Re: Mind's Eye Re: Peer Networking

Being a sucker for punishment when my wisdom tooth was ground and picked
out I smoked and drank a large fountain drink, it only took me a week of
dry socket to start thinking creatively. I used one of those little
brown bottle Liquid Skin over-the-counter treatments, it may have
contained clove oil (that is what I wanted at the time but would've
settled for anything), put a good gob on a q-tip and smear it in there.
The alcohol gave instant relief to the inflamed bone and a protective
coat, the healing went fine from there, not sure how it would do on
cavities. This is NOT medical advice, YMMV. ;-)
