I had a tooth removed, they had to break it up into pieces, a week later and a bottle of tylenol, pain still stands when the tylenol wears off. I asked my dentist, he said dry socket, he put in some nasty clove mash and said that should help. but for the last week, when tylenol is gone my bottom jaw swells a bit, the pain pulses all the way through the back of my jaw and up to my ear. the tooth I had removed was on the top of my jaw.
my dentist wont talk to me, I'm on social assistance ( welfare) so I dont have much insurance, and his quick actions with out talking to me or listening to me. to me it seems he's just going through the motions cause he isn't getting paid much from me... so I hope to find a real dentist here with patience to help answer this question

what is dry socket? what is this clove mash crap ?

and finally is floride good or bad? I know the stigma is that its good for you but have heard other wise many many times..
