Silver Kitty not know Melaleuca oil? Wat do dat be?

My tooth horror story - I had my wisdom tooth out years ago, took two people, one hanging round the waist of the other to pull it out, - 24 hours later I was in casulty screaming in pain - they didn't give me antibiotics when they should have, (I don't like antib's, but I'll take em if I *really* have to) and my mouth went GREEN. (A well meaning friend offered me coke, and some brandy. Refused the former, went for the latter, made it a lot worse..... Jeeze. The hospital said I had neanderthal teeth... roots hooked round the jawbone, apparently. Maybe you and Kaz have same problem?!!

Blimey. Carrot, apple and ginger freshly squeezed would be good. Full of vitamins and minerals, and antiseptic to boot. Not very filling, though. Why can't you use a straw? As long as you don't go poking it in the hole you should be fine, no? Or is it that you can't control where the liquid goes?

My wisdom tooth went out *relatively* well (had to hack it into 5 pieces) problem being that the painkiller was wearing off... do I need to say OW?

I suppose that it's because of the pressure you exert on your mouth to pull the liquid in (does that make sense?) which might re-open the wound... not that it's stopped bleeding, as far as I can tell http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

I'll see if we have any carrots, apples and ginger (what is that in German? Does anyone know? Maybe Ingwer... no that was nutmeg... or? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/conf.gif ) and try it out... I'm rather desperate right now...

If you drink milk, you could have plain live yoghurt. If you don't, soya yoghurt might be good...... Ginger in German..... yup, it's Ingwer all right......... Send your mom out. And take painkillers if you are in bad pain, lady!!!! Unless you are allergic to them!! I always use alternative medicine if I can, but sometimes allopathic is what is needed.......

PS. I wouldn't call having to have the tooth come out in five pieces 'relatively well'. You are obviously a Stoic, Kaz!! Respect!!!

My brother also had problems... I'm not really a Stoic (who me?) but I see that most of you have had it a lot worse...

Problem: I am not allowed to drink milk or eat dairy problems. Otherwise I'd ask Mom to buy me a giant pack of yoghurt or drink a lot of milk (milk is nutritious) but I can just sit here and hope that THIS TIME, mom makes something for dinner which I can eat in less than an hour http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...s/rolleyes.gif

Pointed stick? Oh Oh Oh! Getting all high and mighty with pointed sticks, eh!

Use a......Banana, a much more formidable weapon, I'd say! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Melaleuca Alternifolia: The Australian Tea Tree, so named for the healing tea brewed from it's bark. Later, a way was found to extract an essential oil from the tree, which is usually called Tea Tree Oil.

Sounds like we have similar dentition, o silver one. Roots all curved about the bone, vine-like. Not only go a broken jaw out of the deal, but a lovely hole into my sinus cavities too.

Kaz, the next best thing for an empty tum is peanut butter. Just let it dissolve in your mouth, no chewing or sucking necessary. Fruits will give you the blood sugar you need quickly, but nuts, breads, or meat will give you the full feeling that you're lacking. The caution against using a straw is that the suction can pop the clot out of the hole where your tooth was. This inhibits healing, allows foreign matter into the wound, and could result in dry socket, a condition which is quite painful. Normal drinking and swallowing shouldn't cause you any problems, however. And by all means, take some painkillers if you can! No reason to snob allopathic meds, they are often the most effective when you've suffered a trauma.
Hope this helps, m'lady.

Hey Kaz! Hope you're feeling better! A rhubarb is a red stalk with a large green leaf on top, you only eat the stalk, it's sour, QUITE sour, not as sour as a lemon, but still quite sour, you can mix it with straw- or raspberries to lessen the sourness, not many rhubarbs at this time of year though, I'm currently planning to make a rhubarb smoothie when I get some rhubarbs, possibly mixing in a few strawberries.

Yeesh. that sounds painful kaz. i can't really suggest anything. i've got natuarally strong teeth so i've never had anything done to my teeth.
