed ! another procedure requiring no anesthetic or novocain (procaine)e is a partial denture called snap-on-smile. That and lumineers are good examples. Google them.

Answer 6

No need to: Modern dental care always includes an attractive cosmetic option. With today's comfortable techniques, there is no need to fear dental treatment at any age. I suspect that older women may sometimes fear dental care because they grew up in an age where dentistry was not always delivered in a caring manner. That has completely changed now. Read reviews to find a consistently great experience.

Answer 7

Not usually: A dentist should enhance the cosmetic outcome. I suppose people can fear anything but if you trust your dentist, their should be no reason for fear.

Answer 8

No: Patients in general who fear going to a dentist is usually a result of a bad childhood experience, and not for cosmetic reasons. Modern dentistry has changed the perception to going to dentist, in that techniques, including sedation, and compassionate, caring attitude of dentists make one's dental experience wonderful.

Answer 9

No: More and more older women and men are seeking dental care for cosmetic reasons. Society is going the way of making older younger.

Answer 10

It varies.: It depends on the kind of x-rays prescribed by the dentist. Full mouth x-rays cost more than bite-wings. A single radiograph is the least expensive but limited to just a few teeth. And x-rays on children usually cost less than adults.

Answer 11

$15-$100: The average cost for a single xray is about $15. Multiple xrays, like bite wings are around $45. A panoramic xray (goes outside, around the head) is about $90. Fees vary by region and by city.

Answer 12

Depends: One x-ray, 2-4 cavity detection x-rays, a full mouth series, panoramic x-ray, cephalometric (skull) x-ray, cbct, etc, all have different costs. Fees tend to be higher on the coasts and in the big cities, lower in more rural areas. The kinds of x-rays and the number of x-rays that your child requires may be different than a sibling or classmate. Every child must be treated as unique.

Answer 13

No: Commonly used antibiotics for UTI don't stop you from getting pregnant. In fact, some women on birth control pills get pregnant when they take antibiotics as antibiotics can affect birth control pill effectiveness.

Answer 14

No.: Antibiotics are generally safe in pregnancy. I know of no antibiotic that can decrease fertility.

Answer 15

Antihistamine: A short course of antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) will help. It is advisable to have your doctor classify the allergic reaction and document in your medical record the type of antibiotic which caused the reaction. Please, always follow directions listed on over the counter meds and better yet double check with a pharmacist.
