To alleviate toothache using cloves, you can try these methods: Direct Application: Gently chew 2-3 cloves to release their oil, then keep them near the aching tooth for relief. Moisten cloves with saliva, then crush and place them on the painful area. Apply clove oil directly to the affected tooth using a cotton ball or swab. Create a paste with clove powder and water, then apply it to the painful tooth. Clove-Infused Gargle: Gargle with clove-infused water to ease the pain. Chewing whole cloves can help alleviate discomfort
