Yesterday afternoon was the day. After having some tooth and gum infection, and quenching the infection with very low carbohydrate, high fat diet with extra virgin olive oil pulling, our girl had her molar extracted yesterday. It was a simple 15 minute extraction with Dr. Gaba. Probably local anasthesia plus Reiki and our 5 year old daughter was a calm kid at every dental appointment.
We chose this method of extraction rather than the first offered to us with sedation. Where sedation involves an anesthesiologist with full body anasthesia, which to our mind was adding more danger, more complications to what should be a simple extraction. In fact, if this second dentist wanted the same sedation I was prepared to put my girl fully on raw paleo diet full time and wait for the darn tooth to fall off.
There is a 2nd molar that needs attention as well. It was not touched at this appointment maybe next week.
In the meantime, very low carb diet continues. I’ve got my raw liver ready and waiting in the ref. 🙂
