FYI-Any essintial oil should not be used full strenght. It can be very irritating.
I'm glad you'll be taking care of it soon. I've been luck, I have never had a real tooth ache, and I've had a couple of root canals. Once, the real bad one was two cavaties that met in the middle, so the infection vented itself so no pressure built up, and I had no pain at all. If it wern't for the taste
I'd never known something was wrong (oh, sure a regular visit would have helped).
