  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My wisdom teeth caused a gum infection that required anti-biotics, this is one of the worst pains I experienced, before the surgery there was food trapped under the gum flap, it may have been impossible for me to reach it and get it out, it decayed and caused an infection, so I got that treated, and the wisdom teeth removed.

I hope to make a full recovery, I am finding out not to drink through a straw, remove the gauze after the bleeding stopped, don't eat crunchy or hard foods, stick to soups and mashed potato's, water, and milk. Rest with head elevated, and don't vigorously swish any liquid in the mouth to prevent dry socket. No intense exercise, make sure saliva doesn't pool up in the mouth, and breath through the mouth.

Reading your post sure brings back memories.
One good thing is that those spaces where your wisdom teeth were are in the back of your mouth, which makes it easier to keep from hitting the areas with your toothbrush.
Praying for your quick healing.

Sorry for your pain brother. I just went through this a few months ago. Not nice. May you be healed quickly in Jesus mighty name! :prayer:

I hope you’re also taking probiotics. Natural ones such as a found in Kiefer and some brands of yogurt, are the most recommended.
i will be taking them, thank you for the suggestion
