From: miracatta on 15 Oct 2005 03:07 What medicine would be best for a gum/root canal abscess to keep it quiet for 3 months. I've used Keflex (500mg, 4x day, 10 days) with good results. Abscess went away for 3 months. PenVeeK (250mg, 4x day)was used for 7 days with not great results (slow healing, abscess came back). My dentist insists on doing a root canal at this point, but I cannot afford $2000. My dental insurance maxed out this year and I already have a $4700 bill. What can I use till January, when I get my benefits back? The dentist said that the root canal is old and has double silver wires, which are bad and are causing trouble. Are antibiotics used for cats or other animals the same as prescribed for humans, as I saw the same pills on animal med sites for a far lesser price. I was thinking of getting cat cephalexin, 500 mg, 40 of them. please advise what to do till I can afford the root canal, which I probably need. Thank you.

Ask your doctor and/or dentist about Avelox. It isn't cheap, though. -- "Did Father shoot him? I will eat Grandfather for dinner." - Helen Keller, on learning of the death of her grandfather

Are you far from the border? Why not get it done in Mexico? There are great dentists over there. |
