Excerpt from the Book "Home Surgery: The Do's and Don'ts" By Moana Whines
- T is for Tooth
Your teeth are located within the mouth. They are hard and used during the eating process to shred or tear the material placed between them via skillful maneuvers of the tongue. Sometimes they are used for extra-masticatory nibbling. If you begin to experience a pain around or near your teeth, this is sometimes related to a problem with your teeth.
- G is for growing pains and M is for made-up.
If your face begins to swell, and the gum becomes inflamed, engulfing you in a nauseating pain that causes you to become an ogre with a short fuse and a partial speech impediment, there is a problem with your teeth; not your imagination.
- Home remedies:
- Leave it alone until growing pain subsides. High fail rate.
- Take Ibuprofen. A drug designed to relieve pain but taken with the intention of curing a deadly infection. (Gum infection has not been deadly in the country of your residence since 1912). High fail rate.
- Proven cure:
- Dentist. Then Doctor. Then Dentist again for soothing reassurance. Week of (life saving) (since 1912) antibiotics and time off work.
