★★★☆☆
BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
Use garlic carefully. It may burn skin if you keep it in direct contact of skin for long time. I accidentally burned my cheek and jaw though tooth ache was gone. Now my cheek and burn jaw is burning like a hell.

★★★☆☆
BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
I chewed thin slices of a clove of raw garlic for at least ten minutes for a tooth abscess/gum infection. It burned a lot, but I wanted to get the full benefit, so I kept at it. The upside is that the tooth pain went away. The downside is that within the next 5-8 hours I developed areas inside my mouth that seemed scalded (like from drinking too-hot liquid), and blisters all over my gums and cheeks inside. It is the next morning, and my mouth is a mass of blisters.
When you use raw garlic,do be more cautious than I have been! After this heals up I'll try a much gentler solution and probably will never chew on a raw clove again.
