3. Natural Relief for Toothaches
Cloves are rich in eugenol, a natural antiseptic and mild anesthetic widely used in dentistry. Eugenol acts on peripheral pain receptors, helping reduce discomfort from toothaches, gum irritation, or sensitivity.
Best ways to use cloves for tooth pain:
-
Use a mouthwash made with clove oil.
-
Apply a diluted clove tincture to the affected area.
-
Avoid applying pure essential oil directly to gums, as it may irritate sensitive tissues.
