Any suggestions?

Thanks!
I also got my braces off a few months ago. I still wear my retainer, that seems to make the swelling occur too.

For people that don’t know what pericoronitis is it is where the M3 is semi errupting (half in/half out) the gum and there is an infection because the area logistically cannot be kept as clean as one would like.

For those that have had this problem - have you had the tooth removed or was the pericoronitis a one off? its not the first time I’ve had trouble with errupting M3 - last time was about 5 years ago however there was no infection - just swelling.

I’m in the UK so it would be free at the dental hospital - not at the dentists. go the NHS!

I have to think about this option before Wednesday when I see my regualt dentist.

Please advise.

I wasn’t trying to pick an argument. The girl was breaking the rules, not me. Why do I have to be kicked out, too? I couldn’t concentrate, & I had to print out something important. I didn’t argue back with the girl after she told me what she told me.

Do you think that guy was being fair? What’s the difference between the gum or if someone was playing loud, distracting music with their headphones? I couldn’t concentrate. Now being angry about it I STILL can’t.
***I don’t mean to sound rude, but I’m very angry right now. My day is ruined.

I also wonder is whether it really is my lymph node? The swelling is between the top of my shoulder and my clavicle . . . I can tell that this side is more swollen than the other side. Now it feels like my collarbone itself is larger on that side. It isn’t tender, but it aches at times. (because I’m poking at it?)

I have upper GI problems for almost ten years (GERD, etc) so obviously I am concerned about pancreatic or esophageal cancer. My CT scan is on Sunday, but I’m going nuts waiting. I would love to hear that it could be something else!
PS I was on clindomycin (sp?) for a week, then on 875 mg of Augmentin for ten days. I had just finished the first round of antibiotics when I noticed the lump.
