Dental question about observed-topic:clove-for-dental-symptoms

Clove contains eugenol, which can numb dental pain briefly, but it does not treat decay, a cracked tooth, or infection.

Tooth pain may come from inflamed pulp, decay, a crack, gum disease, or an abscess. Temporary numbness does not show that the cause has resolved, and placing concentrated oil in a cavity can expose the pulp and surrounding mucosa to irritation.

If you use clove as a short-term comfort measure, do not place concentrated oil on the gum or swallow it, and do not use it instead of dental care. Rinse gently, keep the area clean, and avoid chewing on a painful tooth.

Arrange prompt care for ongoing pain, swelling, fever, pus, bad taste, or pain on biting. Facial swelling or difficulty breathing or swallowing requires emergency medical care.

Is the pulp involved, can clove irritate my gum, what treatment removes the cause, and which temporary pain measure fits my health history?
