Got any cloves or clove oil? It can be numbing.

I've got cloves. What do I do with it?

Chew the cloves into a little poultice then keep the clove-mash over the sore gum spot. Cloves have numbing stuff in them.

Oh right. I'm feeling a bit better now and I'm not that desperate yet. I've got medication that can numb if it gets really bad.
