I keep getting infections and my dentist just keeps giving me amoxicillin but the infection comes back a few weeks later each time. I have now had at least four infections and been given amoxicillin each time.

I also have pain under a tooth which he fitted a veneer on to recently and my bite doesn’t feel right because I can’t chew my food right down since he fitted fillings, but every time he looks in my mouth he just files a tiny bit down and it never gets fixed right as I still can’t chew my food right down into a liquid.

I have been getting treatment under sedation since march as I have a terrible phobia of choking and extremely sensitive teeth.

The dentist seems to think I don’t need any further fillings or root treatment but I keep getting these infections and pain in the tooth with the veneer on it – the last infection was particularly bad as the pain was in both my upper and lower gums on the right hand side of my mouth but I was just prescribed amoxicillin for it again which hasn’t really helped as I seem to have an ulcer on my lower gum now and it is very tender to touch.

Should I try changing dentist or persist with the same dentist? I’m still in pain with my teeth.
