Leo, The following is what I used to control an infected tooth for 4 years. Buy a 6-volt lantern battery at a hardware store. Take a 3-foot length of lamp wire, strip off two of the ends and attach them to the battery (or put alligator clips on the ends so you can attach and unattach them). Strip off about 1-1/2" of the other two ends. Wrap them in 3 or 4 layers of cotton/flannel cloth, wrap some thread tightly around the cloth and tie the thread tight to hold the cloth on. Dip the cloth-covered ends into some lightly salted water (or try just tap water to start). Lay the two cloth-covered ends on either side of the infected tooth. Leave on for 10 minutes, then switch sides (alternate polarities). Switching sides also prevents gum soreness. If you can't feel anything, add more salt to the water to increase conductivity. It should never hurt or sting, but if you can feel a tingle, you know it's doing something. I did this for an hour at a time. Usually, the infection was gone by the next day. Whenever it would return, I would do it again. Eventually I had it pulled rather than do the root canal. The battery didn't resolve the infection, but kept it under control. There are safe alternative to a root canal, but they are expensive and you must find a dentist aware of them. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
