EDIT; I can’t reply to everyone individually but thanks for all the suggestions! Opiates are out of the question, doctors here will only prescribe those in terms of absolutely extreme suffering or end of life care. I also don’t particularly feel interested in developing a hard drug habit. Diclofenac and such are available but also only on separate prescriptions, I’d have to visit another doctor for that. I’m well stocked on paracetamol & ibuprofen, and apart from that, lots of ice cream, pudding & soup :)

Also, since a fair few people seem to doubt the veracity of my story, here’s the 22 extracted teeth (the other 10 were already gone in previous extractions).

      I was actually warned against this since it can apparently cause actual burns if the liquor is high proof.

        Lol good, glad you’re getting some good advice. Sorry you are dealing with this op, i dunno what you had to do but i have had a tooth extracted at a dental ‘training facility’ and my body won’t forget that, ever
