Clove (Lavanga) contains an anesthetic chemical compound called eugenol, which numbs nerves and stops pain. The essential oil of clove is also an antiseptic, which helps eliminate oral bacteria. Potassium nitrate (Suryakshara) inhibits pain in hypersensitive teeth through its desensitizing effect on dentinal nerves. Spinach (Palakya) contains natural oxalate compounds, which help in forming phytocomplexes on the teeth. This occludes dentinal tubules and blocks the transmission of pain from the surface to the tooth’s nerves. These oxalate compounds produce protective films on the molars and thus, helps to prevent tooth destruction.
