Never heard that. I use clove oil. 2-3 drops to 6 drops of canola, or veggie oil.

That'll numb it.

Well 11hrs of work down today, and at least 2 more to go. Yey.

I feel ya.

I worked Saturday 0630 until 0030, then 3 hours of fitful sleep and another 4.

Tried to nap a little Sunday afternoon but it was futile.

Used to be a time I'd work 30 hours straight, on my feet. Can't do that shit anymore. Though I have done one or two 24 hour jobs (remote work) this year.

Yep 30 hours. Perfect work day.

The best job i had was working 12-1, with an hour for lunch.

Man, a mostly liquid diet and none of it alcohol.

Many a decade ago the remedy for tooth aches and other dental issues, was to rub whiskey around the irritated area.




Just saying.

Yep 30 hours. Perfect work day.

There was a day when I worked 3 doubles back-to-back (16 hours on, 8 off, for 3 days straight) which gave me 8 hours of OT every week. I would catch up on sleep on day 4 and then worked the next 3 days out of my apartment doing desktop publishing. I also used to be able to work for 48 hours straight without sleep, but now I'm too old for that shit.

When I had my wisdom teeth removed I had dry sockets. If I had food in there they would ache something fierce. Rinsing the food out with warm salty water worked wonders.

Hope you can get some relief and some sleep tonight!

Thanks, I think I'll be able to sleep. Face is starting to swell though.

He must have really done a good job on the root canal last time, because I took a single Vicodin after the surgery and everything felt fine after that. This is a different deal. I got enough meds that it's way more tolerable and I'm not ready to go off on the smallest thing. Feeling much better now. Thanks for the well wishes so far everyone. Between trying not to laugh during the surgery (I had a funny thought), I was just thanking God that I didn't have to go through this in 1820 or something.

You have bad visions of someone standing on a stool, yanking a few teeth with a nail puller?
The only thing done differently in 2019 is. Cleaner offices, pain numbing injections and the tools are sterilized.

Todays advancements are interesting. They snap an x-ray and see it immediately. Back in the 60's and 70's they take an x-ray and it would be another 10-15 mins in the chair while they developed the film. Weighted down by who knows how many pounds of a lead apron.

Either way a root canal is no fun, or is have a few teeth pulled.
