Lennon Naeltjieolie 20ml

Naeltjieolie, clove oil, is the traditional toothache bottle, and unusually for the Dutch-medicine shelf its chemistry is textbook: eugenol, clove's main constituent, is a genuine local anaesthetic and antiseptic that dentistry itself uses in temporary fillings and dressings. A drop on cotton wool held against an aching tooth numbs credibly for a short while, which makes it the legitimate bridge to the dental chair, and never a substitute for it, since the decay or abscess underneath continues regardless of how quiet it goes.

Toothache at midnight needs a numbing bridge to the morning appointment, and eugenol is the real thing, the same chemistry your dentist uses in temporary dressings.
