Most of us avoid the dentist at all costs, but when the grid goes down, or there is another type of long-term widespread emergency, simple dental problems may become severe and potentially life-threatening.
While it is best to keep our teeth clean and healthy and deal with any dental issues immediately as they arise, we cannot predict when an SHTF situation will occur, so we need to be prepared to deal with dental problems ourselves.
Putting together a simple DIY dental kit is straightforward and requires readily available items that you can purchase.
Putting together a kit is only the first step; you also must seek out some training or resources to allow you to diagnose and treat dental problems when your access to dental professionals is removed.
Pain Control
The primary indicator of a dental problem is often pain.
In a SHTF situation, your best strategy is to manage that pain until the situation turns back to normal.

Most commonly, over-the-counter anti-inflammatories and analgesics (such as ibuprofen or Tylenol) are going to be the first things that you will reach for when your mouth is in pain.
Therefore, I would suggest that your dental kit contain both of these medications, but you should also include a jar of clove oil.
Clove oil has been used for centuries to deal with tooth pain. I have personally found that using clove oil has treated my tooth pain to an extent where I did not need to take any over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. All it takes is a few drops on a cotton ball can make unbearable pain bearable.
Headlamp
The mouth is a dark place, and if you are attempting to clean or investigate someone’s teeth, you will need the mouth to be very well lit.
Unfortunately, flashlights require that you hold them or that you have someone else hold them for you. This creates the problem of too many hands in the small area of a human mouth.
A headlamp that allows you to adjust the position, to concentrate light into the mouth, will be the best option. Purchasing a headlamp with multiple settings for the intensity of the light beam is also a good idea.
Dental Mirror
There are many areas inside the mouth that you can not easily see, so your DIY dental kit needs at least one good-quality dental mirror.

These mirrors will give you the ability to see all of the recesses of the mouth and allow you to clean and treat the teeth.
Dental Picks
In a long-term grid-down situation, you will need to become your own dentist and start performing cleanings on not only yourself but your family and members of your group.
Of course, you will need the same selection of dental picks that your dentist uses during your regular cleanings. Fortunately, these can be bought easily online and need to be included in any DIY dental kit.
Gauze and Cotton balls
If the situation warrants extracting a tooth or treating a person with lacerations inside the mouth, you will need a lot of gauze and cotton balls to control bleeding.
In addition, if you are developing a kit designed for a long-term grid-down scenario, you will need an even larger quantity of gauze and cotton balls.
Temporary Fillings
I have personally had fillings fail and resorted to using a temporary filling until I could see a dentist.
These are not designed to be used long-term. Still, they will mean the difference between having yourself or a group member in agony with a hole in a tooth or being merely uncomfortable with a temporary filling.
A lost filling can cause pain, which could prevent either yourself or a group member from working effectively on the tasks required for a grid down life. So being able to treat a lost filling is essential.
Gloves
Non-latex gloves are an essential component of your kit. Not only will they protect your patient, but they will also protect yourself from the bacteria inside their mouth.
As with items like gauze, you will need a lot of gloves to build an effective long-term dental kit.
Extracting Forceps
There are many ways to extract a tooth, but there is only one correct way.
Extracting forceps is an essential part of a long-term DIY dental kit. Without the advanced equipment of a dental office, you will not have the luxury of filling cavities or performing root canals.
In addition, many severe dental issues are going to be treated by simply extracting the offending tooth.
While it may seem that you can use a multi-tool, there is too much risk of breaking the tooth. The best option is to have a set of extraction forceps in your kit.
Face Masks
This is another situation where a piece of PPE will protect not only yourself but your patient as well. As you work in the mouth, droplets from your mouth can end up in your patient’s mouth and vice versa.
Therefore, wearing a surgical mask is an essential first line of defense that you need to include in your kit.
Safety Glasses
Clear safety glasses should be included with your medical supplies for long-term survival situations.
For example, when working inside the mouth, you can get bodily fluids splashing up into your face and your eyes, which can be pathways for disease ingress.
Saline and Syringe
You will need to irrigate the inside of the mouth, so including some syringes and saline will help you do that.

Along with this, you should also have some antiseptic mouthwash as well.
Toothbrush, Toothpaste, and Dental Floss
These items go without saying, but it is good to have a surplus in your kit aside from the ones you have for your toiletries and personal care.
For example, dental floss is particularly helpful to clean in between your patients’ teeth, and you should have an ample supply of it on hand for long-term survival situations.
