Infection After Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

Infection After Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

I went to the Dentist on Tuesday and he pulled out my upper right wisdom tooth. He did not prescribe any antibiotics because he said there were no signs of infection. On Thursday, I woke up with tons of pain in my throat, ear and mouth on the right side. I called him and went back in to see him, and he claimed it was dry socket. He placed some sort of cream medication in the hole and cleaned it using salt water. Today, I woke up and the pain was still there. I figured this was normal since I should still be sore, however I notcied swelling along with a yellow colored area around the hole. I figured this to be infection. The pain is excrutiating, however if an infection is present, I don't think it is too bad. Can this infection heal on it's own without the use of antibiotics? It has been almost 4 days after the extraction....

Gravity boots or yoga are better than a chiropracter for putting your spine back inline if thats the problem.  An aspirin sized amount of calcium powder rubbed on the gums will provide very rapid pain control.  Too much at one time will give you headache.  Rinse mouth with warm water with teaspoon salt in it or clean seawater if you can get it.  Oregano tea either cold or hot can take of infection.  Oregano oil is also available.  Chose this before taking antibiotics.  Place a teaspoon of virgin coconut oil in mouth and swish it around as long as possible also good for dental problems, called oil pulling

return to your dentist and have it checked. salt, tea, oregano will not cure your infection. if you are in horrible pain the infection is bad and you need antibiotics before it spreads.

People trained by modern society tend to have doubts about using natural cures.  But when the professionals run out of answers, and their answers don't work, the only option is to look elsewhere.  Oregano has been determined as the herb with the greatest antibiotic power.  Seasoning from the grocery shelf is fine.  Bring a pint of water to a boil and trn it off.  Place a tablespoon of oregano leaves in it.  As soon as cool enough to drink begin sipping it.  You can find recommendations for using oregano oil for toothache elsewhere on the net.  

Calcium is the primary mineral in all of our physcial processes and it relieves pain.  Try rubbing a little on your gums to test it. of course you can take recommended dosages as a supplement and that may help.
