Hello,
Well, I thought to be clever 5 days ago and whiten my teeth with bicarbonate soda!! Instead of putting a tiny amount, I put about 2 teaspoons to form a paste, and I was looking forward to see my "hollywood style white teeth".......well, not exactly the same i imagined! the next day, it was hell all over my wisdom tooth (partially erupted) the pain was severe ,so I went to a visit the dental hospital. The dentist asked me a variety of questions, and recorded everything in my records, including, patient tried to whiten teeth with bicarbonate soda.... Anyways, he said that I got an infection and that the need to remove my top left wisdom tooth. I've explained I got a bicuspid valve, and asked them for antibiotics prior to the procedure. To my surprise, he told me that there is no need as it won't make any effect, however, they will give me antibiotics after the extraction.
I am now , obviously, worried ( story of my life) and herebelow are my worries. May I please ask for your reassurance, pleaseee??
1. How likely it is that I can get endocarditis, my temperature was 37.1 at the dentist prior to extraction, and he said that it's slightly raised, because my body is fighting off the tooth infection. I am now on an antibiotic course for 7 days?
2. After my tooth was extracted, I felt rotten for all afternoon yesterday and most of
today, I couldn't believe I feel like this after such a minor procedure, which of course , triggerred another worry..... How on earth I'm going to cope if I have OHS one day??
That's all, hope You can be kind enough to answer my issues.
Thankyou all
