Salvation for unpleasant stabbing toothache is found in cloves, a spice with a sweet-tart taste that also has numerous healing properties.
Cloves, namely, contain eugenol, a powerful anesthetic and antiseptic that stops pain and at the same time cleans the mouth and has been used since ancient times to eliminate bad breath.
There are three ways in which you can get rid of toothache with the help of cloves.
1. Clove powder
First, rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Take a pinch of clove and place it on the gum near the tooth that hurts and between the cheeks. Wait a while and the home remedy for toothache should show its power.
2. A whole clove
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Take two or three cloves and put them in your mouth near the area that hurts and wait for them to soften a little. After they soften, chew them gently (as much as the toothache allows) to release more of their medicinal oils.
3. Clove oil
This is perhaps the most effective way to use cloves against toothache.
What you need:
- Oil of cloves
- Ear sticks or cotton balls
- Half a spoon of olive oil
Type of use:
Rinse your mouth thoroughly with warm salt water. In this way, you prepare the gums, which, cleaned in this way, absorb oil better.
Mix a few drops of clove oil with half a spoon of olive oil. Soak a cotton ball in the oil prepared in this way and place it on the painful area, pressing gently. In order to access the painful area more easily, you can also use an ear stick. Dip it in oil and place it directly on the gums.
Keep in mind that this is only a quick and short-term way to relieve pain. Do not delay going to the dentist, eat less salty and sweet food, and brush and clean your teeth regularly, reports Nezavisne.
