How to use clove oil for toothache

• Wash your hands and put a small amount onto a clean cotton bud.
• Dab it gently onto the painful tooth and the gum right beside it.
• Use only a small amount. Neat oil can sting or irritate gums, lips and the inside of the cheek.
• Do not swallow it, and keep it away from the eyes. Replace the cap and store the bottle out of reach of children.
• Always read the label and follow the directions on the pack.

Why choose clove oil for your first aid kit?

Toothache rarely happens at a convenient time: at night, on a weekend, or somewhere remote. A small bottle of oil of cloves can take the edge off while you get to a dentist, and it takes up almost no room in a home or travel kit. Keep it below 30 degrees C, so not in a hot car. Our guide to dental first aid covers knocked-out and broken teeth, which need different first aid.

What it will not do

It only eases pain for a short time. It does not treat the cause of a toothache, such as decay, a cracked tooth or an infection, so the cause still needs a dentist. healthdirect Australia advises seeing a dentist as soon as possible if a toothache lasts more than 2 days or does not improve with pain relief medicines.

Get urgent care for a toothache with facial swelling, fever, or trouble swallowing or breathing. The label reads Poison, Not to be taken, and Keep out of reach of children. Ask a pharmacist or dentist before using it for a child's toothache. In case of swallowing, call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.

Where it fits in your kit

Pair it with cotton buds and simple pain relief in a home or travel kit, and keep it upright with the cap tight. Browse more everyday medical supplies.
