The President of the United States is the Commander in Chief, who is responsible for all final decisions. The Secretary of the Department of Defense (DoD) has control over the military and each branch - except the Coast Guard, which is under the Dept. of Homeland Security. Each branch of the military has a unique mission within the overall mission of U.S. security and peace.
You can also try home remedies for toothache relief too: 1  Avoidance - Do not chew on the side where the pain is located. 2  Saltwater - Mix a few teaspoons of table salt in a glass of warm water and swish it around in your mouth as long as you can stand it (but don't swallow it).
Always see your dentist if the pain from a toothache persists. Clove oil should only be used as a temporary way to relieve pain from a toothache. Your best pain remedy is to see your dentist. Sources: The National Institute of Health-MedlinePlus Health Information.
