Clove Oil and Oregano Oil for Toothaches and Tooth Pain

Toothaches can be extremely painful. So painful in fact that just the thought of one can make you shudder. The tenderness of the gums, the referred pain shooting through your face, and the raw sensation of the nerve searing in pain are enough to make a grown adult cringe. The typical remedy is to take some painkillers, apply some Orajel, and hope for the best. It usually doesn’t turn out too well.

For those who have tried painkillers and Orajel to little or no effect, Clove Oil and Oregano Oil are great alternatives and extremely effective at reducing and even eliminating tooth pain altogether. In fact, it works so well sometimes that it is almost like magic. Clove Oil and Oregano Oil are natural oils derived from plants and as a result, are completely free of chemicals or additives.

When you are experiencing a toothache or tooth pain, it is usually the result of a cavity or decay to the tooth. Other causes of toothaches include gum disease and your wisdom teeth coming out. Clove Oil and Oregano Oil are extremely effective at relieving tooth pain because they contain analgesic and antiseptic properties. Analgesic properties are numbing properties, like Benzocaine which is the active ingredient in Orajel, but in a natural form derived from plant oils. Antiseptic properties are antimicrobial properties, which help kill bacteria. This is very useful when the tooth ache is the result of a cavity or infection, as the naturally occurring antiseptic properties help fight the effects of the cavity and/or infection. Both of these qualities make Clove Oil and Oregano Oil a formidable opponent for toothaches.

To use the Clove Oil and Oregano Oil, apply a small amount to a q-tip and gently rub it on the affected tooth and immediate area. Within 15 to 30 minutes, you should begin to notice a decrease in the pain or even complete cessation of the pain altogether.

You can find good quality Clove Oil and Oregano Oil in any health food store. Since you are not ingesting the oils or using a large amount, it isn’t an absolute necessity to find food grade Clove Oil, although it wouldn’t hurt if you can find it. One thing to keep in mind is that Clove Oil is a bit spicy and the taste can be less than pleasant. If you have a tooth ache however, this will probably be the least of your concerns.

One contraindication of Clove Oil is that it is a blood thinner like aspirin, so those with certain conditions might want to be mindful of this fact. Once again, this is probably fine since the amount you are using is minimal and you are not directly ingesting it. Nonetheless, make sure to consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

So just how effective is using Clove Oil and Oregano Oil? Very effective. My first experience with Clove Oil came when my mom had a horrible toothache for two days which rendered her unable to even move. She had tried all kinds of painkillers, antibiotics, and Orajel to no avail. In fact, it was so painful that she wanted to cry. My mom has an extremely high threshold for pain, so if she’s complaining about something, it HURTS. I went online and searched for natural cures for toothaches and came across Clove Oil. There were countless stories abound about the miracles it provides for toothaches. 30 minutes after applying a tiny amount to her tooth, her tooth ache completely went away. Like magic. Obviously, everyone’s experience will be totally different, but it is definitely worth a try.

So the next time you or someone you know might be suffering from a toothache, consider giving Clove Oil and Oregano Oil a try. It just might save your sanity.

I wish you the best!
