I usually put all this equipment in an emergency dental bag, which is usually close to my first aid kit. If you or a family member develops any urgent dental problem, you will have to go to your local pharmacy to get some supplies like Tempanol, which is a dental analgesic, Cavit, which is a dental wax and Orajel, which is a dental anesthetic.
Generally, a patient who develops a dental problem will have some fever and often feel pain. So a bottle of powerful painkillers without a prescription should also be present in your dental kit. Pure clove oil can be obtained from the cooking department of many well-stocked craft stores. They come in small glass bottles which fit comfortably with any device kit. When available, include a good supply of cotton balls or pellets. These cotton products can help applying medicines easier on the infected area.
