Clove oil toothache relief has been used for centuries. The oil soothes tooth pain and has the characteristic smell that many older dental offices used to have. Dentists mix the oil with zinc oxide to make a white temporary filling material that calms tooth pain down. This soothing temporary filling is used to replace a dental filling in a tooth that is hurting with the hopes that the tooth will calm down enough to later have a permanent filling without the need for a root canal.

          Most pharmacies sell small bottles of the oil or patients can buy commercial temporary filling materials containing clove oil. Another name for clove oil is eugenol. It can be placed on a small piece of cotton and stuck into a tooth cavity to give temporary clove oil toothache relief. This can be effective for 60 to 90 minutes. A new cotton ball soaked with clove oil can replace the old one at this time.
