Since yesterday afternoon I have been in agony with an abcessed tooth. Conventional wisdom says get to a dentist or the ER, get a load of antibiotics and a prescription for some high powered pain meds, shut up , take them, then get a root canal or tooth extraction. Since I no longer subscribe to conventional wisdom and my bank account would not allow it anyway, what are some natural means to control the pain and infection? I have already started using oregano oil, but I am truly in agony right now.
