I think that drinking vodka (or any hard liquor I assume) is actually a suitable DIY way to keep infections away. Not something a person should DIY but anon is dead set on not going to a dentist

Medical student here, do not do this, you're going to kill all the healthy shit there that was stopping infections and promoting healing + tissue growth. Alcohol on any wound is generally a bad idea, movies and grandpas have always lied to us.

When you go to the hospital thats like the first thing they do. (Put alcohol on the woud) well the 2md thing after getting your billing information.
John-Sex@reddit
No, they don't use alcohol mate, and they don't use peroxide either. There are purpose made disinfectants.
T0MATOSALAD@reddit
As someone who has myself treated wounds in hospital, I seldom use anything besides sterile water to clean jack shit. Alcohol has never even been an option for me to use let alone something that I would. Idk what hospital you're getting treatment from but its not right if they doing it that way.
Hotdogman_unleashed@reddit
What is your position in the hospital?
Sapper501@reddit
They're a med student...
Hotdogman_unleashed@reddit
They could even be right. Just curious what they did all day in the hospital. I haven't been to the hospital with a serious injury in about 20 years. Maybe they don't do alcohol on the wound now. I remember when I went, the wound got sprayed, it stung like hell, then a shitload of iodine was rinsed at some point and then getting stuck with a huge tetanus needle.
Sapper501@reddit
Ohhh they probably used a special wound cleanser like Skintegrity. I'm not sure what's in it. Hydrogen Peroxide is also sometimes used, often for animal bites if the doctor thinks it's necessary.
da5id2701@reddit
And then they cover it with sterile bandages and keep it very clean. If you're not in a hospital, you're pretty much guaranteed to touch the wound with something non-sterile immediately after, and the alcohol might do more harm than good in that case.

Would you say that overall reducing all processed sugar / carbs and high acid food would keep teeth healthy? I feel like if that sugar hungry bacteria isn't there nothing is shitting acid on your teeth.
T0MATOSALAD@reddit
Yeah definitely, teeth problems like cavities were much less common in the past before sugar was as commonplace. Carbonated drinks are the worst, they combine both sugar and acidic content which just sucks for teeth.
WorthStyle1288@reddit
The more you know. I’m an engineering student so I know nothing about the human body, but I’m also smart enough to not try to DIY it and see and actual doctor/dentist instead
IronicJeremyIrons@reddit
Everyone says vodka when no one reccs rakja or pálinka which is slightly stronger
mynameis4826@reddit
Actually you probably would need something high proof and with very low sugar content. Clear, neutral liquors like vodka or everclear might work in a pinch, but obviously are not ideal. Anything sugary like rum or schnapps would probably just make things worse.

There’s no root that came out. Hes gonna get a bad infection

Not having teeth causes your jaw bone to slowly shrink. That's why old people without teeth all have that puckered look. If you don't want to fuck your own jawline go see a dentist

anon finds another reason not to socialise
DangJorts@reddit
He could be completely fine but antibiotics would help. The rest of the tooth will migrate its way out of the gum over time
nullv@reddit
Let your tooth rot, anon. You deserve to lose your whole ass jaw to an infection.
Lord_Freg@reddit
He could probably just take antibiotics and be fine
_-___-__-_-__-___-_@reddit
That is horrible advice. You cannot just have a missing tooth.
It will lead to tooth migration or drifting, and when the opposing tooth moves it will eventually cause overeruption.
Which causes other teeth to break which will further reduce occlusal stability leading to more teeth breaking. It’s a cascade basically.
Pitiful_Special_8745@reddit
I found this out the hard way.
Anyway 5000% later all my toot is perfect now
theaussiewhisperer@reddit
The issue with this is small shards of tooth remaining, becoming infected and sealed over, and sepsis taking place. Yeah, antibiotics for sure, but don’t fuck with dentist shit there is a reason we used to die at 25-35 and a lot of it was teeth
ProjectSnowman@reddit
Teeth are always at the top of the list on every “human 2.0” list I’ve seen.
theaussiewhisperer@reddit
Progressive shrinking of our jaw has crammed too much shit together now. Bad patch.
ProjectSnowman@reddit
Some people got the hotfix that reduces the number of wisdom teeth though.
IAmAGoodFella@reddit
Fucking awesome, I love this content
jam3sdub@reddit
Grown enough to drink vodka but talks about replacing a wisdom tooth with a fake tooth???
Naborsx21@reddit
I had the same tooth in the same location taken out just to do it dude. It's most likely free with insurance. Takes a day and then your jaw will feel immensely better Like why not just do it. Most oral surgeons will probably also do it same week.

Medical advice doctors DO NOT want you to know...
