Got Mouth Pain? Try Cloves

Do you have mouth pain?  Did you just have a tooth fixed?  How about a canker sore?  You might want to try sucking on a whole clove or two.
Soften the clove up first with hot water if you must and then just put it on what ails you. Go look, you probably have cloves in your spice cabinet. Cloves have anesthetic and antimicrobial qualities and is sometimes used by dentists to anesthetize the gum before injecting Novocaine.

You can also buy clove in an essential oil.  Clove oil is used for an upset stomach, bad breath, intestinal gas, nausea, vomiting and as an expectorant which makes it easier to cough up phlegm.
