I had an infected gum on #3. Dr. Boehmer advised me to do conservative treatment which included a deep cleaning by her hygienist and then antibiotic packing into the area.
Less than 48 hours after this treatment, I developed hives severe enought to require Emergency Room Treatment. This treatment is not covered by dental insurance and Dr. Boehmer did not inform me of this information.
The treatment of the hives required 10 days of prednisone, 2 days off work and multiple visits to an excellent Allergist/Immunologist. He stated that infected teeth and gums are not to be treated conservatively, but can easily cause severe hives. The body is responding to a foreign body/contaminant. I would not recommend Dr. Boehmer to anyone. Her ethics as a dentist are deplorable.
