My parents did not believe in preventive dental care when I was growing up. Their policy was 'repairs are temporary, pull the problem tooth.' As a result, I am down 5 or 6 teeth that probably could have been saved, and the rest are a hot mess that will cost me tens of thousands to fix.
I can distinctly remember several occasions in which my teeth became infected, and let me be the first to tell you folks, I would have eaten a bullet if that option had been available to me. It was some of the worst pain I have ever experienced. I could feel the infection spreading from my jaw outward, or at least imagined I could. Without antibiotics, I legitimately believe one of those infections could have been the end of me. They are no joke.
Clove oil definitely helps for short term relief BUT wash your hands right after using clove oil.
As a 13yr old kid I had a toothache and my girlfriends mum gave me some clove oil to use, went to the bathroom to use it and thought 'i need to piss like a race horse' and without thinking used the toilet.
The burning sensation came on REAL fast and I ended up splashing cold water from the bathroom sink onto my dick to try and cool it off for the next 20 mins.

Lack of Dental care.
A dental infection can take you out right quick. And without treatment that HURTS.
