I have not had surgery for cavitation but have had 3 teeth extracted in the last several years. Before that I would get dry sockets. On these last extractions I followed Hulda Clark 's advice and used diluted EPA pure dental bleach to wash out my mouth as soon as possible after the extractions and then several times later. This closed up the wound so there was almost no bleeding. Then I followed her directions about not eating, pureed foods and no sucking. I healed qickly even tho I had been having problems with bruising and low immunity. Clark's procedure came originally from the dentist, Dr. Jerome.
