Hi, Was this double jaw surgery to correct a misaligned bite? I was recommended this particular surgery myself due to an underbite/crossbite but I have serious reservations due to the seriousness of the surgery itself (anything jaw related can have T implications), the much needed use of...

Hi, apologies for not coming back sooner for the write up, tbh I put it off, got lazy, it then completely slipped my mind! (Just to note, long read ahead, please excuse any mistakes and/or poor grammar, it isn’t a strength of mine! Lol). So back in December after much deliberation I decided to...

Thanks for your input, Paul. See this worries me because I haven’t done any real research on the various complications the unlucky few have with dental implants? When I think about all the possibilities with nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, bone rejections, infections, immune responses, metal...

Thanks, @Mister Muso Yeah, I can imagine the drilling into the jaw being quite intense! But like you say it’s for a short amount of time, certainly much less that the tooth drilling. :) Where did you get the implant fitted? As in upper or lower jaw? front or back? Any increase in your T?

Thanks for the advice, Greg. While doing a search for related topics, I came across your experience in one thread, regarding neck and jaw issues causing a spike in your Tinnitus, sorry to hear this, I gather it was a permanent worsening? Seems like there is more to be worried about than simply...

Hi everyone, has anyone had a dental implant fitted? Did that result in any change in your tinnitus? I’ve got a dentist appointment for tomorrow, for an extraction on a upper first molar. I originally was going to have an endodontist perform a root canal on the tooth, but due to the tooth...

Yikes! Sorry to hear this, object. This is exactly why I’m opting for extraction instead. A first upper molar needs an amalgam filling removing, then a root canal preformed, but also a crown fitted at a later date. I’ve no idea how long the filling removal and root canal will take, but it’s...

Hi Bill, did you go ahead with the root canal and crown? I myself need both procedures on an upper first molar, but also need an old, large amalgam filling drilling out as well, so all in all an awful amount of drilling! I’m pretty sure I’m better off just having the tooth extracted (booked in...

Yes Valeri, I agree 100% with you. It was due to all the toing and froing on whether or not to have the tooth treated for a root canal vs extraction. After the latest debacle with the second course of antibiotics, reoccurring pain etc I’ve finally made up my mind and just having the tooth...

Possibly, never taken it before personally. Unfortunately from what I’ve read taking any antibiotic outside of the penicillin family can be a bit of a crapshoot.

Yeah, the rash was quite dramatic, red flat blotchy marks everywhere! I suppose the amoxicillin could have side effects (itching etc) which would be fine to continue the course, but the rash that developed for me looked like a typical cause of an allergy and because it would be quite risky...

Thanks for the suggestion, Fabrikat. I’ll look up the name and keep it in mind.

After the first course of Amoxicillin over 2 weeks ago which completely got rid of the tooth pain, due to the delayed treatment for the tooth (appointment next week for consultation) the pain came back slightly on Friday. Contacted the dentist and was told to take a second course of amoxicillin...

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Amoxicillin seems to be to the go to antibiotic when tinnitus is concerned. I myself was on amoxicillin for 5 days for a tooth infection 2.5 weeks ago, no problems at all with no effects on my T. Unfortunately due to delayed treatment of the tooth (still need...

Thanks for all your input @Bill Bauer @Fabrikat @valeri @MattS , much appreciated! Thanks Fabrikat, You’re absolutely right, I’m really stumped, not knowing what to do for the best? I’ve taken on board your advice and for the moment have delayed having anything done for now. Fortunately the...
