I am pregnant unknowingly, and I have taken Doxycycline Hyclate Tablets for 7 days, almost 32 pills. I am 37 years old and this is my first baby. Now, I am worried about the side effects on my baby. Can I keep pregnant or not?
It doesnt look like its receeding and it doesnt have any odd discoloration, just looks normal but detatched. My sister says that she had something like her gums detatching just to make room for adjustments on the new tooth. Is my gum just detatched to help me make my wisdom teeth to move better? Is it going to reattach later on?
Anyways, the dentist is recommending root canal and says that if we leave this tooth untouched, it can spread infection, and may affect the tooth which will grow in the next set. He claims that he can perform root canal without local anesthesia since it is dead tooth after all, and root canal won't cause pain.
I am not sure whether root canal is the way to go. Mainly because -
1. The dentist never took X-ray
2. I am not convinced that root canal won't cause any pain
3.
got into a bike accident where my tooth was damaged and broke but i got an x-ray and my dentist said everything is still lodged in and looks okay...6 months later i notice some discoloration especially after i got my teeth whitened and so i got another x-ray and my dentist saids it still looks okay no need for a root canal but what about the discoloration...i just wanted to get some different opinions and insight on what it may be and what i can do...
ve been told - there is no puss discharge as far as I can tell - or it has been cured by now with round of doxycycline and the azimo - something tablets (2x) i;ve been given. Discoloration is on one side and slight purple swelling with a little bit of redness which burns. Maybe contact dermatitis.. but its been more than 5 weeks so its odd. Herpes I;d have blisters but they are not there.. Might get a swab by doc and see.
Its great that you took your child to a pediatric dentist. A pediatric dentist is specially trained to work with children and as it is his first visit, will ensure that the visit will go as smoothly as possible. Its a great way to get your son use to seeing a dentist.
A pulpotomy is when the dentist will numb your child's tooth and remove the pulp of the tooth on the top part.
This medication can cause harm to an unborn baby, including permanent discoloration of the teeth later in life. Do not use doxycycline without your doctor’s consent if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment.
Discoloration could be the sign of failure of root canal treatment but then there are other more prominent signs which might help you reach a conclusion. Signs like swelling,discomfort and discoloration are pretty much prominent in such a case and so should be examined by a dentist immediately. This condition usually arises when the cleaning aspect of the tooth's procedure is incomplete or there is deterioration of the seal,which is usually because of extensive decay or gum disease.
I've been on penicillin for a week for a toothache and my pvc's are worse than they've ever been..I called the Dr to request doxycycline as I've taken it before with no issues, but does it work for a tooth Infection? I also have mitral valve prolapse..
Is there anything my dentist can do to prep the underlying tooth, masking the discoloration and preventing it from showing through the new crown? Also, is an all porcelain crown the best option given this circumstance? I do not want another porcelain over fused metal crown as my experience has been that they eventually show dark lines at the gum margin.

You might want to see your dentist. A bad tooth can cause sinus infections - and a "silver" filling can cause Mercury poisoning.
mature tooth grew 2 years later ( there was a delay compared to other tooth actually).. Regarding the yellowish discoloration of the same tooth, i only notice it last year (age 23)..which was exactly 2 months after removing braces.. Initially dr. suspected that it was a non-vital tooth..on my next visit she mentioned it could be PCO as the radiograph finding not very suggestive of non-vital tooth..i'm just so confused about the next step for management..
I notice my cheek has a dark discoloration on it after having a back tooth pulled. Doesn’t look like a bruise. It’s been 2 months. Will it go away?
Now i am having just a little pain in that tooth and more pain in the tooth right above it. It is sensitive to cold mostly. I went to endodontist and x rays looked good. Air did not bother them. She said a root canal is not needed right now but it stills hurts to drink cold things and a little sensitive to eat. It has been hurting now for 8 days. What should I do now?
It is now Friday evening and I have taken 7 penicillin VK 500 mg, but am still swollen and the area around the tooth is black/purple. I have been gargling/swooshing salt water and applying ice to the swollen cheek on and off all day.
Is this just a timing situation -- meaning, do I need to let the Penicillin have a few days to work it out?
I had a injury to my mouth about 4 years ago and had to have my two front teeth and one just to the left root-canaled and crowned/venereed. The one tooth (left of the 2 front teeth) was cracked below the rootline and I had to have an extensive build up. My gum has never really healed up right and is always sensitive on this tooth.
i had some iburofen about an hour ago and my tooths fine now and just a dull pain in the gum around injection site which i think may fade in a few days but i think the filling still may b resting on a nerve or i may need tooth extracting or a root canal i will ring my dentist first thing in the morning.

It hurts to pee, no abdominal pain at all, only an irritation in my urethra about halfway down my shaft and some slight discoloration around the tip, nothing to be super noticable but for someone who looks at it every single day it's definitely off.
Dermatologic side effects have included photosensitivity, maculopapular and erythematous rashes, exfoliative dermatitis, nail discoloration, and photo-onycholysis. There is a case report of doxycycline induced nail discoloration.
In a double-blinded study, doxycycline was found to be more phototoxic than minocycline and demeclocycline. Paresthesias of the body areas exposed to sunlight may be early signs of sunburn reactions.
In the last three days I have been feeling chest discomfort, shortness of breath and have PVCs. Could this be a side effect of the antibiotic. I also have a tooth waiting for extraction next week, but is not bothering me at all.

(A previous dentist had said I would eventually need a root canal for that tooth.) The tooth had some discoloration particularly along the gum line, there were two slight fractures (causes from clenching), sensitivity to hot/cold and pain when biting/chewing. The root canal began before Christmas and was finished the first week of January. The temporary filling which caused gum irritation was removed two weeks later and the crown had been in place since January 20.