Dental care is arguably the least sexy preps that we can make but hold the potential to be a cornerstone of maintaining good health when the grid goes down.
As with many things in life, if we take the time to support our dental health now, we can potentially avoid the unpleasantness of post-apocalyptic tooth extraction.

In the first lockdown I got severe inflammation at 2 teeths. The dentist told me to take medcins from the farmacy, that is not what I did want. With 4x a day the first 2 days I did make a cup of tea from a teaspoon tumeric, a teaspoon ginger and a snif black pepper and with every cup of tea I did eat a fresh clove of garlic. Within 2 days the pain was disappeard and I did lower down the tea from 4 till3 till 2x a day and within 10 days without dentist everything was oke. I clean my dents with a pasta of coconut oil an tumeric with essential oils:clove,peppermint, tea tree and kanella. After that I use selfmade monthwater of coocked water with 1 teaspoon sodiumbicarbonat and the essential oils:clove, peppermint,kanella and tea tree. So I hope that this info will help you too!
Kanella? Do you mean Canola? Please explain. I am very interested in your treatments.
Neat info the book when there is no dentist is decent but I doubt that anyone has practiced it. Definitely a a goal would be recruiting a veterinarian.
If you can find a vet why not find a dentist to treat You?
its a prepping site… i would much rather have a Vet then a doctor in my group. They have to study a wide range of animals and various tasks… It would be awesome to have that in your group. A dentist would be nice as well but the people in those fields typically are not into prepping as much as the blue collar sides.
Also Raven is correct in that a Vet studies to be a doctor first. Most animal Vets are people doctors as well. The local Vet recruited me in their circle. Couldn’t say no to that.
I always recommended a full set of dental tools for the stockpile – Where There is No Dentist has a full listing of 3rd World dentistry tool requirements in the appendix ( page 207)

best vendor source I’ve found for a wide range of quality $$$ for the dental tools and supplies is Shop MedVet >>>> https://www.shopmedvet.com/category/instruments-dental
gives you the option for an OK – Better – Best selection process >> wouldn’t chince out on a tooth extractor …..
Very good and useful post Illini Warrior.
But I do suggest having some form of spit-blood suction as well as boiled and COOLED Saline for the extraction.
Pain control is also a good idea during the procedure. Pain afterwards resolves surprising quickly once bleeding is resolved.
i agree Micahelan and Warrior i think its right on par… the idea of trying to get this to work and practice is where i am at… It is better then nothing but trying to figure it out and reading the book will be a tough challenge… I would recommend we practice some of it in a non stressed enviorment to get a good base of skills before you have to have a Oh shit… momement.
My DIL is a dentist. I always tell her we will need her skills to barter with in case of doom. I was a practicing EMT for over 30 years so I have a skillset too. Plus my two sons are skilled in needed areas too. I, literally, have spent hours considering friends’ skillsets to to cover the bases before there is need to know it. Barter will be where it’s at.
Carla,
Nice to hear some rational thoughts by you. I’m a dentist and reading the posts here has me in stitches with laughter.
An inexperienced person doing dental procedures is asking for serious trouble and unnecessary agony on the victim. Yes, victim.
Hey Guys, find a dentist for your dental needs. We are everywhere!
….Carla…always remember that “Steve”…(below)…is a member of The Medical Industrial Complex….(MIC). Always remember that the MIC told us…”two weeks to flatten the curve”, “Masks work”…and “Social distancing is science”. They told us the “Vaccines” are “safe & effective”. Always recall that their industry killed millions through fake vaccines, Remdemisivir, Midazolam and ventilators. Always remember that this is the reason people are hiding out at home, using Ivermectin Horse Paste to solve their flu issues. Always remember that it is because of the lies about testing, lies about case counts, lies about deaths…that no one trust these sociopaths. It is because of people like Steve that The MIC sucks in billions of profit off of this Diversity Genocide. It is not our fault that the MIC is untrustworthy, and it is idiotic for people like Steve to not know that many of us will never trust their kind again. Eventually pockets of ethical medical care will grow in places of freedom. I doubt Steve will have a dental practice in the land of liberty.
don’t worry steve half these fools can’t even package food by themselves without pissing themselves…. but don’t worry they can do your job by watching a few youtube videos….lol sorry you got a much needed skillset and if you happened to be in the wi area hit us up.
