I remembered from years ago, but tried it for this anyways.
My stomach felt like it was gonna puke any minute, and my mouth tasted like I ate rotten meat.
24 hours later I gave up and preferred the pain.
As for the syringe, I know about that - did my homework.
Our local pharmacist tried to sell me them little brushes that clean between your teeth!
I live outside a small town of 2,000 - 3 hour turnaround to the nearest city that would have the syringes. It's the same city where I got the surgery done - surgeon would not prescribe pain relief, and certainly did not accept my "diagnosis" of my condition - although he DID admit that having the amount of pain I was describing was unusual -DOH!
I have an alcohol-free mouthwash I use, but regardless, a few hours after I eat - the pain makes me useless for 6 -8 hours. I don't like beer right after food, so I suffer.
Beer helps - the coldness, plus sucking it back and forth over the holes cleans them out.
I'm a beer drinker by nature, but now drinking more than I even want to -
BUT IT WORKS!
thanks a lot doctors!! - more concerned about the fact that some sell their meds for $$,
than alleviating their patients pain . . .
I am not impressed.
