Here’s How to Use Cloves to Get Rid of Toothache and Relieve Cavity Pain

Do you have a toothache? It’s not always easy to quickly get an appointment with the dentist. And a toothache is so painful! Fortunately, there is still some good news. While waiting to get the life-saving appointment with the dentist, there is an effective grandmother’s remedy to combat toothache.

Why is clove effective against dental pain?

• It is thanks to eugenol, its active ingredient, which gives off this characteristic smell of the dentist’s office.
• It has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic action which helps to reduce tooth sensitivity (while waiting to consult a dentist).
• Using whole cloves for toothache
• If the pain is not severe and you can chew, then try chewing cloves.

Instructions

1. The first thing to do is rinse your mouth with warm salt water (this will help your salivation).
2. Put two or three cloves in your mouth, near the area that hurts, and wait a few minutes until the cloves soften from your saliva.
3. When they are soft, chew them gently (as long as your toothache allows).
4. You will know the oil has been released when you feel a bitter taste and a tingling sensation on your tongue and gums.
5. Once this happens, you can spit out the cloves and rinse with lukewarm water. The pain-relieving effect should last for a few hours and the bitter taste should disappear within ten minutes.

Tips to avoid toothache

• In addition to brushing your teeth after each meal, it is recommended to use interdental brushes or a water flosser.
• An annual visit to the dentist allows dental problems to be detected and treated at a stage that is not yet painful.
