Can gargling warm salt water help relieve a toothache?

I read it on the internet and I’m not sure if it is true or not.

Need short-term relief for an unhappy tooth? A natural remedy is oil of cloves, which has antimicrobial, germicidal and antiseptic properties, and contains the pain-killing compound eugenol, making it very effective in relieving dental pain. Clove oil has long been used in dentistry, mixed with zinc oxide to create temporary fillings, and as an anaesthetic before those drugs were available. It is an ingredient in quite a number of dental products, including toothpastes and mouthwashes.

A tooth aches because the decaying interior produces gas which gets pressurized and pushes against what is left of the nerve. Anything that cools the tooth reduces the gas pressure temporarily and you get a respite from the pain. Eventually it becomes very painful and then it’s time for the dentist to help.

Take calcium pills. Calcium is nature’s way of controlling sensitivity to pain. You can take a day’s dose with every meal. There is no overdose and the only side effect is strong bones.
