Tooth infection versus teeth infections - Shella


Posted: Jan 21, 2012

Hello.  Ok, so here is the sentence: 

No teeth infection or

No tooth infections or

No teeth infections or

No tooth infection? 

When do you use the "s" on infection, with teeth or tooth?  When do I use no "s" after infection, with teeth or tooth.  This is turning into a tongue twister! 

 

Thank you.

 

What was actually dictated? Just wondering. - nm

She is only basing this on what an old medical transcription company she used to work for had her typing. I would rather base it on the  medical reference. The doctors are not even aware this has come up. She is ...

I tried reading up on endotracheal tube placement procedures and whatnot to try to figure this out (seems like too many things are being placed in addition to the teeth thing), but perhaps my brain is too add ...
