On a cotton bud

Toothache Hitting Again?
That throbbing, can’t-sleep, holding-your-jaw kind of pain. Paracetamol’s not touching it. The dentist can’t see you for two weeks. You just want it to stop — now.

THE 3AM REALITY
You’ve already tried everything…
- It’s 2am. You’ve already taken the paracetamol.
- The numbing gel buys you ten minutes, tops.
- Salt water. Cold flannel. Sleeping upright. Nothing.
- Your dentist can’t fit you in for two weeks.
- The private dentist wants to charge you £££’s just to look at it.
Nothing works…

🌿
THE PAIN CALMER
Clove Oil
Naturally rich in eugenol — the active compound dentists have leaned on for tooth discomfort for centuries.
🍃
THE INSTANT COOL
Peppermint Oil
That clean menthol hit. Soothes the gum, quiets the throb, leaves your mouth feeling fresh instead of medicinal.
🌱
THE SMOOTH FINISH
Spearmint Oil
Softer than peppermint. Rounds out the flavour so it actually tastes pleasant — not like a chemist’s shelf.
🌰
THE GENTLE CARRIER
Sweet Almond Oil
Carries the essential oils evenly so nothing burns. This is the bit a homemade mix almost always gets wrong.
HOW IT WORKS
The science behind a 700-year-old remedy.
Clove oil’s active compound — eugenol — is a natural anaesthetic and antibacterial that dentists have used since the 13th century. It calms the nerve endings inside the tooth where the pain actually lives. Peppermint and spearmint deliver a cooling menthol hit that quiets inflammation on contact. Sweet almond oil binds it all together so the actives reach the gum gently — never burning, never overpowering.
- 01Apply to the sore toothEugenol in clove oil numbs the exposed nerve.
- 02Cools on contactMenthol from peppermint and spearmint takes the edge off the throb.
- 03Stays comfortableAlmond oil holds the blend in place so relief lasts, gently.
3 WAYS TO USE IT
Pick whichever feels right at 3am.
METHOD 02
On your toothbrush

METHOD 03
As a mouthwash
Five drops in a glass of water, swish for thirty seconds, spit. Reaches everywhere a cotton bud can’t.
