1. Clove
Clove buds have been used for thousands of years to relieve toothache and is still one of the main ingredients used for soothing toothache.

You can make your own clove oil by diluting 6 drops of clove bud oil into any food based oil like olive or coconut. Coconut oil is a great base to mix clove oil into because you can refrigerate it in small balls so it stiffens. Take a small ball of cold clove coconut oil and put it between your tooth and cheek. Allowing the coconut oil to melt around the affected tooth will help the clove oil have time to soak into your gums. Many pre-made products have Clove oil, our best selling Oil Pulling Mouthwash uses clove oil as an every day treatment to reduce inflammation and prevent toothache. Many products made from clove can be found online like this Eugenol extract.
