The Now clove oil is an essential oil for aromatherapy use only, and is NOT
food grade for internal use! It is not a clove flavoring oil!

The company Now Foods also makes shampoo, but I'm not about to serve that
up as some sort of berry flavored beverage.
You should note, your vial also says "please consult an essential oil book
or other professional reference source for suggested dilution ratios".
Below that, "use with care". Below that, in the "caution" box, "Not for
internal use".
Further, that they list jojoba oil as a carrier oil should also be a clue,
as jojoba, although edible, is not digestible.
You may be right that you won't die from it, but if you want clove
flavoring oil, why not buy that instead?

As long as you aren't flavoring candy with it, carry on. Good luck with
your tooth.

I add 1 whole clove to the boiling water when I make ice tea, sometimes I add a bit of cinnamon stick instead.
