stones/herbs for dental problems?

[amethyst57]

could use extra help while on a long waiting list for a dentist....

are there any stones and/or herbs that help with dental pain, inflammation, and general healing?

Whole clove or clove oil on a cotton swab. Hold the whole clove between your cheek and the inflamed tooth or put a small bit of the oil on your gum. It reduces inflammation and pain and is used in dentistry. Clove oil can be toxic in large amounts so take care.

eta: Clove oil is sold in pharmacies; ask the pharmacist how best to use it.

I second that - it works great. It even works on pets, when you can see they have toothache... !

I don't know much about herbs and stuff but it all depends what you have.What i do is rinse with salt water a couple of times a day to help with the pain.If you have hard liquor i find it works even better but not to drink lol use it to rinse i use JD :)
