Have been practicing alternative treatments for many years, and I am a HUGE fan of garlic. I use it in cooking quite a bit, but that kills its medicinal properties. I'm going to continue eating it raw, and warn/inform my friends and coworkers about it's lovely odor and miraculous healing properties!

Late last night I cut a clove of fresh garlic in half and mashed it flat with a knife, I put it between my upper gum and cheek for as long as I could stand the sting then chewed it up a bit into the damaged tooth and swallowed it with water (to fight it from the inside as well). I left it 10 mins and repeated with the other half and went to bed as the pain was subsiding enough to get some sleep. This morning I went straight at it again with the aforementioned method and again the pain started to subside, the swelling was definitely reduced but I was getting sick of chewing garlic. At around 6pm tonight I decided id manage to eat soup so I chopped half a clove of garlic finely and mixed it into the warm soup and tried to chew the little bits as I went.

To my absolute amazement around half an hour later I could taste blood, I spat it out and it seemed like dark stagnant stuff so I pressed on my cheek, which was painful but worth it. The swelling completely drained down and apart from my gum feeling a little tender I am almost completely pain and swelling free. I can't say for sure it was the garlic but it's the only thing I did different this time and its been a massive improvement and I believe the people who claimed it worked for them.

At the end of the day it's only garlic so just try it anyway.

The strange thing about this infection is that it only happen around evening time. I usually feel slightly uncomfortable in the morning right after I woke up. After I took my usual breakfast and off to work, I felt better. Perhaps it's what people refer it as the circadian rhythm thing. My gum started to act up usually around 4pm to 6pm, and then it worsen, torture me and last till the entire night until I successfully fall asleep. The pain occur around the wisdom tooth at the left side, and it happen on both upper and lower jaw. I got no idea how tooth infection would be because this is my first, I thought it's like regular inflammation that would go away after drinking plenty of water and cool down my body. As a result, it got worsen so much that I can feel that my face area, slightly below my left ear area, was kind of numb and it's like a needle keep poking into it. There was one night when I feel totally numb and stiff on the left side of my face, neck, and extend to shoulder area. In usual night, the inflammation in my gum is so intense that I felt like my gum is very, very swollen. Both my upper and lower tooth basically has no gap in between if I let my mouth close as usual.

I couldn't take anymore sleepless night anymore and since it's worsen instead of going away, I went to the dentist and the dentist told me it's tooth infection in both wisdom tooth on the left side, so both left side wisdom tooth must be extracted to get rid of the infection. I know tooth extraction won't kill me but I'm the ordinary people that afraid of dentist and tooth extraction. My heart was sunken when I heard tooth extraction. Afterwards, a friend of mine whom her mom also work as a dentist told me that the infection usually start from the pulp, which is the inner side of the tooth. Means my tooth probably has hole or cavity and allows bacteria to infect and attack the pulp. Antibiotic, brushing teeth, rinsing with salt water or with the hydrogen peroxide thing can only relief the pain in gum but won't kill the infection completely. So I was convinced and kind of depress that tooth extraction is the only option I had.

Until I spend more time to search for alternate solutions over the internet and came across earth clinic and this post. Without much hesitation after I read the instruction here and the reviews, I go to the kitchen and grab one garlic clove. Place it between my infected wisdom tooth and crush it. At first it's a little spicy, then I can feel the juice is coming out. Rather than natural numbing sensation, I actually felt unbearable sharp burn and sting. Many reviews said they just endure the burn and sting until the pain is gone, but I really couldn't take it and spit out the juice before crushing it for 3 minutes. After that, instead of the usual gum pain, the burning pain is what left in my mouth. My gum is quite painful because of the burning sensation but I guess it's better than the usual infection pain. I did not rinse my mouth with anything and just go to bed.

The next three day, I don't experience much pain anymore. At the 2nd and 3rd day after the garlic treatment, I even had grilled and fried stuff after an entire month of torture and pain in my gum and I feel so good being alive!

But I was wrong that the infection was gone. Few days later, the same pain is back in the middle of a working day and I got serious headache and I almost on a sick leave. I immediately go for garlic again that night and this time, I crush it for as long as I could even if my gum is very, very hurt because of the burning sensation from garlic, and swallow the juice because I read that garlic can also boost immune system. My gum is more hurt for the next few days, but still better than the infection gum pain.

And then I learn that crushing the garlic with teeth and endure the burning is not the only way. Crushing the garlic with your teeth kill the infection that reside in your teeth from the surface, but actually your immune system also need some boosting to strengthen themselves and fight the infections from the inside. And the world is happen to be so wonderful that garlic provide great boost of immunity too. So instead of biting garlic and let the juice burn my gum, I cut 2-3 raw garlic cloves and add into my oat meal, noodles, salad, and anything I can eat with.

