Clove will work, too, and won’t be as sharp and pungent. You don’t want to swallow a whole lot of clove at once, though, so spit it out once you’re done.
Yes, I keep clove oil in the medicine cabinet.
Thank you RC. I really appreciate this information! (and will be filing it away). Hopefully I’ll not need any of it but you know as well as I do when a tooth throws a ‘fit’, it very seldom goes away completely. Anyway I appreciate all this info!