….no one is claiming to have Steve’s, or any other Medical Industrial Complex skill sets. No one is claiming to be a Dentist, a Doctor or a Nurse. We are being forced into such a situation by the policies and abuses these people endorse and force upon their patients. If you can find an ethical person in the medical field, by all means use their expertise. But the second they start talking about masks, social distancing, “Covid Rules” and such, we know they are lying to us…or they are Medical Industrial Complex puppets doing whatever the corrupt liars at WHO, CDC, FDA, The AMA …and The CIA tell them to do. No honorable medical person would endorse flimsy cloth masks for virus protection, as it has been know for decades that cloth and paper masks do nothing to prevent transmission of any virus or flu. Any trained medical person would know that even if you wear an N95 style mask, without proper eye protection the virus can still get into your body through your eyes. We all know that social distancing and 18 inches of plexiglass are all Diversity Genocide Theater…so if you find medical people pushing that idiocy…they are lying to you, and playing along with the Globalist’s Agenda. I want no part of that. As far as what we know how to do…many of us are prepared. Whether that is stored food, growing our own food, chickens and canned good, many of us are ready for the next phase of their plan…the starvation phase. Many of us are armed, have stored precious metals, gasoline and other forms of energy to keep us going for as long as we can. I’m not an expert in any one thing, but I worked for US DoD in war zones, forest fires and natural disasters. I have seen up close and personal what happens to a society when The Globalists decide to break it up. My experiences in Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Croatia, Hungary, Serbia, Japan, Korea, Guam…across The US and Europe tell me to never trust the corrupt government and the wealthy oligarchs that are trying to destroy what is, and to implement what they desire. My 30 years as a Federal Whistle Blower, and my winning battles with the corrupt government have taught me to never trust a word they say. If The MIC hadn’t been going along with this genocide, perhaps they would still have some credibility. They did go along, and their word is dirt. If Steve doesn’t get that by now, perhaps Steve needs to stick his nose out from under The MIC Tent, and look at the world he and his fellow “Doctors” have created. We didn’t create the mistrust. We didn’t start euthanizing the people. We didn’t lie about the lab-made virus. We didn’t lie about masks. We didn’t lie about case counts. We didn’t manipulate fake PCR tests. We didn’t lie on death certificates…claiming Covid for Cash from the corrupt government. We are not the ones lying for cash by claiming motorcycle accidents, cancers and associated deaths were all Covid. We didn’t make up stupid rules about who could be open and who had to close. We didn’t make up dumb crap like Walmart and Big-Box retailers staying open and filled with people wandering around in their useless masks, while they shut down Churches and small businesses. We didn’t steal the people’s rights through our lies…The Medical Industrial Complex did that. People failed to realize years ago when they crammed Obamacare through that this was the beginning of the end for medical freedom. Now they control all the billing and cash for medical care, they control the huge medical conglomerates they allowed to be built…and now they control you through your healthcare. I may not be an expert at “canning”…but after 30 years of working for, and being abused by corrupt government I know how they think, how they operate and how very little they care for We The People. We didn’t create that dynamic…The Globalists did. The Medical Industrial Complex went along with it for cash…and because many of them have zero courage. Always remember that.
Surprisingly I found most of the medical tools that I needed for both medical use and electronics use at the local gun show in Tulsa OKLAHOMA. I agree with buying a new tooth extractor though. Most sutures can be bought online internal dissolving sutures and external as well, along with the tools. I would keep the pre sutured sewing needles using either alcohol or boiling them to make them sanitary again. In a tough spot a sanitized horse or human hair and a regular sewing needle would work. Just have to watch for infection. Knowing how to make penicillin committed to memory or a how to book in your go kit is a lifesaver. Just remember penicillin isn’t just moldy bread. You need lemons as well. Colloidal silver and gold can strengthen an individuals own immune system. An old copper pot with an iron nail a piece of Zinc an old piece of gold and silver jewelry covered in water 2 teaspoons into your coffee daily helps your immune system. Ladies who have issues with anemia you will need 6 teaspoons or 2 tablespoons. Same increase if you are helping someone sick/healing from a deep wound.
….for pain relief…always keep Tylenol and such on hand…but if you want to kill tooth pain…stock up on Midol. I know. But 1 Midol, taken with one Tylenol or similar pain killer will stop or reduce the tooth pain much better. I don’t know why….perhaps it is the caffeine…but one Midol and a Tylenol work great.
Midol I never heard of that
I’ve stocked up a little bit on a dark chocolate covered espresso beans which are great for headaches migraines…. But I’m assuming would lead to the need of one of these dental extraction kits.
