I've been going to the dentist a lot over the last few months to have some root canals and crowns done.

Last month I had the temporary filling in one of the big molars filled with the permanent filling and it's never really settled since then. I did contact the dentist about this and was prescribed a course of 500mgs Amoxcyllin, which seemed to work at the time but I am now back to where I was before.

So today I went back to the dentist, who is convinced that I don't have an infection but am still suffering the effects from the treatment and possibly have a bit of inflammation around the gum due to not brushing my teeth as well as I should.

Anyway to cut a long story short, the dentist has prescribed me a course of Metronidazole to take if the toothpaste and moushwash she gave me don't help. I don't think I've ever taken this particular medication before and would be grateful if anyone who has could give me any advice about it. I'm not very good with new meds
