Clove oil. Clove oil is a traditional remedy for toothache. This strong plant possesses many antibacterial properties that also lower inflammation. When using the essential oil form, it is important to dilute it in a carrier oil. For this, 3-5 drops of the oil are mixed into an ounce of the base oil. The oil can be applied on the tooth with the help of a cotton swab or ball. Alternatively, the oil can be used as a mouthwash by diluting a few drops of it into a small cup of water. This remedy can be repeated three times daily for a noticeable relief.
