Relief from an infected tooth

Where can coca leaves be had in the states? Coca-cola is the only company on the planet with a license to import them to remove the cocaine and use them in their soda

Ok where is the cheapest state to get implants done? The kind where they put 4 posts in and a plate attaches to it. A friend told me years ago he had his teeth pulled and dentures made somewhere in GA for about half what it would cost in FL. I’m over being in pain all the time. Already had my top teeth pulled to get rid of pain just to get I’ll fitting dentures I can’t wear and to many bone fragments coming out to go somewhere and pay $1000 for an upper. The worst is people looking at you like you’re a crack head when you have no teeth. Workman’s comp fucked me when I got hit in the face and 70% of my teeth broken. Cheap ass post and crowns started pulling out a few years back and here we are looking like a crack head for working like a hebrew slave.

Sorry to hear of all the dental issues man. When I was a teenager some asshole jumped me and broke my jaw in 2 places and a tooth in half trying to rob me. I will have arthritis in my jaw for life and have had non-stop dental issues since. Had one tooth that was cracked in half and abscessed for 9 months before finally having it removed. There is no pain quite like that.

All they will do is give you antibiotics and some weak pain pills

thats awesome

Health insurance won’t touch dental for me. Went to the hospital and they looked at me like my tooth was not part of my body.

Ouch, that’s what happened to me. I ended up needing a bone graft in my jaw for it. I hope he can get the care he needs, recovery is fairly quick. Just make sure he keeps up on the pain meds.

That’s good to hear! Definitely follow all instructions they give you. Nothing hot or cold, no drinking from a straw, no smoking, no lifting, etc. Also stay ahead of the pain with the meds they give you. I’m usually not a fan of pain pills, but he’ll probably benefit from them. The pain will be the worst the first day but will get better throughout the week. Don’t freak out if little shards of bone come out up to a month later, it’s part of the healing process. Best of luck and a speedy recovery!

Thank you so far hes just been alternating between tylenol and ibuprofen. He has a history of drug abuse so they aren’t giving him much hes not looking for pain meds n honestly if he really wanted to he could get his own, got some clove oil its been a saving grace seriously

See if they can give him something that isn’t necessarily an opioid or addictive. He probably is going to be in a bit of pain the first few days. My girlfriend said I was laying on the couch afterwards just moaning after ther surgery, luckily I don’t remember much of it. I’ve had several surgeries in my mouth and am in need of a few more, which hopefully can get all taken care of at once. I’ve gotten pretty used to the routine.

Yeah it sucked, my boss actually took one look at me and said "yeah you need to get to the hospital " and she hated letting people leave early(I had only been at work for about 2 hours) and then had one of my worst er visits ever. I’d rather slam my dick in a car door repeatedly than ever go back. Anyway yeah they switched me to amoxicillin and it stated to clear up.

Also can’t remember if its been said but said from just swishing the coconut oil in your mouth try touching your teeth(focusing on the infected tooth/teeth) it will help for pain relief or at least did for me.
