I have a dental catch-22, if you are an expert please advise?!


Question: I have a dental catch-22, if you are an expert please advise!?
I have pericoronitis and thrush!. The thrush developed shortly after I had been experiencing dry mouth from taking albuturol (for asthma I developed during the beginning of spring) and antiboitics when my wisdom tooth was giving me pain !. I recently changed jobs so I have put off going to the dentist for 3 or 4 months because I was uninsured!. I made an appointment to see a dentist this friday!. However, my concern is that I don't have pain but the cheek slightly above the lower wisdom tooth has swellled up pretty bad and I am scared that I might have cancer because there are the appearance of blisters, my hearing seems to be very slightly impaired!. I also have experienced some numbness in my inside lips and cheeks after I have washed my mouth with salt water or mouth wash (is it bad to overdue the mouth washing!?)!. Anyways do I have a serious situation on my hands or will the simple extraction of my wisdom tooth, antifungal medication, and antiboitics cure my oral calamities!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
my guess is yes!. the blisters are probably part of the thrush or maybe where your tooth rubs against the cheek!. both are treatable!. Your asthma inhaler makes you more suceptible to thrush and so does taking antibiotics as they kill all the mouth bacteria that keep the fungus in check!. yeah over doing the mouthwash is bad, keep it to once or twice a day!.

if your still worried talk to the dentist when you go for your appointment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