I believe clove oil would be good too something to have on hand for emergency dental
Clove is great for everyone who can stand up while you treat them. Babies who are allergic to Oral jelly or similar products you’ll need to avoid Clove oil as well. For Babies cutting teeth some type of ethanol alcohol usually Bourbon or Whiskey is a great substitute. It is less than a drop on your finger and you rub it on their gums. It didn’t injure me or my brother because it wasn’t enough to cause harm.
Does anyone have a link to purchase such a dental kit?
It seems like some outfit should already be offering one.
Thanks. Rich

I purchased this kit and took it with me when I went to see my dentist. He stated that it was a very inclusive kit. Worth the money!
Perfect. Thanks.
First lock down molar broke in half no emergency allowed took 3 months to finally to get virtual appointment then 6 months finally to be seen by dentist still would not perform extraction waited 2 more months. all the time i had an abscess that i would pop, yes DISCUSTING. they claim one can die, Living Proof I’m Alive, liver may be shot was downing Aleve like candy 8 a day plus activated charcoal that i make myself, hydrogen peroxide as mouthwash till finally gave up and had DRAGON BREATH yep probably killed the Covid-19 germs before it could do anything. finally when a dentist would extract they said no because my health record says Heart Condition. No More Mr. Nice Guy I Demanded it be extracted, told them what is that paper i sign earlier, signing my life away and you’re okay with it so you don’t get sued yada yada Papers Are Signed. it took her 90 minutes. molar became part of the jaw. told her to break it in quarters. Oh and after the ordeal they never told me about preventing dry socket, i bled again a lot, was about to go to the emergency. googled and what is documented is. when the anesthesia wears off, you start to bleed. but i had a cavern. so i went to 99 cent store got more gauze, aleve and was better the following morning. took me years to like dentist then they pull this. yeah she did a good job just wouldn’t see me again LOL
Try oil of clove in a dry socket or tooth pain situation. Can get it at the pharmacy. Soak the gauze and pack it. It works.
Oh my lord, FVP, what you went through. You’re lucky to be alive after that. Just reading your story made me shudder. Can’t believe that someone can survive that. But you are living proof that we can. You are one tough son of a gun. My heart goes out to you that you had to suffer like that. As long as you didn’t ruin your liver too much it will regenerate. One of the few organs that can. I remember when I had a REALLY bad inflamed.root canal. Made me crazy. On the way to the dentist I ran across some teens putting plastic bottles on the street filled with water so that cars would run over them and make them explode. I just about ripped their heads off. At that point because of the pain I would’ve taken on a rhinoceros and probably won. Normally I’m very easy going. Had to look up Aleve. Didn’t know what it was. Apparently it’s an anti-inflammatory like Naproxen. I know Naproxen. Use it when my back gets really bad. Does seem to help. To stop bleeding after a dental procedure one of the best things to use is gauze and black tea bags. Press them directly on the wound and close your mouth. Helps to stop the bleeding. Hope you’ll be ok. Now you just have to find another dentist. 😉
Thank you for your kind words and sentiment. couldn’t remember naproxen ingredient. been taking naproxen for over 55 yrs. in mexico it’s called Flanax 550mg. i too use it when my lower back goes out, over worked sciatica was bed ridden for 3 months, so it’s my go to pain reliever. Capsaicin HP creme great stuff. others it burns. i love the burn takes pain away. I understand you taking on a Rhino LOL and the boys LOL we grumpy ‘ol men LOL. i use to have a high tolerance for pain, got that from my mother. doctors would say “woman you should be dead” I’m not afraid of needles as long as i can see it being done. i refused a shot at 8 years old for 4 molar cavities became dental chicken. at 20 yrs old i got 12 shots, first one did take efect but my nerves as soon as dentist came back, effect wore off so thats why ii got 12 then we all gave up, female dentist could not remove molar. in my family we a 5 to 6 roots. that molar stayed till age 30. had to go to dentist and wanted all 4 wisdom teeth removed at one sitting but was told 2 is the maximum. couple of months later, removal of all in one shot was the norm. They put me under because of my lockjaw. jaw locked the inexperienced dentist tried to close my jaw so i punched him, was in