Clove oil is from the cooking herb Clove. People use the oil for toothaches. Putting a little clove oil on a toothache will help ease the pain a little. It has a mild numbing effect. Best used, put a few drops on a cotton ball and put it on your tooth. It's not a dental fix, but it will help with the pain. Until you see a dentist.
