Herbs for toothaches?

Question

Do you think Willowbark tea would help with a toothache? Well its not really a toothache, I'm getting spacers in my teeth at the orthodontist for my braces and I don't want to use motrin or advil. Any advice on what herbs would help ease the pain?

Answer 1

I dont know about witherbark, but you can rub cinnamon or clove oil on your gums for temporary relief. Ive used it for toothaches in the past and it always helped more than asprin or tylenol, it wont outright numb the pain but it will make it bearable untill you can get to the dentist.
