Items containing Clove Essential Oil will help relieve the pain as well as fostering healing. Clove oil contains a significant amount of eugenol and has been used as a dental analgesic and anaesthetic for a very long time.

If you have access to pure clove a a single drop may be used on each socket to assist in relieving the pain. Otherwise, consider brewing a clove tea using whole or freshly crushed whole cloves steeped in hott water for at least 30 minutes. I would recommend swishing the tincture in your mouth for about 5 minutes. While clove is generally regarded as safe (GRAS), I probably would not swallow the tea.

All that being said, it has been a week - you might want to consult your dentist, dental surgeon, or physician.

Hope you feel better soon!
