I Have Recurring Abscesses, Should I Be Worried?

February 9th, 2014
Q.

I had a dental abscess over 5 years ago in top left gum. I had root canal and a crown. For several months I have been able to feel an odd sensation where the abscess was but as it wasn’t painful and was infrequent I didn’t do anything about it. A couple of weeks ago the sensation became stronger and was persistent then last week I noticed a lump the size of a large pea. The dentist was vague but said it wasn’t really an abscess, more an infection where the abscess had been and prescribed metronidazole. I have just finished the course and there is very little if any change. It’s not bothering me other than concern over what it is and I would leave it to see if the lumps goes itself but next month I was planning to try to get pregnant. Should I go back to the dentist? (I told him my plans and he wasn’t concerned but he did seem very relaxed!)

My teeth have begun to crumble and I don’t know why, could you please advise?

March 1st, 2013
Q.

My teeth have become week since i had my children the first being 13 years ago and the last of 4 being 3 years ago, but within the last two months my teeth have began to crumble. I am not over weight and run atleast 3 times aweek, we eat at every meal fruit and veg.(mainly friut salad and salad). Although thinking about it we did have two littres of freshly squeezed oranges every day from november to january. could this have had a part in all of a sudden that my teeth have started to crumble? I am 40 but since november have started to have taccicardio and passing out on a daily basis. I was given at the end of feb almarytn 100mg per day my heart is better now and I dont pass out any more. But at the same time that I was given the new tablet it seems that my teeth problems started? brush my teeth 3 or four times aday and use mouth wash and have regular visits to the dentist. Apart from the reason I have outlined in this email I cannot think of anything else that has changed in the last couple of months? I would really like to know what I should do now? I have never had problems when I was younger my teeth were always strong and I have never really had an over sweet tooth and I hardly ever drink fizzy drinks. Thank you very much for looking at my problem and I look forward to your answer.
