From gum pain to death- an Arlington tale.

Sometimes the people of Arlington aren't sure where they can buy a particular product and so they turn to the A-list for help.

"ISO clove oil for use as a dental anesthetic.

Tried CVS, Walgreens, GNC and VitaminShoppe (VS has one variety, but it seemed specific to aromatherapy).  Even went by what, apparently, is no longer Arlington Health Foods.

Looking to purchase nearby, not online.

Suggestions?  (Also, hints on safe and proper use?)"
NAME REDACTED


This lister was very helpful and answered the question.

"I was able to find some at CVS (I think the one near the high school)
last time I had a toothache.  It was in the aisle with other tooth care
stuff, but you have to read the packaging carefully.  The small brown
bottle didn't say "Clove Oil" on the label, but that was the main
(only?) ingredient in the one I found.  I can't remember the name, and
I'm not at home now to check.

There are directions.  You can use a Q-tip or small wad of cotten held
with tweezers to apply.  It's very effective ... for a short time.
Eventually, you have to see the dentist."

This lister predicts death.

"The sooner the better. Your teeth are very close to your brain.
Infection can travel. And yes, you can die of a toothache. (Granted, it
generally takes awhile.)"