extreme pain, another dentist came in, massaged my temples and jaw closed. he took over. he said i put up a fight even under anesthesia, i’m glad i don’t remember nor felt it. horror stories of people being under but aware of pain and sound. my wife’s voice woke me up, “let her go” I was choking the nurse. At 45 i saw a banner at children’s dental office “we cater to dental chickens” walked in told them “it’s Now or Never” waited 2 hrs in lobby, it had goodies disney movie was on i was enjoying along with the kids. the denstist. asked dentist for a mirror, he said no. almost walked out, his assistant said he has a good hand so took a chance. from his glasses i saw the reflection and was ok. still ended getting 4 shots SMH. at 3 years later needed root canal but during procedure cuspid broke (my fang) had to be sent to a specialist. 2 weeks wait… Dentist was a big black man, not being racial just setting up the scene. i was admiring him for choice of profession versus “i don’t know…” then i saw him grab the needle, hide arm behind his back and he something and laughed “is it safe ?” everything became slow motion I Saw That Movie MARATHON MAN he walked behind me and jabbed the needle on top of the roof of my mouth while he was chuckling. to me it sounded MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! procedure was done in 3 minutes asked him if i was stitched up, NO he said. asked what can i eat. GO EAT A STEAK. he said it helped the healing process. don’t chew the meat where the hole is, but get the jaw moving, chew on side where hole is but don’t let meat go in hole. i ended liking him. he reminded me of Baron Samedi actor. then my last fiasco during Covid-19. its a Love Hate relationship with Dentists this time only needed 2 shots She did a good job. if would’ve mentioned i would bleed after medicine wore off i would say great job. my front teeth are my pride and joy, molar what nightmares are may of. Peace Out My Brother!
going to be med trained personnel of all degrees wandering the wasteland after the hospitals/med centers are overrun by the rabble >>>> be ready as possible to provide the tools & supplies when you need their services …..
i am curious if people will be wondering all over or just die in place….. A mass exit of the cities would make sense as “the cites are death traps” Also like places where you have to truck in water. Then again most people can’t walk very far either so.
…when they shut off the food and food stamps….people will flee the cities like roaches…and they will try to strip you of everything you have. Be ready, make sure your friends and neighbors are ready…and be prepared to defend what is yours.
@RJ O’Guillory Tend to agree with you RJ. Once no more food deliveries and food stamps they’ll first strip the stores in the cities bare and then spread out into the countryside. No matter how many bullets we’ve stacked eventually it’ll come down to hand to hand fighting. And the non preppers will be very hungry and totally pissed. And they won’t care. Even the most stupid will be smart enough to organize into gangs. Hope they don’t have access to cars at that point. Then Mad Max scenario. Seriously considering getting at least two sets of tomahawks and throwing knives. Thinking of ways to transform ordinary implements into weapons. Like the ancient Chinese did when all they had were garden tools fighting against a dictatorial and tyrannical government. That’s where nanchucks came from. Just a couple of sticks connected by a chain. Very effective. Leaning towards making my own spear from a six foot piece of dowel (1-2″ in dia.) fitted with something like a chef’s knife blade on the end. Like the idea of a long spear. Also considering some of the weapons used during the middle ages like axes, morning stars, quarterstaffs. A sword if I could find one. Even a dull “practice” sword that I could sharpen. Even a manure fork could be quite deadly. Crowbars. Baseball bats with the ends wrapped in nails and barbed wire. Would take me too long to learn how to use a regular bow so crossbow with plenty of bolts. A couple of shields that I’m able to hold. One of those batons the cops use. With the handle. Tonfa or just a simple baton with a piece of metal on the end. If I’m defending myself with one of these weapons I want the attacker to get the idea that I’m serious and if they choose to continue I WILL kill them.
…yes…exactly. Hard choices ahead, and difficult moment-to-moment situations. You can turn away a starving family, or give them a bit to get by…but once they know you exist, and that you have food or supplies…you are going to have to be willing to take the proper action when they come back.
