I think I found a solution.

Have you tried it yet?

I remember being told to rub a smear of clove oil on the gums to relieve toothache. Recently when I offered fresh sage on Freegle a Russian lady arrived and filled a big bag, saying she needed it for her tooth problems.

I am glad you found a solution, I know how painful it is, especially the headaches it brings.

Glad that is helping

I prefer natural to chemical. For gums there is also according to the net, Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties; mixing it with water to form a paste can be applied to the gums for relief.

I grew up with grandmothers around, and old-fashioned remedies were often the norm with them. Between the two of them, they had two home remedies for toothaches, until a person could be seen by the dentist. One was to dip a Q-Tip in whiskey or brandy and repeat as needed. I know we talked about this and no, I am not a drinker, either--but I do keep a tiny bottle of brandy to have for toothache emergencies. One of the grandma's would put a drop or two of full-strength vanilla in it, too. The other was clove oil, which also works well. That particular grandma would hold the tiny bottle under hot running water for a minute or two to warm up the oil first, she claimed it worked better if it was warm. I love natural solutions. Hey, don't forget that caffeine is a natural product, and it really can help at times with bad headaches!

I too am more into natural remedies!!!! I love essential oils. I use Lavender oil to help me sleep. Good luck to you. I hope it helps.

Clove oil is a great idea. I wish I would have thought of it. I use natural solutions pretty often..I don't like getting prescriptions for every little thing..especially when a natural remedy works similarly, and is usually not so harsh.

I hope that works out for you. No one likes to be in pain.

I've heard of using clove oil before for teeth issues but had forgotten about it.

I used them once in a while
