For dental pain, a few drops of clove essential oil around the tooth may be helpful. There are also some over-the-counter remedies that temporarily help alleviate dental pain. To help resolve the abcess, often alternating hot/cold compresses to the cheek/jaw can improve circulation so the body can better eliminate toxins--3 minutes hot/30 seconds cold X 3, several times daily. Also, some anti-microbial herbal blends such as berberis, echinacea, myrrh and phytolacca may reduce the infection.Since any infection in the head may progress to more serious pathologies, be altert to any worsening of symptoms and consult an emergency care facility if necessary.
