Thanks for the fantastic intelligent replies and suggestions! Some I have been doing. Someone suggested Black Seed oil to use topically as well. I’m thinking to try gerry rigging a castor oil compress to stay on all night.

Forgot to say it’s a molar, #31. Had the initial work done by a dentist in La this past Summer, supposedly world (realm?) renown . Seeing a different dentist here in Seattle. He prescribed the antibiotics today and recommended extraction asap. Too large of a filling for the tooth to support a crown after root canal which I will not get anyway.

I feel it’s healing, but unsure what risk to take in not taking the pharmaceutical (to destroy my gut flora while still needing an extraction), continuing with my protocol plus some, and trying to delay, or prevent altogether extraction if possible. Only a slight dull ache now in the area. But can less pain in the tooth now indicate now dead pulp inside? I trust my body’s ability to heal. I hear it’s not as certain with dental infections though.

More. Not extremely painful. Less today than two days ago. Dull ache. But spoke just now with dentist and recommended to take antibiotics and have an extraction for this. I avoid antibiotics, and I already have a space from an extraction last July on the other side. All dental issues stemming from childhood- given antibiotics too often. ?

I came across this thread while sitting at my homemade desk contemplating eating some special mushrooms today.

I don’t do phone stuff in my forest outings except to take photos. If I bring it at all, just for that reason. And when I don’t I often miss an amazing shot. Like last week when two Cormorants were standing on part of a submerged fallen tree at the lake and made perfect reflections below them! Dang.

I love all these ideas! I also haven’t the resources and would live to join and contribute to something already existing. Especially an herbal business for food and medicine.

I’m in Seattle. Close to desperate to depart from this city although I love the Pacific Northwest as a wild harvester and hiker.

Thanks David! I will ask for copies of x-rays of that tooth. Would love to chat further. I suspected this may have been triggered by the recently replaced amalgam to composite filling being too high.

The link you put leads to this exact page.

Thanks Hulda! There are pressure cracks in the tooth. from the large filling and evidently I clench and grind at night. Gee would have gone in for a night guard decades ago if I knew.

I do use sea salt in natural spring water I collect for a rinse. I keep that in the bathroom and just use that to rinse. And the rinse I made with food grade 3% hydrogen peroxide with several essential oils beneficial for dental health. Plus all I added to my protocol to resolve this.
