Is Amoxicillin Sufficient After, Having An Apicoectomy On Tooth, For An Abscess In Tooth?
I am going to have an apicoectomy on tooth #6 in a few days. It has been abcessed for several months (4 bottles of amoxicillin and cypro) and nothing has helped. My biggest problem is this tooth & rest of my front teeth have been capped; and I am worried about losing one or more teeth. That, plus I have no clue what all he will do to seal & clean this abcess. He is an endodontist. YYYY@YYYY
Hello, Thank you for sharing your problem with healthcaremagic. Actually apicectomy is a small surgery in which the dentist removes the infected part of tooth and does the proper filling in the tooth and seals it. The tooth is not removed in it. So you should not worry about losing of teeth or for the procedure as the dentist is an endodontist he will handle the procedure properly. Hope it will help you.
It would be better if you take amoxi-clav 625 with lactobacilli along with analgesic. Moreover apicectomy is surgical procedure & you are consulting endodontist.So needn't worry. All will be fine. Just follow the guidelines. Maintain good oral hygiene.
