Product overview

About Bell's Clove Oil

Pharmacy-grade clove oil BP for the temporary relief of toothache: its natural eugenol has a mild numbing action that takes the edge off an aching tooth until the dentist can see you. The Bell's bottle has sat in first-aid tins for decades — 10ml is more than enough for a household's emergencies.

Why clove oil

Eugenol has been used in dentistry for over a century as a local anaesthetic and antiseptic; dentists still put it in temporary fillings. Applied to the tooth it dulls the pain within minutes — the Saturday-night answer when the dentist opens Monday.

How to use

Put a drop or two on a small piece of cotton wool and hold it against the painful tooth or in the cavity for a few minutes. Keep it off gums, lips and tongue — undiluted clove oil irritates soft tissue — and never swallow. Check the label for the minimum age.

Good to know

It relieves the symptom, not the cause; a painful tooth needs a dentist. Facial or gum swelling, fever, or pain that keeps you awake is an urgent dental appointment. Keep the bottle away from children.
