How can I relieve a toothache?

If you ever find yourself in a situation where your tooth is hurting and you are not able to see a dentist right away, you can relieve the toothache by placing clove oil on the tooth. Clove is a natural sedative for the nerve in your tooth and it will help to calm the nerve down and ease the toothache.

You do not need to drown the tooth in clove oil. Simply take a Q-tip and dip it into the clove oil. Dab the Q-tip on a piece of sterile gauze to remove excess oil. Place the Q-tip on the tooth and swirl it around the tooth. You should begin to feel some relief. Repeat as necessary.

You may also want to take a pain reliever as a precautionary measure. Use Advil or Tylenol at the manufacture’s recommended dosage. The medicine will work throughout the day and evening to keep the toothache at bay. It is much easier than having the medicine wear off and then trying to treat the toothache when it’s at its peak.
