Here is an old remedy from the 1890 Victorian Era that may help you if you find yourself with a toothache and can't get dental care right away.
A drop of oil of peppermint applied to the cavity of an aching tooth, and confined there with a pellet of cotton, will arrest the pain and provide relief for at least a time.
Warning: Peppermint oil is not safe for everyone.
The respiration of a baby or child under 5 can be slowed down or even stopped if peppermint oil is close enough for the baby to even breathe it. Do NOT use on children under 5 years of age. High blood pressure may be elevated by peppermint oil.
Also: Peppermint oil may harm a pregnancy, please avoid or consult your physician before using peppermint or peppermint tea while pregnant.
