What would you recommend to ease the pain of a toothache?

Great question from @davidbeckwith!

1. Use thyme oil to clean the surrounding area.
2. Apply 1-2 drops of clove oil on tooth with a cotton swab.
3. If throbbing, take 60 to 120 kavapyrone for analgesic effects (it is derived from kava plant and known to blocks pain receptors).
4. Do warm salt water rinses 4 times daily ( make salt water rinse with 1/2 teaspoon salt with 1 cup water).

See your dentist immediately or find one here or here.
