QUESTION: Hi, Had a crack in a filling, caused tooth pain. Dentist drilled and did a composit filling. He fixed an adjacent tooth, pain 2 days later. (tooth was pulled). Oral surgeon said tooth was dying…Said I would never miss that tooth. 2 weeks later I was getting sharp pain in original fixed tooth. Not constant pain, a jolt every once in a while. i do not want a root canal. Put on antibiotics (penicillin) for 10 days. Not getting any better after 7 days. Your site came up researching cod liver oil, mentioned that your products worked faster. What do you suggest? Dentist had a difficult time extracting my lower back tooth. – Thanks, S in MI
ANSWER: After a difficult time extracting a lower back tooth, the socket can get infected from infection in another place in the mouth, especially infection between the upper front central teeth. The calcium materials do work quite well for healing sockets. These are called cavitations and surgery is done to dig out any infection. This is more an excuse for repeated surgeries and rarely solves anything. Please do not have it done.
We can send some calcium materials to stimulate proper healing. There is no dentist in the Great Lake area doing the Calcium Therapy. Organized dentistry and specialists will not allow it to be taught even in our schools. Dentists have the right to learn this and we teach it. They should have learned it for the last 40 years. A little Calcium Therapy likely would have saved that molar.
