I’ve never heard of this! I would call my dentist, take some tylenol, and get some Anbesol until I could get in to see the dentist!

I would run out to the pharmacy and pick up some toothache medicine after I called my dentist. Oil of clove is a temporary solution, tylenol is better.

never heard of cloves treating toothaches !!! why dont u ask the pharmacy buing from (obviously dont ask the grocery).. all i can think of with cloves is indian curry !! try an analgesic (pain reliever) it should work better i think

im guessing ur talking about temporary relief, cos cloves aint gonna fix it if its long term……if so, roll some vodka around ur mouth, see a dentist in the morning(hes probably gonna think ur a wino tho) best thing i found for temporary relief, other than the secretary the agency sent, was chewing on a paracetamol…if that doesnt work, ur screwed

If you put oil of clove on a tiny cotton pellet (I can’t remember the trade name, but there is a company that sells it in a small bottle with cotton pellets and a small tweezer), and if there is actually a hole in the tooth where the tooth has broken or a filling has fallen out, you can press the oil-soaked pellet into the hole and not much will leak out. The oil of clove will actually gradually kill the nerve in the tooth, and you will not have pain. You will not get the same results from whole cloves (oil of clove is actually clove leaf oil). If you are suffering from a lost filling, there is also a temporary filling which is clay-like, and you can press that into the space left by the missing filling to protect the tooth and relieve pain until you can get to a dentist.
If there is not a hole in the tooth, neither remedy is really going to relieve the pain. All you can do is take painkillers until you can get to the dentist. Sometimes either very hot tea or very icy water will “shock” the nerve and kill the pain until the tooth “re-tempers.”

Ok. If there is anything I can help you with, it is a toothache. They can be worse than labor. You ned to buy one of those little toothache kits. They are very inexpensive. The cotton balls are miniature and the stuff you put on the that they supply in the box has oil of cloves in it. You can make some warm STRONG clove tea and squish it tenderly in your moust to numb it. Lastly, baby Numzit works well for numbing. Don’t let it go too long. Get to the dentist so you can keep your teeth. Good luck and God bless.

if you take them and ground them up to powder, don’t chew them , you have a tooth ache already.

Why not try taking IBU Profen – you can get it from Pak n Save and it’s under $3. My partner had two wisdom teeth taken out last year and he used this – he was pain free for up to 5 hours before it wore off and you had to take some more. Also, drinking water with a little salt stops infection.
