Dental Extraction Pain Remedies
"A dental extraction (also referred to as exodontia) is the removal of a tooth from the mouth. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, including tooth decay that has destroyed enough tooth structure to prevent restoration. Extractions of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth are routinely performed, as are extractions of some permanent teeth to make space for orthodontic treatment."

[QUESTION] 09/18/2010: Tes from Wichita, Ks, Usa: "root canals
I had my amalgam fillings removed and replaced with biocompatible fillings in 2009. Since then several of the ceramic fillings have failed, causing me to have 2 root canals from the filling removals. Is there anything that can be done to save a tooth that has become sensitive to cold and now hot? I don't want to lose a third tooth. Also, my dentist informed me yesterday that in one of the root canals material migrated to my sinuses. He wants me to see an oral surgeon, at his expense, to have this material removed. Is there a drawing salve or rinse that I could use to break this material up and flush it from my sinuses? Please, please help me find a solution to this without resorting to surgery. I also fight high blood pressure and do not want meds as they do a number on my body. I have acupuncture every week, qigong and tai chi. I want to avoid western medicine at all costs."

12/28/2009: Blessed from Harare, Zimbabwe: "Hi Ted, I had a very difficult tooth extraction end of November, 09
Dentist cut through my gum to remove the tooth which was embeded in the gum- wisdom tooth, whose roots where pressing on a nerve near the right ear. He then stitched the opening.
Its now more than 3 weeks with no feeling of healing. I have been gargling with hydrogen peroxide, but unfortunately this seems to erode my gums resulting in sensitivity.
May you please advise me on what I can use to heal the wound and calm other teeth which seem to have been shaken during the surgical extraction process.
thank you
Blessed"
12/28/2009: Jamie from Lake Worth, Fl. replies: "Blessed, stop with the peroxide, use warm water and salt. I read recently, not sure where, that peroxide on an open wound is bad. I wish I could remember exactly what the reason was, I know that I am giving out ill informed advice. It just seems in this case it may be useful. Plus it seems it is not working. I do believe I was looking online for wound care for my dog. I also remember being supprised at this advice, thinking peroxide is good. Seems in an open wound it keeps the cells from healing. Hey its worth a try, right?I am not anti peroxide, as a matter of fact I use it daily to brush my teeth with. A friend of mine recently had teeth extracted and her oral surgeon told her to use warm water and salt. She noticed healing within days, and was supprised at the lack of pain. Good luck and happy healing."
EC: Hi Jamie, this may be the post you saw on our site: http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/hydrogen_peroxide11.html#WOUNDS
07/18/2007: Dr. John McDonald, DDS from Cleveland, Ohio writes: "There is a problem using Hydrogen Peroxide on fresh wounds and cuts. The foaming action that you have been told is the 'dirt' being bubbled out is actually the destruction of the 'first responding cells'. the good guys. Destroying those cells is why it takes 30% longer for the wound to heal. The longer the wound takes to heal means more scaring will result. Remember your mom saying not to pick your scabs??? That it would cause a scar. She was right. The older you are, the slower you heal, and this results in more scaring. ALL recent wounds take up more solar radiation and this stimulates the 'tanning' cells. This results in an area that tans quicker than the area around the healed wounds. it takes 6 months for the skin to mature to normal thickness. If you doubt this take a look at the shin area of your leg. In the early exposure to sun will cause your old scars to tan faster. eventually the rest of the shin catches up in the level of tan. On you leg this is no big deal but on your cheek or chin it is. it will show every spring. So if you use a 50 sun block for 6 months you can avoid this livelong problem."

[QUESTION] 09/06/2009: Zulma from Stuart, Florida: "Healing after tooth extraction: One of my upper molars was extracted a month ago, the wound is healing very slowly, still open. I feel frustated and depressed, I've been eating only liquids, I lost 5 pounds. please help"
Replies09/27/2009: Luis from Cali, Valle, Colombia replies: "Yes Zulma: Oil Pulling, see all information in Remedies."
09/27/2009: Zulma from Stuart, Florida, USA replies: "After 2 months the wound is not healed. Any suggestions for what can make recovery faster?"
09/28/2009: Tricia from Ireland replies: "2 months is way too long to be waiting for a gum to heal after an extraction. Is it possible that there is still some tooth left or that maybe there is an infection of some kind keeping it open. I think it would be worth your while to visit a doctor. Your original dentist may not admit to having made a mistake. I haven't had a tooth extracted for a long time but I remember each one vividly and they always closed after a few days. Good luck."
09/30/2009: Kaio from Sofia, Bulgaria replies: "A big flat magnet. Very crucial is to be used only the North pole facing the skin. The magnet should be at least 1/2" tick. Use it as long as necessary, providing that only the north pole side is used!"
12/06/2009: Chelsea from San Marcos, Tx replies: "Tricia is correct- 2 months is way too long to wait for it to heal. However others having pain may have dry sockets. If it has been more than a week, not sooner, it is safe to use clove oil for the pain. It can be put directly into the hole. It will sting at first but feel amazingly better right away. The doctor can administer this but it is easy to do by yourself."
11/26/2011: Anthony from Melrose Park, Il replies: "I have a crown place on number #2 that had a large filling. Now that crown is extremely sensitive to cool water and hot water. What can I do to treat this? thanks"
