FAQs:
Q: Are these remedies a replacement for seeing a dentist?
A: No. These are short-term pain relief solutions. You should still consult a dentist for diagnosis and permanent treatment.
Q: Can I use these remedies for my child?
A: Most of these ingredients are safe for adults, but consult a pediatrician or pediatric dentist before applying anything to a child’s mouth.
Q: Why doesn’t my dentist recommend these?
A: Dentists follow evidence-based guidelines and must prioritize lasting solutions. Natural remedies are helpful, but they typically treat symptoms—not causes.
Q: Is clove oil safe?
A: In small amounts, yes. However, overuse or applying it directly without dilution can irritate your gums.

Final Note:
Next time your tooth starts throbbing, try reaching into your kitchen cabinet before your medicine cabinet. While natural remedies aren’t a cure-all, they can be a powerful (and safe) ally until professional dental care is available.
