Go easy on the clove oil.  It IS capable of making the gum numb, hence
the number of people suggesting it to you.  It is also capable of
making the gum permanently anaesthetic - in which case you will have
further problems. Permanent anaesthesia of any part of the body usually
causes trouble - numb joints are destroyed by malaligned stresses, numb
skin is repeatedly injured and infected, etc. Clearly there is
something wrong with your gums. To use a neurotoxic oil to make the
diseased tissue numb is just sweeping the problem under the mat - well,
worse, as it damages the tissue defences on which any permanent cure
depends. Other essential oils such as ti-tree oil ('tea tree' is a
misnomer) are also quite toxic and should be avoided for the same
reason.  You may have something as common as periodontal disease, and
it may be fairly easy to fix with proper hygiene. You need to see the
dentist, & avoid the oils. If you have periodontal disease, there is a
phase when the gum bleeds on contact with cleaning, but you have to
persist all the same. This is not the same as poking at it. Your
dentist will advise.

Finally, note Bruce's warning - colloidal silver is probably harmless
but also ineffective. Anyone interested in the history of medicine can
read about this as one of the thousands of substances used to treat
infections before antibiotics were discovered. They either don't work
or they're too toxic, which was why antibiotics were revolutionary.
