Inflammation

Hello All,

I three gum grafts today. Because of my RNY I can't take NSAIDS. What, if anything, do you take for inflammation? Does anyone use turmeric?

Clove oil is good for mouth pain, not sure about inflammation. It also helps prevent infection.  Just a drop or two should do the trick. 

I use turmeric for arthritis.  It takes several weeks to start having much effect, though, so it wouldn't be of much use to you right now.

Your dentist can prescribe steroids if you need something for inflammation.
