clove oil on the gum helps numb a tooth ache until you can get to a dentist.
smells great simmering with an orange slice too =)
If you put a drop on something you don’t want your puppy to chew on, it will deter the dog. It worked great with our collie. I don’t like the smell of cloves and I was glad when he outgrew chewing on shoes, books and whatever else struck his fancy.
