just wondering... I have had gum surgeries.. root canels.... abcesses.. and my nerves cut in my jaw...

I go to a specialest now.. that has.. a different kind of machine... and it doesn't hurt as much.. as it used to... not during.. and not after...

Having my teeth cleaned.. brings on TMJ pain for a couple of days...

so I go all out.. to avoid "THE PAIN".. as I call it...

so... just wondering.. if for the other 2.. there might be an alternative.. like.. the specialest I go to??

and.. also.. now.. all dental.. work.. I start antibodtics first.. before it is done...that also... "cuts down the pain"...

they also say.. and it is true for me.. with dental work.. that taking a very low dose pain pill BEFORE... the pain.. gets very bad.. is more effective.. and.. so you end up not having to take as much in all..

so.. if you were to take a 1/2 pill... as soon as.. out of dentist.. then... every 4 hours... 1/2.... it wouldn't be alot... of medication.... but might keep the pain more tolerable....and be effective.....

my son.. also.. at a young age.. had surgeries on his gums.. and teeth... so... that is what... we learned..

just want to help (((Muffy)))... not hurt..
