Accompanied Alvin to the dentist this morning.
Did you know? You can dilute a few drops of clove essential oil in carrier oil (such as coconut oil) to prevent irritation.
Just soak a cotton ball in the mixture and dab it directly onto the affected tooth or gums. I did this during the pandemic when I had a toothache, and we couldn't get out of the house. Truly, oils are blessings.
Please note that clove essential oil acts as a natural and temporary remedy for toothaches. It has eugenol, an anesthetic and antibacterial compound that numbs pain and reduces inflammation.
Remember that using clove essential oil is not a substitute for professional dental treatment for issues like infections or cavities.
