Comment:
For toothache, a dab or two of oregano oil on the affected area always works for me. The pain lessens immediately, is gone in around 60 seconds and lasts for around 5 to 6 hours.

I had a sore in the upper gum and used it with a q-tip to the roof of my mouth as it was hard to eat anything without having terrible pain. Just after 2 applications the pain has ceased and I am able to eat again.
