The abscess from my front tooth appears to have spread. The endodontist was concerned about a lesion on the x ray, and wants to monitor it. My lateral incisor next to the affected tooth appears to now be compromised as well.
I have had a root canal and an apicoectomy. I have had so many rounds of amoxicillin that I am sure I am resistant at this point. The endodontist prescribed me clindamycin. The front tooth (#8) is going to come out, but she wants to wait and see if the one next to it is compromised before extracting the front one. It hurt with percussion and has a tiny bit of lingering pain after endo ice. The abscess edge was right on the root of the second tooth.
So what is next? If both teeth come out, and the clindamycin doesn't work, what else can be done?
I just am at the point where I want the infection gone, no matter what has to be done. I feel like it is in my sinus on that sidr as well. I have pain on that side, and it hurts to blow if I attempt to even gently blow my nose. In the CBCT, the majority of the abscess was behind the tooth, in the palate.
