Is it safe to use clove oil as toothpaste?

Not long term: Clove oil an be used short term to help ease toothaches and gum pain. Small quanties are used in some toothpastes. Pure clove oil should not be used as a toothpaste or applied to the gums long term as it can chemically burn the tissue and cause pain.

Safe but : It is safe but not effective as a toothpaste. Oil of clove is an old toothache remedy. I would stay with a brand toothpastes that contain floride.

Yes, but....: Clove oil may not be dangerous to use in the mouth but it is in no way a substitute for toothpaste. It would be like brushing with olive oil, wouldn't hurt you but wouldn't be doing any good either.

Waste of money: Toothpastes are a mild abrasive with additives, such as fluoride. Look for toothpaste that has ASA Seal of Approval on package. Uno only a pea-sized portion of t'paste when you brush (soft t'brush, 2x/day for 2 full minutes by the clock). Oil of cloves will temporarily sooth very mild dental pain, pain that indicates you have a long-standing cavity, but will not cure it. Please see a Dentist.
