I'd like to, but I don't deal well with cloves unless it's buried in a myriad
of other spices in pumpkin pie or baked goods.

When I was in highschool I went to the school nurse with a toothache. She
saturated a cotton swab with oil of cloves and had me hold it on the tooth
and gum for quite a while, giving me a fresh saturated swab every half hour
or so. It was so strong it literally burned my gum tissue. Haven't felt the
same way about cloves since then.