a dampened tea bag with clot the bleeding socket. Im a 40 yr dental assistant. I want to know what pain control you would use to extract a tooth esp a molar Theresa C
i would recomend growing a flower bed of poppies {LEGAL} amd making your own psuedo laudinum {NOT LEGAL} but a GOD send in times of need in SHTF times that shouldnt be an issue
While Michael gives us some good ideas in the above article I wish he would have told us how to make our own fillings. And if you need a filling it means you have a cavity which first needs to be cleaned out BEFORE you can put a filling in there. Which means something like a dental drill. I wonder if a Dremel drill would work too? H’mm. If no other pain killer alcohol is a pretty good substitute short term pain management item. I do have some dental tools on hand but find it EXTREMELY difficult to scale my own teeth. I HAVE tried without much success. I just don’t have enough hands. Extractions would be tricky. I remember Tom Hanks in Castaway doing it with an ice skate and a rock. Don’t know if that would work in real life. Maybe a pair of vice grips and a steady hand? Careful not to tighten the voice grips too much or you risk cracking the tooth. And then it REALLY becomes a lot of fun getting that tooth out. If you’re in the process of getting your own MAG together try and include a dentist in there. There is nothing quite so wonderful as an inflamed root canal. One of the very few things that makes me absolutely nuts! The pain is out of all proportion to the damage. But it’s nerve pain. And a root canal can progress to more serious medical complications if left unattended. A dentist would be an absolute necessity during a true extended SHTF. Dentist. Blacksmith. Shoemaker. Someone with at least a bit of medical training. And of course the most important, a brewmaster. LOL! If the SHTF lasts ling enough we’ll probably have no choice but to become part of a community. While the minority may manage to survive long term as a lone wolf they’re at a distinct disadvantage. Accidents happen. People get sick.
Armin please use dental tools to remove teeth. Not that expensive. Extraction pliers are Right and left hand, upper and lower teeth. the 4 of them, plus a few gum tools are critical for not having a shattered agonizing event in someone’s mouth.
As far as fillings, not going to happen. You don’t have filling materials. A dental drill a water-cooled drill. Heat from a Dremel and such would burn the tooth and likely the nerve. Again, an agonizing situation best avoided by simple extraction.
Good advice, Michael. Thanks! 🙂
Simple dental hygiene before hand, brush 2 or 3 times a day, floss and brush before bed, rinse well once or twice a day with good old brown Listerine, keep your mouth healthy. Basic Prepping to have all this stuff. Brown Listerine kills Corona Virus on contact, all the anti-vaxers from time to time wipe out the supply of Listerine. Covid infection starts in the nasal pharynx, if you could wash out the nasal pharynx with Listerine it probably would save you from Covidia, but nobody is man enough to take the pain of snorting large quantities of Listerine. I couldn’t do it and I can eat a whole Habanero pepper and like it.
I cracked a wisdom tooth on a wilderness trip once upon a time, happily I had a bottle of Tequila with me and found that swishing Tequila around the tooth every hour or two controlled the pain. No lie, the dentist who extracted it had to brace his knee against my chest to get it out. My Dad had great stories about field dentistry in the ETO during WW2, they sat him down outside the medical tent and applied the extractor with no anesthesia and no mercy, just like it’s gonna be after a SHTF of major proportions.
Dentist Steve, there are home kits from a process known as ART – Atraumatic restoration treatment, that allows any non dentist with minimal training to do basic restorations with a high success rate. . Hand tools are used (which every dentist has but never uses as they prefer the high speed drill). Many non dentists could do good dental work with a bit of common sense.
The kit on sale in a link above includes hydrogen peroxide which is good.
Baking soda makes the best toothpaste. Not only cheap but non abrasive and healthy. Medicinal oils such as Neem and tea tree were used in wartime as disinfectants. Oregano oil has good properties.
Dentists are trained to use simple hand tools for restorations but they feel its too time consuming.
As with everything good immunity is the best start.

Hi there!
Has anyone used Colloidal Silver as a mouth wash, swish then swallow; does wonders for bleeding gums. You can also use it as a spray on the toothbrush both before adding toothpaste and later as you put your brush away. When i get to a dentist, I’ll push for the spacer tooth to be replaced. Don’t let them talk you into implants. in the interim, no pain, etc.
BTW, have the book, When there is no dentist. They are luxuries in other places. I also use
When there is no Vet. I don’t have PETS, I have farm animals. Been turned away by pet vets.
the myth of sliver cures….
I have a full dental kit but no Lidocaine which makes the kit near useless. Be kinda hard to get someone to sit still while I pull a tooth without it…Finding it without a prescription has been impossible. One person on here gave a link to a Canadian site where he said you could get it without a prescription….he was wrong.
you can typically take the bottle of Lidocaine that the doctor uses one time on you home… It should have many doses in it and perhaps you can look at the “animal version of the same meds too might help out.
Oil of cloves is a very potent bactericide. It was a commonly used product in the dentists offices before all of the modern dentists. My dad would be 112 had he lived and he was a dentist and had a prep he called dry socket treatment. It was a cottonpellet soaked in oil of cloves and a deadening agent. It was good for many things beside of in the mouth. We used it on sunburns and kitchen burns. He said that is had the ability to kill bacteria nearly as good as pure phenol which you do nor want to use at all. .
