Clove

Clove in Thai products: toothpastes, tooth powders, inhalers, balms

Clove is Thailand's main "dental" herb: the eugenol in its oil is antiseptic and mildly numbing, so clove is in almost every Thai herbal toothpaste. Over 30 products where clove is the key ingredient: Tepthai and Rasyan concentrated pastes, Bio Way and Punchalee pastes, Supaporn tooth powders, Hong Thai dry herbal inhalers and warming balms with clove oil.

How to choose

Bleeding, sore gums — a clove paste morning and evening: Rasyan or Tepthai Original; for sensitive teeth the mint Tepthai is gentler. Tea and coffee stains — Supaporn powder 2–3 times a week. Fluoride-free natural care — Tepthai and Rasyan concentrates; alternate with a fluoride paste for cavity protection. Blocked nose — a Hong Thai dry inhaler. A pea-sized amount of concentrate is enough; it foams little and tastes salty-spicy.

Good to know

Clove pastes and powders are hygiene products, not treatment: persistent bleeding, pain or loose teeth need a dentist. Concentrated clove oil irritates mucous membranes — do not hold the paste in the mouth for long, do not swallow; for children from age 6 and sparingly. Inhalers — not for children under 6.

Questions and answers

Does clove really help with toothache?

Eugenol gives a mild numbing and antiseptic effect for a couple of hours — until you see a dentist. It does not remove the cause.

Which clove paste is the best known?

Tepthai Concentrated Herbal Toothpaste (Original) and Rasyan Herbal Clove — sold in every Thai shop.
