Just a note to all those who have suggested various home remedies… I know you have good intentions, but what everyone is suggesting here won’t work. This isn’t a case of a simple toothache or just “yanking” a bum tooth. He needs SURGERY. Involved surgery by an EXPERIENCED surgeon.
As a former military dental surgery technician I can assure you that for abscessed teeth, impacted or not, NOTHING is going to help except immediate extraction. In the case of impacted teeth like third molars, which is what Wolf is dealing with, it is IMPERATIVE to get them out as soon as possible. He has waited, for whatever reasons, and at this stage it has progressed to the point where infection has spread and is affecting the rest of his body… especially his heart. Antibiotics are not a long term solution and have their own disastrous side effects if taken for too long.
It’s probably too late to get to Cancun, like I suggested earlier for less expensive surgery, as the air pressure changes in a plane would drive him crazy with pain.
So… what to do?? Seems like, as others have suggested, Wolf needs to get to a dental school that has an oral surgery department (not all do) and be seen in an emergency capacity.
Wolf… do it. It’s too late now to sell your moped. You can’t mess around with this one minute longer! You must make a move first thing Monday morning and insist on being seen asap! I don’t know what else to tell you. Get help… now!
There are free dental clinics all over the place which have people who pull teeth every day. Don’t ever full around with dental health because it can spread to the brain very easily.
