I am SO incredibly pleased right now.
A toothache came on suddenly today, and it was just mind-numbing, sharp throbbing from the gumline up. Several years ago I was told this tooth may eventually need a root canal, but only if it was ever bothersome or painful.
I bought some drug-store gel with 20% Benzocaine in it, but it just dulled the pain for about 15 minutes. The pain kept reemerging.
I saw all of the YEA's for Garlic and had to test it for myself. Took a clove of it and peeled it, cut it in half and placed the fresh piece to my gums. It burned for about a minute, but for the first time in about 8 hours, I literally have no pain. I'm wondering how long it will last, about 25 minutes now and it's still feeling good.
This is so fantastic. Earth Clinic always comes through. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!

As I am typing the following words, I am also healing from endless toothache. Recently, lost almost everything from house to business and everything else but happy to be with my family! Moved to to another city. Started looking for any job just to earn a living and feed my kids, finally got a job; today the second day and this toothache.... Not now! Came early from work no money to go to a dentist, called few of them and they are asking hundreds to pull it out... All I got was $100 with me and that is it. Suffered severly from the pain and being a man to cry is really bad, but tears come with no stopping... so came across this site and after reading all these beautiful results, jumped to the kitchen and did what others have done, and the pain is gone!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way spend money on pain killers, such as Advil and etc, and the self claimed RAPID RELIEF(SENSODYNE) TOOTHPASTE" please do not waste your hard earned $ on these very useless products".
For now I am 99% pain free and thank you very very much for those who created this site, and all those who shared their pain relief and pain free methods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And at last thank to Almighty God who HAVE blessed us with so many herbs, plants and the nature that houses them!

Garlic does work for tooth pain, I had a filling done a few weeks ago and my dentist said it should be fine yet wasn't 100% sure, and then it was fine up until about a week ago, anyways I tried all kinds of remedies and even stuck a sterilized pin in it to see if it would drain yet it didn't, and so my gums in that area were raw and very sore so the method of chewing the garlic was way too painful but I figured out another way, you can cut up the garlic into a small piece then stick it on a toothpick hold you lips with other hand and put it right to the spot that is most bothersome, it burns yet is much more bearable and it seems the longer it is kept there despite the burn the more effective, I just did it and am basically pain free for the moment:)

After about a week of tooth pain, the pain finally got to me so bad that it woke me up tonight around 2am. After finding EC and using such remedies as Apple Cider Vinegar, Egg Whites and more, I decided that I had no other choice and jumped on the computer to find out how to stop the pain...ah ha! GARLIC! smashed with cold compressed olive oil (for oil pulling thx EC) swirled the garlic and oil mixture around for a few minutes and yes it burned but it WORKED! The pain subsided and I can now go back to sleep. I LOVE EC and thank god for all who contribute here....g'nite

hey guys.... garlic is better then dentist
i was suffering from tooth pain and swelling for couple of days. Went to pharmacy and they gave me Advil .... I called my dentist as i was in vegas and he suggest me to go to dentist in Vegas and to check out and to get antibiotic. Was calling almost every dentist in Vegas there was no luck and in hospitals they were really very rude and hopeless... And then i remember garlic and was checking on net how to use.
i just cut garlic on half and put around the tooth and press for nearly 10 minutes. Be aware they will be pain but in less they 30 minutes my pain gone, my gum open and all passage went off and i got no pain, swelling gone and was like i never had any tooth pain.
hope helps to you too

Garlic and toothache, YEA. I have a terrible toothache where I had a root cannal about 10 years ago, I believe it to be a bacterial infection. The only thing that takes the pain away is raw garlic. I'll chew up a bulb and hold it by the tooth, yeah it burns like heck but it takes the pain away. Works better than vicodin. I am also taking oil of oregano abstract to help fight the bacterial infection.

About two months ago I had an excruciating toothache. At first I could not chew on that tooth. Then it got worse and worse to the point where I could not sleep. Desperate for relief, I came on this site with the intention of trying the simplest solutions first. Nothing seemed more simple than garlic. So I chopped up a clove of garlic and rubbed it on the tooth. Almost immediately the pain subsided! Then I chewed some garlic on that tooth and had a good sleep for the first time in days. Over the next week I chewed garlic every few days. The pain is now all gone and I can chew food normally on both sides of my mouth again!

Garlic actually WORKS on a toothache!!
I've had a tooth that was sensitive to cold liquids for over 3 weeks now. I've gone to the dentist a few times for regular check-ups, but neither dentists I've seen found anything wrong with this particular tooth. Well, it had took a turn a couple of days ago, and it started to hurt when I bit down on it. Near the gumline of the tooth, there was a bruise-like coloring, which is probably where the pain was coming from. I tried clove oil by putting some drops on a Qtip and rubbing it on the gums below the tooth. It numbed it for a while, but the pain came back. I came online and found out that I should put 2-4 drops of clove oil in 1/4 water and use it as a mouthwash. That worked for a bit. I just tried the garlic remedy, and that helped alot more. I took a clove of garlic, cut it in half, and placed it (sliced part) on the tooth and the gum below it. Then, I decided I would just use the garlic to cap it over the tooth and gum. That burned ALOT so I washed my mouth with water, and it felt better. I did it 3 more times, and that bruise near my gumline became a normal flesh color again. I was totally shocked!!! The pain is not there either when I bite down. I'm now gonna try that garlic infused water and rinse my mouth with it. I threw in 3 partly crushed cloves of garlic in a cup of water and boiled it in a pan. I'll be rinsing with it throughout the day. I also forgot to mention that I sliced garlic into thin sticks and used it like a toothpick to get to the gums between the infected tooth and the tooth next to it. It may be thin, but it burns, too.

OMG! I can't believe the garlic on tooth method DID bring immediate relief! After waking up from sleep, my back upper tooth was throbbing so bad tears wouldn't stop. This always happens when my system gets too acidic. I can count on the tooth problem flaring as my gauge to myacid/alkaline state out of balance.
I made myself get to this site, (which I use for everything ), tried the garlic & NO MORE PAIN!
I've used this site for myself, friends, & pets, ALWAYS an excellent source for info. Thank you so very much AGAIN!
May the Blessings of ONE Be With Us ALL!
