I have always used diluted Manuka or tea-tree oil. 3-5 drops to a quarter cup of warm water and applied with a cotton bud (or finger) all around the tops of my gums, then the residue swilled around my mouth and spat out. A small amount (a little stronger) on a cotton pad helps toothache because the pain is often caused by an infection and the anti-bacterial qualities of Manuka oil kills the germs.
