talked to a dentist if you can avoid it, said that it can expand the gum but it misses the target, because I have just a short jaw, and advises to remove a tooth, like the other two wisdom teeth, I have one tooth that not developed yet.

Unfortunately, after two Lidocaine shots I sound like ret*d :D

Thanks :D


For now, I can eat with only one half of my jaw.

My mom also has problems with teeth, just got dentures, my mother prepared me food, like doing herself.
She made me bread with Tatar but it cut my small pieces that can be swallowed easily.

My mom always took care of me.

The dentist prescribed antibiotics, right?

Think of it this way: you have wisdom, I do not.

I never even developed wisdom teeth at all.

Antibiotics? No.
I got a prescription for strong painkillers pills which do not take because I did not feel the pain so much, and I know that these drugs reduce mental capacity, and as I will be building a rocket in Kerbal Space Program with IQ 70, because that probably would have if I took painkillers : D

Besides, I play Tropico 4, a dictator "of the South American" fictional country must have the highest IQ.

I play computer games so do not think about tooth or rather what was left after it, that is, mainly pain but a slight but annoying.

In the US, if invasive dental work, like a tooth extraction, is done, antibiotics are usually prescribed.

I'm glad you're not feeling the pain that much.

Anyway, I did not get antibiotics, I suspect it has something to do with the Recommendation "Polish Medical Society" which sees believes that it should restrict the use of antibiotics as too invasive treatment, and creates antibiotic-resistant forms of bacteria, apparently so are the recommendations of the WHO, once read about it in a popular science magazine :)

They didn't give me antibiotics,just pain pills.If you use a wet tea bag and place it where the tooth was removed it will help it to heal.The tannin in it is astringent and helps to close the wound.An old country dentist told me this.
