I used oil of cloves. Thanks in advance, Kim Loos Dr. Kimberly A. Loos practices general dentistry in San Jose, California. She is also a clinical instructor at University of Pacific School of Dentistry and an editor for Dentistry On-Line. This situation means the tooth will either need a root canal or extraction. You and your dentist can discuss which is the best treatment for you once the dentist has seen the teeth and the x-rays to determine if it is still possible to save the teeth with a root canal.
Oil of cloves can help temporarily.
Again, let me emphasize that this is only a temporary fix and may not be of much help in severe pain. You should not continue to take these for an extended period of time anyway. Again, my best advice is to see your dentist before you lose the option to save your teeth. A prompt dental visit will also minimize your chance of infection. You should not rely on this information as a substitute for personal medical attention, diagnosis or hands-on treatment.
