Dental pain remedies?

2. I have heard that clove oil works

I myself never used it but I think my husband did 25-30 years ago. If it is what I am remember correctly I think it helped some.
Anyhow I found this online.

Clove oil has been used in traditional Indian and Chinese medicine for centuries to relieve tooth pain.

Clove oil contains a chemical called eugenol, which acts as an anesthetic and antibacterial agent. Clove oil is anti-inflammatory and antifungal.

It is available from many supermarkets, drug stores, and health food shops, or can be bought online. It has a strong, warm, and spicy taste.

To use it for a toothache, dip a clean tissue, cotton swab, or cotton ball into the oil and wipe it over the gums at the point of the pain.

People can also use whole cloves. Simply place them on the affected area for several minutes at a time.
