Toothache?
Afraid of the Dentist? Try This!
by Bill Russo
The
reason that I’m making a guide to help you get rid of a toothache is because
like me, you might be afraid to go to the dentist. I’m not usually reluctant to visit a dental
office, but as I write this, it’s the year of the virus, 2020, and for that
reason I really am afraid to go to the dentist.
In the middle of April, I developed a toothache which quickly
worsened. The torture from the aching
tooth was non-stop and the painful throbbing area surrounding the tooth was inflamed
and just as sore as the tooth itself. When the swelling in my mouth began to
distort my lips, I knew it was getting very serious and there was no doubt I
needed professional help before it became even more perilous.
Due
to fears of the Corona Virus I ruled out going to the dentist and thought
instead that I’d seek treatment at the Emergency Room. But while reading the latest statistics on
the number of people afflicted in my area, I decided that the hospital option
was no safer than the dentist.
I
remembered something from a few years back when I was suffering from fluid in
my ears that was so serious that it was not only painful, but it affected my
hearing.
I
went to two ear specialists and neither was able to properly diagnose or treat
my condition. Someone, and I can’t
remember who it was, told me to try Hydrogen Peroxide. The person said to put it on a Q-tip and swab
the ears a few times a day.
The
results were amazing. Within a week my
ears became unblocked and pain free. For
the first time in months I could hear television and radio without having to
turn it up so high that it prompted the neighbors to come banging on my door
demanding I turn my devices down!
So,
in the middle of all that toothache pain, as I thought of how effective
hydrogen peroxide was for my ears, I decided to try it on the tooth.
I
soaked a Q-tip with it and held it directly on the base of the infected
tooth. I didn’t see any hole in it or
any visible cavity, but it had been filled a few times and that old thing more
closely resembled a miniature grave-stone than a genuine tooth. I kept the
Q-tip on the sore area for about two minutes, putting a gentle pressure on it
to make sure that the liquid was getting into the source area of the infection.
Next,
I took about three tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide and mixed it in a cup with
an equal amount of water. I gargled the
mixture for a few minutes and then spit it out in the sink. I repeated the procedure until I used the
contents of the cup.
The
night before employing the treatment, I was in constant pain and slept very
poorly. The very first night after using
the H-P, I was still in pain but it was less severe.
I
continued the gargle treatment the next day and made a fresh batch every few
hours. I probably used it five or six
times during the day.
By
the second night the pain had lessened to the point that I could easily sleep
through the night. In the morning, which
was the beginning of the third day of treatment, the swelling was gone and the
area around the tooth was not throbbing, though it was still sensitive to the
touch.
By
the fifth day of constant gargling every few hours, every trace of the pain and
swelling was gone. It was a remarkable
recovery.
Since
then, once or twice I’ve felt the tooth beginning to get a new infection. A few treatments with the H P quickly have quickly stopped the infection in its tracks while it is in the sensitive, but
not painful, stage.
There you have it, my direct, incredibly good experience with Hydrogen Peroxide.
So, where can you get this wonderful stuff
and how much does it cost?
It’s available in any pharmacy or supermarket for about three to five dollars for a large bottle. It’s also carried by stores like Walmart and Target.
I got
mine at the dollar store (Dollartree) for…..drum-roll…..One Dollar!
