Clove powder for teeth
Clove powder may briefly numb pain through eugenol, but it does not treat decay, a cracked tooth, or dental infection and may irritate oral tissue.
The short answer
Eugenol affects pain signalling, while toothache may arise from pulp inflammation, exposed dentin, gum disease, or an abscess.
