@onemargie - I've had an infected tooth root which cannot be operated on until next Monday due to the inflammation.
2 years ago I went to Bali to visit my son and his Balinese wife as I regularly do. I went to the dentist there and had an implant put into my jaw. The idea being that in 6 months I go back and they screw the lovely little molar onto the now well and truly embedded implant.
3 months after I come back to Australia the implant gets sucked out of my jawbone. It just got looser and looser and one day it just popped out. Then within a few weeks a piece of bone or tooth or something appears where the implant had been jackhammered into my lower jaw. It was so tiny and the size of a pin head that I thought I'd deal with it later, after cancer.
Last Friday that tiny little pinprick of a tooth where one shouldn't be, decided to make itself known and by Saturday night I'm at the hospital begging for relief.
I went back on Sunday morning to have an x-ray to determine that I haven't got necrosis of the jaw, but a few live roots coming directly out of where the implant was placed. The tiny piece of tooth I can feel is just the tip of the ideberg.
The moral of this story is never have your teeth done in Asia!
