Holy COW does my tooth hurt...

Jesus, that's an old joke.

 

F that. Drink it down.

 

So, because jgmacg is a smart guy, I respect his posts, and he gave attribution, I just went out and bought some clove oil from the pharmacy down the street.

This is on the bottle:

"CAUTION: Avoid contact of concentrated oil with skin, eyes, mucous membranes, lips, tongue, plastic surfaces or finished furniture."

Um...I'm concerned?

 

I think I'm going to be ill.

 

Vicodin! Yea!

 

I've never seen this dentist. So they wouldn't give me anything.

This clove oil has apparently not passed medical things for use in the U.S. for that purpose. It also has bad reactions with ibuprofen (oops) and can lead to more bleeding if I were to cut myself somehow.

 

This is from WebMD. com:

Lost crown. If the crown falls off, make an appointment to see your dentist as soon as possible and bring the crown with you. If you can't get to the dentist right away and the tooth is causing pain, use a cotton swab to apply a little clove oil to the sensitive area (clove oil can be purchased at your local drug store or in the spice aisle of your grocery store).

as is this:

Lost filling. As a temporary measure, stick a piece of sugarless gum into the cavity (sugar-filled gum will cause pain) or use an over-the-counter dental cement. See your dentist as soon as possible.

The warning on the bottle is there because it's a concentrated spice oil - like cinnamon oil - and is pretty hot, so would inflame your tender inflammables if slopped around.

Just a little on a Q-Tip pressed right onto the hole in your toof should suffice.

And then you can mull some wine!

 

A little yayo on the gums makes it go numb.

 

I applied it as jgmacg said, with a Q-tip in the opening. My right side of my mouth went numb within 30 seconds. It's magic. But it does taste like shit when you actually swallow.

I have noticed that drinking makes it fade. I waited 10 minutes, and it's already fading just from two swallows of Mike's Hard Lemonade.

 

I'm sorry, but the image of this made me laugh really, really hard.

Feel better Drooley McDrools a lot IJAG!

 

Keep dabbin'! It wears off when you rinse your mouth.

So just think of it a Mike's Special Edition Very Poorly Spiced Hard Lemonade.

 

I'm duly impressed with jgmacq.
