Tooth Pain Tip

[Jack]

I wasn't sure where the best place to put tjis tip would be...but I wanted to share it with you guys. In case any of you ever get a bad tooth, and aren't able to get relief from it "soon enough". My wife heard on some new show called "The Doctors" that rubbing cayenne pepper on your gums, around and on a bad tooth, will greatly reduce the pain. I can tell you, from the past few days' experience...IT WORKS!!!

IMO there ain't much worse than the pain caused by a bad tooth. And if it hadn't been for the cayenne pepper tip....I would have been in BAD shape the past few days.

Thanks for the tip ;D
I have heard that cayenne pepper is good for a lot of things. How about jalapenos? cause I eat those things by the fist full all day long.

This makes me think of a funny story of when I was a kid.

I always seemed to have a tooth ache when I was little. I didn't get a whole hell of a lot of attention from my parents so hygiene and whatnot kind of went out the window... kinda like my schooling.
Anyway...
I was always trapping something even though I lived in the city. I just wanted to be a trapper no matter what. All the houses were butted so tight up against each other that my neighbors would always see me skinning something in the back yard. Squirrels, skunks and whatever roadkills I could get because I couldn't catch a fur bearer if my life depended on it. Well my neighbors mother was all worried and didn't want her son Lee hanging around with me because I was probably crawling with rabies and ticks and s**t from all the critters I was skinning. Lee assured his mother that I didn't have rabies and was able to come over as long as he didn't play in the blood puddles I created.

Well I had a tooth ache something awful one day and someone told me to put an alka seltzer against the tooth and let it melt and it was sure to ease the pain, so I did. A little later Lee's mother came up to the fence to talk to Lee and I went with him. Well she took one look at me in my dirty and bloody clothes and foaming at the mouth from the Alka Seltzer and got into a panic. She started screaming at Lee, telling him to get in the house right now and get away from me. Later she called my parents and we all got a heck of a laugh over it

I had totally forgotten about that until you mentioned the tooth ache remedy

The best thing to put on that tooth to relieve the pain is clove oil.

JC...The Rabid Trapper!!! That's too funny!



I tried clove oil several years ago and it definately did help to relieve the pain. At least the pain was bearable anyway. Might be different, depending on the individual, as to how well something works??? But for now...I'm sticking with the cayenne pepper and Vicodine for back-up.

I can remember as a kid that was a common form of relief.

The kit included cotton balls, special tweezers, and clove oil.

Well it's either clove oil or a good bourbon! Maybe both!!!

[bigjim]

Cinnamon and /or clove oil will get rid of tooth aches. They both make good beaver call too!!

Nice to see SOMEBODY has a sense of humor

Man I can't picture putting ben gay in my mouth. In fact... I don't even like using the words "gay" and "my mouth" in the same sentence

When my father inlaw was alive, he use to spray WD-40 on his knees when they would start to ache. True story!

I know an old mechanic with severe arthritis in his hands. When they are really bothering him, he sprays WD40 on them and rubs it in like it was a moisturizing cream. ;D Says it's almost instant relief.

another way to relief tooth pain is to take the juice from a cattail stem and rub it on your tooth.
its in one of my wild edible plants book

Never heard of that.
Hey nbtrapper, what edible plant books ya got? have any by janice Schofield?

[TRAPnHUNT]

Every Spring I cut the young cat tails and chop them up. After doing so, I mix it in with a salad. They do add a good taste to any salad. Just made sure that you get the young ones if you are going to try this.

[nbtrapper]

hey jc the book i got is called identifying, harvesting and using wild plants of eastern canada. it is by Marilyn Walker

[redman]

Don't laugh about the WD-40. I use it as fish attratant on crappie jig and catfish bait. With arthitis in my hands I got in on them and they did start to quit hurting. As a fish attratant WD-40 is about the best I have found and Cheap if you buy the gallon size and use your own spray bottle. Never go fishing with out it.

As far as tooth ache medicine It's clove oil and a asprin on the tooth. I follow that up with a good shot of Scotch.

Not only have I used clove oil for a tooth pain but I also use mulberry leaves or a brown paper bag for cuts if I dont have a bandage handy.