But an advice for eating raw garlic, do not cook them because raw garlic contains of the necessary component we need to deal with tooth problem. Once it's cooked, the necessary stuff will be gone.

Now I'm not completely heal yet, as I can still feel slight pain some time. But I'm free to eat whatever beef burger, fried chicken, grilled pork and all foods that I love without experience the pain that I had previously. And best of all, I don't need to go through wisdom tooth extraction, spent large amount of cash on that, and my tooth is saved. Definitely will go to the dentist soon to check up and make sure everything is good.

So thanks earth clinic and all the wonderful reviews here about their experience in using garlic for treatment.

One week ago on Monday I lost my balance totally I feel my ears were clogged and had blurry vision at this moment I already finished a bad cold that last almost a week, until this moment I had no tooth pain at all. I went to see the doctor and I had some blood test done to check up on the anemia. My ear was sore like burning sensation I had some mild headache, the doctor check my mouth and ask about my teeth I told her that I have the 2 wisdom tooth roots left in each side top of the mouth, she recommend to go and see the dentist and get them out.

Like I said at that moment I had no pain after I got home I start feeling a little swollen in the wisdom left over roots in the right side upper mouth haha, next day Thursday got worst my off balance got better but the infection emerge so I start oil pulling and oregano tea which is amazing to put down the inflammation holy!! I truly recommend it Give it a try, you'll be impressed!!

Then I felt much better and today I got off balance that I felt fainting almost at work. I was scared so when I got home I start taking 2 big raw garlic cloves every 6-7 hours just like a pill, even when the inflammation go down with the oregano tea still sore around the gum so I apply some garlic skin or thin slice and yes it burns you just gotta bit a little careful but it works amazingly!!!

So Angy, I think this symptoms are related to tooth infection which my affect the inner ear.

I would like to know if anyone else got some thing similar dizziness, clogged ears, ear ache, off balance, blurry vision.

Tomorrow I will see the dentist and see if my symptoms disappear after the extraction ...hopefully do!!!

I have to said that I being using garlic in the past with successful results as temporary remedy but you gotta check it out with your doctor because that same tooth that give you problems a some point if still there it will give you problems again even if is after 5,6 or 7 years, they will come back. I thought this tooth was death 6 years ago and now I'm paying the price to not pulled out.

Yesterday, I awoke at 2am with a painful, throbbing gum and excruciating pain whenever anything touched the lower left, filled, molar. I'd also had a headache the previous couple of days which Paracetamol quelled only a little. I was dreading the thought of what was to come, so I tried the Garlic method. I must have gone overboard on the garlic-mash because the burn of raw garlic at one point was worse that the tooth pain! I persevered and, crying tears and dribbling nose, I paced up & down to try to get relief but that garlic stayed on my gums for 30mins before I chewd it up and swallowed the lot. That was about 9am. By 10.30, the burning sensation had abated a little but I noticed less tooth pain and extensive blisters inside my cheek & left side of my tongue, but no throbbing gumline.

I repeated this process again about midday but didn't leave the mash on so long this time but the burn was still evident. Finally, I placed another couple of slivers this time, either side the tooth at bedtime, 10pm and went to sleep. As I write now at 7.45am, I have no gum pain and only a little tooth sensitivity ... and the cheek & tongue blisters ... but none of the intense pain of the previous night AND no headache. I'll continue with the garlic periodically but the method certainly avoided me paying a $6,000 quoted extraction fee (I'm uninsured)!

Thanks to Earth Clinic and all contributors who wrote previously and encouraged me to try the remedy.

I woke up yesterday, 1/30/16 in PAIN! Now, I don't do that.. pain to me is hardly ever enough to make me tear up, but I was HURTING! Tried a hot water bottle, a hot shower, and coconut oil. Nothing worked. I'm one of those crazy people who can't take a pill. I have had so many adverse reactions to medications, I refuse to take anything that is OTC or prescribed. I have severe psoriasis also.. Anyways... I had these lumps on my gums that were killing me! I looked for the best home remedy and came across this garlic thing. I am still wowed!

I ALWAYS have fresh garlic on hand, LOVE the stuff! So, I first started off with the "eat a clove" idea. Uh, NOPE! WAY too painful! So then I sliced a clove in several little pieces and placed them where the swelling was. I was happily surprised to notice that the pain went away almost immediately, after the burn. Then, I put a peppermint tea bag (hot) over the big bump and instantly felt this "relief" of pressure.. then spat into the trash can only to see the nastiness release... Later on in the evening, I had more garlic and way less pain! As I was talking on the phone with my daughter, I noticed another "relief" and had to start spitting, again. The blood and pus were flowing.. it was pretty nasty! I finished the night by rinsing my mouth with a well known mouth wash and peroxide then brushing with coconut oil.

My mouth hasn't felt this great in a long time! Thank you EC!!!
