Stacy,
Yea, the clove taste is a bit nasty... but it sure does work! That is an old time remedy and it is still used today!
Patients should be forewarned about dry sockets as well as a host of other things ..... that they are not unfortunately. That is often why they end up here!

This was way before I was a nurse.
