Some essential oils have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can aid in pain relief. Try using sunflower oil, sesame oil, oregano oil, nutmeg oil, clove oil, or tea tree oil to stop cavity pain.  You can place a few drops of the oil into a few tablespoons of the water and rinse your mouth out with the rinse. You can also put the oil on a cotton ball or Q-tip and rub the oil directly onto the sore gum or tooth. You may want to try packing a cotton ball soaked in one of the oils, particularly clove oil, into the cavity. Try not to get the oil anywhere else in your mouth because it could cause irritation.  Make sure you don’t swallow the essential oil. Always spit it out. Plantain and peppermint leaves have anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve pain in your mouth.

Apple cider vinegar is used in many folk and home remedies for its antimicrobial properties.
