Hey wonderful AWers
Writing a scene in my novel where my MC gets in a bit of a pickle. Captured, she's tortured and eventually bad guy gets pliers and starts for the molars.
My questions:
1) I'd imagine extracting teeth with less than sterile pliers is going to cause infection, right? Say if untreated for 24 hours what sort of complications would that cause?
2) Again, stating the obvious, the pain is going to be incredible. I'm guessing it would be a fair assumption that pain on that scale could cause great problems managing to speak?
3) Immediate aftercare? When she escapes roughly 24 hours later, the dentist would be the first place to visit. What would be the treatment she'd receive?
Thanks for reading. Much appreciated.
