How to heal a tooth/gum infection without seeing a dentist?

[sage2021]

Someone I know had an infected tooth last week. She bought amoxicillin 500 mg at the pet store for fish, but they are the same pills a dentist would prescribe. They cost $46.00. A whole lot cheaper than a dentist.
Wish me luck. I hope my mouth doesn't start moving like a fish does after I'm finished taking them.

I've just recently heard that activated charcoal capsules (pills?) can clean out any of the toxins and infections in your body but, I have no idea where to get it! I'm guessing Trader Joe's but, I'm gonna have to wait a few days to get over there to see if they have it. I'm told MMS will do the same and even re-grow missing teeth but, we're not allowed to have it, here because it also cures cancer and just about any other disease!

If it’s affected gum I use listerine mouthwash and swish it around for awhile twice a day, usually works for awhile, the amoxicillin will fight an infection but if it’s too deep, it will come back

Amoxicillin in 1L canister? 20x 500mg cost here less than 5$ and it's for humans.
Antibiotic treatment helps mostly just temporarily. If the pain comes back you will need root canal treatment.

You might also try using Hydrogen Peroxide, diluted 50/50 with water. I use it sometime for gum irritation... P. S. I am late this time for my 6 month dental cleaning.

Keep rinsing your mouth.
