Ingredients
- a bit of whiskey, scotch, brandy or vodka
- ground cloves (2 fresh cracked work best)
- olive oil
Preparation
Step 1
Swoosh a small amount of the alcohol around in your mouth and spit it out.. to both help relieve the pain and wash out as much of the bad bacteria as possible.
Make a thick paste of the cloves and olive oil and gently pat onto the painful tooth.
This will help relieve the pain until you can get to the dentist.
Obviously, this is not for young children and it is not a fix, just temporary relief until the appropriate medical care can be obtained.
