How to make clove oil for tooth pain?

I have this terrible toothache and I'm trying to find some relief at home before I can see the dentist. I heard clove oil helps. How can I make clove oil for tooth pain from whole cloves?

I panicked so much when my tooth started throbbing at midnight, thinking I needed emergency surgery. But then I made a quick batch of clove oil by crushing a few cloves and heating them in a spoonful of coconut oil. I applied it with a cotton ball, and the pain became totally manageable within minutes.

My daughter had a bad toothache last week, so I crushed 4-5 cloves and soaked them in a tablespoon of olive oil for a few hours. I gently rubbed a tiny drop of this infused oil on her gums to help her sleep. It really helped her pain, but we still went to her dentist the very next morning.

Ghar pe clove oil banana thoda mushkil hota hai, haan na. Hum toh bas laung ko thoda koot kar usme thoda sa koral ya coconut oil milakar garam kar lete hain. Isko lagane se dant dard mein bohot jaldi aaram milta hai.

Honestly, making pure clove oil at home takes weeks of soaking. A quick, practical way is to just crush 2 cloves, mix them with a few drops of regular mustard oil, and warm it up slightly. Put this mixture on the painful tooth using cotton—it is cheap, fast, and works wonders.

If you want to make it, grind some cloves, mix them with a neutral carrier oil like olive oil in a glass jar, and leave it for a couple of weeks. But honestly, if you are in severe pain right now, just run to the nearest pharmacy and buy a ready-made bottle of pure clove oil for 40 rupees. It is much stronger and saves you the wait.
