Guest guest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 -Donna, I have heard about the smoke in the ear and have had it done. It did help, but I rarely had earaches and dont have them now. Not the infection kind but I do have the irritated sinus kind. What kind of tooth pain do you have. My left front tooth became very sensitive a few months ago and the gum right along the tooth was sore. It also looks a little dark there. My dentist thought it might need a root canal and cleaned it up a bit and then sent me to the specialist. By then it felt much better and he could find no problem with it. I have a groove on this tooth that leads right to the sore gum area. Most of the time now it feels fine but will act up. -- In @y..., silversdesk@c... wrote: > Well there is one little thing that smoking can help with with the ear pain. > If you blow smoke into the ear, it helps with the pain.
