I am so glad I got into snuff taking. Life saver in more ways then one! I’ve been maintaining very nicely with snus for several months now and the snuff has introduced a wonderful new level of variety and sensations. Had all my (remaining) upper teeth removed today and got some dentures So ya gotta know I’m still in the pain stage of life just now. Think baseball bat meets face kinda pain. Also, no snus for now, salt and multiple extractions, nope. Still can’t figure how some of ya’ll manage 4 grams or more a day but I do know I’ve put up a huge amount of snuff today in order to make up for the lack of snus. And am I ever glad I had it available!
Wow, OTD! I remember your opening posts here on the forum. It’s great that you’ve been able to get a little house in the snuff village and can now really enjoy it, too. Getting your teeth knocked out? Gee whiz! Do you still smoke? I think the most I’ve ever taken in one day has still only been a couple of grams- part of me wonders if my nose is too small or if there’s just a whole lot of tissue blowing involved, haha.
I knew an old German butcher who, when he cut himself carving up apiece of meat, would pour salt on the cut and pound it in with his fist. What I’m saying is, maybe snus will HEAL you,BRother! BE HEALED! 
(You know you want to try it, OTD!LOL!!!) btw, a portion may fit nice and snug in your extraction area?. When I had wisdom teeth pulled, I made the mistake of smoking right after. Don’t like the ‘dry sockets’! Seriously, Hope you feel better though, Bud, and make it through.
“a little house in the snuff village”, that’s a very nice turn of words Kiestraak. I’ve a good foundation started on that little house for sure! Yes I do want to pop in a snus portion Bart but I’m still holding off. I’ve been self-medicating with VO, ibuprofen and Vicodin, was actually pretty happy last night! Did give thought to the “healing miracle” aspect of salt. No. I can wait a bit longer (-; The snuff I’ve acquired to date is almost entirely all based on what I’ve read from posts in this “snuff village”. Thanks to all for the insights and information! I’ve had individual tooth extractions in the past when I was smoking and the act of sucking on a cig was problematic for sure. I wouldn’t have had a very good time of it at all this go 'round if not for the snuff!
i had a really bad toothache ( ludwigs angina ) even taking 8 headache tablets wouldnt take the pain away . funnily enough smoking cigarettes was the thing that calmed it
Ouch. Sorry to hear about your pain. Hope you heal up quick. Maybe try some clove snuff? I know clove oil is good for toothaches. It probably won’t do anything but if you psych yourself out there’s always the placebo effect.
Just back from the dentist, all is healing nicely. So I’ve a General Wintergreen going right now, lower lip for now, but what a relief! Thanks for the thoughts spyro, but this is way beyond clove. VO, ibuprofen and Vicodin are still the order of the day (-; For those of you who have gone before me in acquiring dentures, I salute you! What a bother! Those of you still with all your natural teeth, damn, do what you can to keep 'em! lol
Hope you are feeling better soon, OTD. Just a word of caution if I may offer one. Be careful with ibuprofen. The Drs. said it was the main cause of my stomach ulcers. Now healed, they did land me in the hospital for a couple days and it broke my bank to be sure. If you can manage with Vicodin and VO alone, it would be better for your stomach. Heal up fast!
Understand 'bout ibuprofen stitch. Long term use is known to be problematic. VO is a helluva lot more fun!
