PART TWO: GETTING WELL AGAIN
has already started. Water picking never dislodges the healing
clot, only strong suction or infection dislodges it.
Continue taking the supplements described above.
If pain increases instead of decreases on the second day,
you have an infection. Water pick continuously for an hour! If
the pain subsides, the infection has cleared. Water pick until the
pain is completely gone. It could take four hours!
On the third day you may drink blended food (particulate);
do not try to chew solids. Water pick after each meal. Floss the
front teeth and brush them with white iodine or colloidal silver
(hydrogen peroxide is not strong enough).
Continue taking the supplements described above.
If the pain level is increasing and water picking has not suc-
ceeded, you must hurry back to the dentist to search for food
particles. He or she will open the wound and clean it out again.
Continue to hot pack, hot swish, water pick, floss, brush,
and take the supplements for one week. If you detect an odor
from your mouth, at any time, it is Clostridium making a come-
back, even without pain. Try water picking for a half day, if that
doesn’t help, hurry back to the dentist. Assuming no problems,
however, you may reduce the supplements by half and stay on
them for three more weeks.
If your dentist carefully cleans the sockets and rinses them
by squirting Lugol’s solution into them, and if you are doing the
Dental Aftercare program conscientiously, you will not need an
antibiotic or extra pain killer. This conclusion is based on over
500 cases of dental work, all free of antibiotics and infection. In
every case of failure (infection), trapped food particles were the
cause.
