Hi gem,
well I work on a system now with my dentist, whereby when I leave her she gives me a prescription for antibiotics which I take an hour prior to seeing her next time and so it is a continuous process.
Talking about teeth and dentists a hot tip here for all our members who might be having problems with their teeth following taking medications.
There is a toothpaste called Duraphat 2800 and is only available from your dentist. It's at high fluoride toothpaste which is very good at preserving your teeth if you have been taking a lot of medication as many of us have to keep the pain down prior to ADR.
I thought I'd just leave that as a bit of a tip for everybody.
Best,
Alastair
