Reducing dental pain! :)

[Guest guest]

Nobody responded to my question about using clove oil *before* the

dentist visit, so I just took the plunge. I painted my gums with a

clove oil and olive oil mixture before I went in for my deep planing

this time.

 

I waived off the local anesthetic! Not with no pain, mind you, but

with less than I would have had the regular way... and no numb mouth

to contend with later. When I got home I put on another application

to kill the soreness. BTW, the hygienest said that it also reduced

bleeding, which helped her to see what she was doing. I'm for

that!

 

YES, I'd recommend using clove oil both before and after a dental

visit to reduce the pain... whether or not one gets a local.

 

Just thought I'd share.
