Thanks Christine,


Do you have a name or link for the paper. I would be fascinated to see it.

I meant to look for it but have not had the time, and the focus has been low.

I had an abscess surgically removed from my jaw that had persisted from an asymptomatic tooth death I guess some years ago. Treatment and root filling did not solve the issue. Finally an unarguable lump appeared and a jaw abscess was diagnosed.

I have been complaining about spread to the upper sinuses, skin problems, not feeling good, sleep loss, anxiety, bad tastes in mouth etc, but was largely greeted with blank looks, and had the satisfaction of telling them that the residual bleed from the surgical removal had appeared in the back of the nasal tract / back of the throat rather than the mouth where you would expect it, which unless I have spontaneously evolved the ability to transport matter would suggest the abscess had made a drain to the sinus area (-:.

The moral of which is if you have a heavily filled tooth that goes a little loose do not ignore it (-:
