Buy Clove Oil for Toothache UK
Clove oil is an essential oil extracted from cloves. It is a natural remedy that provides temporary relief from toothache.
You can find clove oil in the medicinal section of the supermarket or the home remedies section of many pharmacies. You can also order clove oil from an online UK pharmacy such as Prescription Doctor.
After applying clove oil, you may feel better, but clove oil is only masking the symptoms of the problem. Toothaches are usually caused by tooth decay that cannot be treated with clove oil alone. It is essential to speak to your dentist to fix the underlying cause of your toothache.
With Prescription Doctor, you can buy clove oil online from our UK registered pharmacy. All items dispatched from our pharmacy are packaged in plain packaging to ensure your privacy. We offer next-day delivery on all orders approved before 3 pm.
How Does Clove Oil Work?
Clove oil contains the active ingredient eugenol, which has natural anaesthetic and mild antibacterial effects. Eugenol numbs the area and reduces tooth pain. It is also a natural anti-inflammatory and may reduce swelling and irritation in the affected area.
A study published in the British Journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery states that eugenol-based paste is more effective at reducing pain, infection, and inflammation than 0.2% chlorhexidine-based gel or a placebo.
Clove oil can be used for the temporary relief of tooth pain until you can visit a dentist.
How long does clove oil take to work for a toothache?
Clove oil takes between 5 and 10 minutes to provide relief from toothache. The anaesthetic effect of clove oil can last up to 2 hours.
How Do I Use Clove Oil For Toothache?
Clove oil can be used by adults and children over 2 years old who are unlikely to swallow it by mistake.
Apply clove oil directly to the affected tooth. Take care not to apply clove oil to the gums.
- Using a cotton swab or cotton ball, soak up a few drops of clove oil.
- Gently apply the oil over the area of pain.
- Leave the oil on the area. You can hold a clove-oil-soaked cotton ball in your mouth against the area of pain.
Clove oil has a strong, warm and spicy taste. If the effect of clove oil is too strong for you, you can dilute it in olive oil.
Avoid swallowing the clove oil once you have applied it. While swallowing clove oil is unlikely to cause any problems, it is best to keep the oil in place of where the pain is.
If you or somebody else drinks the oil directly from the bottle, seek immediate medical attention by going straight to your nearest accident and emergency department. Remember to take the packaging with you, so that doctor know exactly what and how much you have taken.
What should I do if I forget to apply clove oil when I should?
Clove oil should only be used when it is needed.
You can use clove oil at any time of the day.
What should I do if I apply too much clove oil?
If you accidentally apply too much clove oil, speak to your doctor or a pharmacist.
Take the bottle of clove oil with you to show which medicine you have taken.
Using clove oil too often can damage your gums.
Clove Oil Side Effects and Cautions
Before you use clove oil for the first time, it’s important to read the patient information leaflet enclosed with your medicine. The patient information leaflet contains instruction on how to store and use clove oil, and important information regarding the safety of the medicine, such as allergy advice and side effects.
You can read the patient information leaflet for clove oil online.
If you have any doubts about anything in the patient information leaflet, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
You can also message one of our online doctors, through your Prescription Doctor account, if you have any questions about your treatment or condition.

If you are unsure whether clove oil is safe for you, speak to your doctor or pharmacist first.

Please inform our medical team of all the medicines you are currently taking, including those prescribed to you, or bought over the counter.
Do not use clove oil past the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Never dispose of medicine via household or water waste. Ask your local pharmacy to get rid of medicines you no longer need. This helps to protect the environment.
Always store medicines out of sight and reach from children and pets.
Never share your medicines with anybody else. Even if they have the same symptoms or condition as you.
