Toothache

Applying clove oil to the affected tooth can provide temporary pain relief until you're able to visit a dentist. To effectively use clove oil for a toothache, please follow these steps:

• Mix a few drops of clove oil with an edible carrier oil such as olive or coconut oil.
• Soak a clean cotton ball in the diluted solution.
• Apply the cotton ball to the affected tooth, being careful to avoid contact with your gums. It may take a few minutes of application before you start feeling relief.
• Repeat the application every two hours or as needed.

If you encounter any irritation or discomfort when using clove oil on your tooth, it's advisable to discontinue its use.
