EDIT; I can't reply to everyone individually but thanks for all the suggestions! Opiates are out of the question, doctors here will only prescribe those in terms of absolutely extreme suffering or end of life care. I also don't particularly feel interested in developing a hard drug habit. Diclofenac and such are available but also only on separate prescriptions, I'd have to visit another doctor for that. I'm well stocked on paracetamol & ibuprofen, and apart from that, lots of ice cream, pudding & soup :)

Also, since a fair few people seem to doubt the veracity of my story, here's the 22 extracted teeth (the other 10 were already gone in previous extractions).

Lol there's even people accusing me of making it up or going to an illegal dentistry.

If you really want I can post pictures, but I warn you; they really aren't pretty. I suppose I could also post the two or three pages of "aftercare" I got.

All in all, it seems a case of "This hasn't ever happened to me, and it's not my experience, so therefore, it can't have happened to anyone, ever". Whatever floats your boat.
