Yes oregano oil will help just put it directly on the tooth. Coconut oil will also help as well. With the coconut oil make sure it is extra virgin and cold pressed, it's better that way. And with that let it melt in your mouth and swish it around really good like you would mouthwash and then spit it out cause you don't want the bacteria it has picked up going down your throat. And you can also take about a tablespoon of it a day and that will help with a lot of other things as well. Good luck

Absolutely, I've been in horrible pain since the 23rd of February. My dentist can't help because I need both wisdom teeth on too taken out and he can't do it until Jack is born.
I've laid down and cried several times, I've also gotten antibiotics, and Vicodin.
I've taken more than the daily amount of Tylenol, more than the daily amount of aspirin.
I've even taken Benadryl at the same time as the Vicodin so I actually know I'll get some sleep if the Vicodin fails.
At this point I'm taking two extra strength Tylenol or 4 regular strength aspirin at a time, sometimes just two of both.
I've rinsed with salt water and sometimes it works like a charm and it's just fantastic, other times it doesn't help. I've also had mixed results with hydrogen peroxide.
I haven't tried clove oil, I also remember someone said something about oregano oil I believe, as well as coconut oil.

Or maybe rinsing with strong mouthwash,  or letting it sit on the painful side for a few mins. either way,  I hope you feel better!
