Clove Oil Uses are Priceless! Just had some experience with toothache and this worked instantly, plus I cut a thin slice of garlic the size of a dime and placed it on my gum for added pain relief. Yes it got hot with the garlic slice, but it works for pain and healing....My tooth was way sensitive to just push on it and the pain was really to much to bear, but the clove oil and garlic did work and in 5 days my tooth has quit hurting period, but I am still going to get it xrayed this week to be sure...
