Tooth Aches

Mom had a very bad toothache on Monday and Tuesday due to a lost filling in a molar at the very back of her mouth. Eventually the pain was so bad she had to have it removed on Wednesday. She's doing better now that the pain is gone.
During the two aching days, she researched a bunch of different natural pain relievers until she could get an appointment. Most of them work, (and in pain, you will try them all), but the best was swishing Vodka around and spitting it out, then rinsing with salt water.
