Bye Bye Molar!
So after going through my process with the two dentists we realized that we were going to have to pull my back molar. I'm having that done tomorrow morning. Basically I had the infection inside the old root canal from my tooth being cracked just a tiny bit. I did a week of antibiotics which seemed to help quite a bit. I was put on an antibiotic I never used before called Clindamycin. I had a really odd side effect as in I lost my appetite and got really lethargic. In the past taking antibiotics I've never had this happen. So tomorrow I will tell my dentist to put a note in my chart I will not be using that ever again. Soon as I went off of it my energy started coming back and I got my appetite back. I did make sure I was eating protein and drinking plenty of water. It was really weird to sit down to a meal take about five bites and go I'm done. Anyway it's bye-bye molar tomorrow. We'll see how I do for a few months and then I may have a dental implant done to replace the tooth. Luckily I have zero co-pay on my dental insurance! I will be resting and doing ice on my cheek this weekend and hopefully it won't be too bad. Netflix here I come. Send me some good energy please, thank you!!!

Will be praying for you. I had all my molars removed when i was 17. Have never missed them. Get a good nights rest and all will work ouf well.
Thanks Judy!
Good luck with the extraction tomorrow! And thanks for popping by my blog today!
Oh, boy! I’m glad you can get that taken care of soon. Tooth problems are the worst! Weird side effects with the antibiotic - hope all goes well with the extraction.
Sending lots and lots of positive energy to help get you through this whole ordeal! Doesn't it make you think about the terrible, awful pain people must have gone through way back in the day before modern dental practices came to be? ((Shudder, shudder!)) It's probably very important to take it really easy this weekend so your whole body can get back to normal.
Well Nancy, it's all done now. Remember, ice is your friend (on the outside of your mouth).
Thanks it went pretty well and I'm resting comfortably
Went really well and I'm resting comfortably and watching lots of TV
