      I don't know that the infection would be any different with a more senior dentist. Just use the salt water or antiseptic wash to keep away infection after the next extraction. I have had 4 permanent premolars and 4 wisdom teeth extracted over the years, and I can vouch that the salt water wash works!

      the last time he had an extraction done, the senior dentist did not leave any follow up. when i had wisdom tooth taken out, the dentist gave me a set of antibiotics to make sure there will not be any swelling and also a bottle of mouth wash.

      Yes, for wisdowm teeth, the standard procedure is to give antibiotics after extraction. Not for other teeth though, as far as I recall. I've never been given mouthwash, always the advice to use salt water!

        I had my top wisdom tooth removed and dentist wanted to prescribe antibiotics. I asked if there are alternatives as the antibiotics are more preventive rather than prescriptive/corrective. I was given some enzyme tabs to prevent inflammation and disinfecting wash. More care needs to be taken, eg, proper rinse after each meal.

        Infection sets in usually if aftercare is not done properly. That, no matter how senior a doctor or dentist also won't make much of a difference.

          i got him to use my mouth rinse since he was afraid to brush his teeth.

          anyway, i’ve been too complacent this time.

            Take it as a lesson for your boy to learn how to take care of himself.

            I always tell my boys to go google about a condition or procedure they will be undergoing, then we take precautions accordingly.

                  At his age, he should take ownership, especially when he is the one feeling the pain.

                      I did not take much notice at other shops, only eye ball timberland and clarks.

                      O, there is a Sac... shop having clearance for its women's shoes, but the sizes are quite big and all available ones are displayed. There was a $300+ leather shoes now > $100, only size 39.

                        I saw Courts having stock clearance now before stock count for year end. Worth to go take a look?


                        Actually I do not have any electrical applicances or furniture to replace at the moment.

                        Only thing I like to get is a robotic vacuum cleaner.
