Seriously?! Prescribed Ice Cream for Tooth Pain

I stroll into the dentist's office, jaw throbbing like I just went 12 rounds with Mike Tyson, hoping for some solid advice or pain relief. What do they suggest? "Just eat ice cream; it'll numb the pain." Seriously?! I'm in agony here, and you're out here serving dessert tips like it's a backyard barbecue. Anyone else ever get the feeling you’re in some alternate medical universe? Why do we even bother asking professionals when Grandma's home remedies work better and are less mind-blowingly absurd? #HealthcareHorrors #WTFMedicine #NumbWithIceCream
