Thanks for the suggestion! . And the welcomeCoyote, a simple kitchen remedy to oral issues may be on your spice shelf. It will stop pain if you wash hands, and while still moist, dip your forefinger into your opened chive spice. Rub it on the area that hurts. First, I know it at first tastes awful, but it is an analgesic that within 15 seconds will begin to alleviate pain in the area. The real kicker about cloves is that if you use what's on your finger apply some all over the oral cavity. You won't have one single germ left in your mouth. It wipes out every bacteria, virus, or protozoa in your mouth. Less than 1/8 of a teaspoon is plenty for several applications, but even my worst toothache is better after a second application 30 minutes later. Brush with your regular toothpaste after letting cloves do its magic in 3 or 4 minutes. Freedom from oral pain ends well if you can brace yourself to stand the strong taste of cloves. and it's good to see you here.
