⚠️ WARNING: This REALLY does work — but you MUST read the entire post before you try it.
🚫 Do NOT use clove oil on infants or children — AT ALL. EVER!
Babies and kids should NEVER have clove oil used inside their mouths. If a child has a toothache, they need a dentist immediately. Anyone with infants or young children should take them to a dentist through Medicaid or CHIP. Clove oil is NOT safe for a child’s mouth, throat, or airways.
🚫 Do NOT use clove oil on pets — EVER.
Dogs, cats, and other animals cannot metabolize clove oil safely. It can cause breathing problems, chemical burns, organ distress, and severe reactions.
This remedy is for adults ONLY.
Clove Oil for Toothache Relief: The Real-Deal Remedy Nobody Tells You About
If you’ve ever had a toothache — I mean a real toothache, the kind that makes you see God, the kind that makes you want to bang your face off the wall until you knock yourself unconscious — you already know that the junk they sell in stores doesn’t do a damn thing. Anbesol, Orajel… all that watered-down benzocaine barely numbs your lip, let alone the nerve.
But clove oil? Darlin', that’s the one thing that actually works.
I’ve used clove oil for YEARS because we’ve had more than our fair share of tooth problems, abscesses, infections, and “I’ll go to the dentist when I hit the lottery” moments. And if nobody has ever told you this before, let me be the one to do it now:
Pure clove oil is the most powerful numbing remedy you can get without a dentist. (And the dentist doesn't want you to know about it.)
Sadly, most people don’t even know it exists.
Why Clove Oil Works (The Simple Truth)
Clove oil contains eugenol, which is:
- a natural anesthetic
- a painkiller
- an antibacterial
- a compound dentists used for 100+ years
It doesn’t just lessen pain — it numbs it all the way down into the NERVE.
And nothing in the store even comes close.
How to Use Clove Oil Safely and Effectively (This is IMPORTANT)
Clove oil is strong. Very strong. If you don’t use it carefully, it will light up the inside of your mouth like the Fourth of July. Trust me, you don't want that so please listen carefully.
Here’s how to use it the right way:
1. Use a Q-tip — never your finger
Dip the Q-tip in the bottle, then wipe off the excess on the rim. You want it damp, not dripping.
2. Dry the tooth or gum first
Use a tissue so saliva doesn’t spread it.
3. Touch ONLY the exact spot that hurts
Hold the Q-tip on the sore gum or tooth for 5–10 seconds.
4. Expect a burn → then numbness
It will burn, heat up, take your breath for a second, and then go fully numb. The numbness lasts 15–45 minutes. Try to hold your breath during application. Yes, I'm serious.
❗ BIG WARNING — READ THIS BEFORE YOU USE IT ❗
Clove oil MUST NOT touch:
- your tongue
- your lips
- your cheeks
- your throat
- anywhere except the exact spot that hurts
If it touches anything else, it will burn like hell before it goes numb.
DO NOT:
- ❌ swish it
- ❌ suck on it
- ❌ let it drip
- ❌ swallow it
- ❌ inhale deeply afterward
If it hits your throat or you breathe it in too deeply, it can take your breath away for a moment.
If you mess up:
- spit immediately
- rinse with plain warm water
- breathe slowly through your nose until the burn settles
You’ll be fine — but you’ll learn fast not to touch your tongue with it. Lol
How Long Relief Lasts
- About 45 minutes or longer
You can reapply when needed.
Will Clove Oil Fix the Tooth?
No.
IT WILL NOT:
- fix a cavity
- cure an abscess
- repair cracked roots
- replace a dentist
What it WILL do:
Let you survive the pain until you can get seen by a dental professional.
About “Killing the Root”
This is real talk they don’t put on medical websites:
Repeated clove oil use CAN deaden a nerve over time.
Eugenol is cytotoxic — it can kill nerve tissue. Dentists literally use it for calming or destroying nerve remnants in temporary fillings.
So yes — it absolutely can stop a nerve from firing eventually.
Final Thoughts
Clove oil looks simple. But for people struggling with tooth pain, cost, or access?
It’s a miracle in a bottle.
Use it safely, use it wisely, and let it hold you over until you can get real dental care.
And just to reiterate: DO NOT...EVER...use clove oil on babies, children, or pets! Not ever!
Safety Note: I am NOT a medical professional. Please research ingredients, check for allergies, and confirm pet safety. Use gently and at your discretion.
