Just looked up dry socket. Wish I hadn't. That shit looks like hell. Having had a dying nerve inside a tooth that got infected once (the tooth was otherwise not visibly damaged, but the dead flesh inside the tooth became filled with pus and bacteria) I can only imagine the intense pain of an open, festering wound in your mouth. Took the doctors a couple of days to figure out the tooth was dead, since there was no damage to it.My whole cheek swelled up and the pus started leaking into my mouth from the gum lining when I pressed the cheek, it was absolutely horrible. Damn, fuck. Gotta brush 10 ten times today. In my country doctors flat out refuse to give anything but ibuprohen and tylanol for anything but the most severe pain. But tooth pain is the fucking worst, it radiates all over your skull and it pulsates intensely, you cannot get used to it.
Next time for pain and infection, cut a clove of garlic thinly. Place sliver on infected gum line between gum and chhek.. I'm serious, pain is almost instantly gone and it kills infection. Helps tremendously. Keep the garlic there until it wears off and replace with a new slice.
Yeah tooth pain is a bitch. The only time I've ever taken codeine. I avoid that shit like the plague.
Definitely don't brush ten times, you're likely to wear through your enamel and give yourself cavities!
Look into earth paste. Your body can heal cavities, as your teeth are alive just like your bones are. You give them the right things they heal. Don't brush any sooner than thirty minutes after eating, as the enamel is softer from your saliva helping to break down foods.
But ya, dry socket is insane. I had an impacted molar that gave me migraines. I guess I'd still do it again but I 0/10 don't recommend the experience.
