Vanilla for toothache

Submitted by JoAnne Mery

A toothache remedy that has been in our family for generations is.. add a few drops of vanilla flavoring (pure or artificial) to a Q-tip, or cotton ball, and apply to the tooth and surrounding gum area for a few minutes. Works great.

When I first read this suggestion, I was skeptical but much to my disbelief...it actually worked although it was only temporary. Thanks for the suggestion!
