Goldenseal is often touted for its antimicrobial properties, primarily due to its active compound, berberine. While it may have some antibacterial effects, there is limited scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness specifically for treating tooth infections. It's essential to consult a dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment, as tooth infections typically require professional care, including antibiotics or other medical interventions.

Mass spectrometry used for drug screens. It is my understanding that the government is testing chronic pain patients for the use of golden seal etc. Is this true that this is a government mandate?

The reason you look for golden seal is to see if the subject is trying to hide illegal drugs--specifically marijuana. (Which doesn't actually work, although some people seem to think it will.) If you've got an Oxycontin prescription and you come up positive for Oxycontin, golden seal and nothing else, they will be okay with it. Is the golden seal working for you? I've heard it's really good for pain.

How can you pull out your tooth if its stuck in between two other teeth?

The root surfaces will detach on each side at different times. You should not pull on a loose tooth until the root separates or you may cause an infection (or the closing of the gums over the following tooth). Generally, gripping the tooth with a cloth and lifting will work eventually. Do not try to force it sideways, as this could injure the gums or even misalign the permanent tooth.
