Toothache Remedy

Cloves

Cloves can be an excellent remedy with either the clove itself or a few drops of clove oil. However, if you use clove oil, be cautious as too much can be toxic. Either drop a bit of clove oil on the painful area, rest a clove on their, or ground cloves with water or olive oil to make a paste to spread along your teeth.

Ice

Ice is always a good option for pain, but when it is for a toothache remedy, you will have to apply the ice on your cheek. Be sure to wrap the ice pack in a cloth, leave it on the infected area until numbness occurs. The opposite, a heat pack, can also be effective if the ice pack is not.

Tea Bag

After making a fresh cup of tea, use the warm tea bag and apply it directly to the painful area inside your mouth. Be careful to not break the bag. A tea bag is effective as a toothache remedy because it helps to numb the area naturally.

Baking Soda

Another popular toothache remedy is baking soda. In order to use the method, moisten a cotton swab with water, coat it well with baking soda, and apply it to the painful area. Another option would be to create a mouth rinse of a spoonful of baking soda dissolved into a small glass of warm water before swishing in your mouth—be sure not to swallow.

Vegetables

Vegetables can also be an excellent toothache remedy when used raw. You can slice a fresh potato (raw with no skin), a piece of fresh onion, or a piece of fresh cucumber. Regardless of which vegetable you choose, simply cut it fresh and then hold it over the painful area inside your mouth.

Salt and Pepper

When you are in desperate need of a toothache remedy, you can simply mix together even amounts of salt and pepper with a bit of water to make a paste. Allow it to sit for several minutes and apply this past for several days.

Garlic

Another natural home treatment for toothache is to use garlic because of its antibiotic and other medicinal properties. Simply mix a crushed garlic clove (garlic powder can easily substitute) with some salt and apply it directly to the painful area. You could also chew a clove or two of garlic to obtain relief if you can handle the potent taste of raw garlic.

Warm Salt Water

Another home toothache remedy that is quite common is to use warm salt water. Simply mix half a spoon of salt into a glass of warm water and rinse thoroughly. The salt will extract any fluid from the infected area, helping to reduce the swelling and pain while fighting against any bacteria that may be causing an infection.

Guava Leaves

By chewing on a few tender guava leaves, you will release juice from the leaves that will work wonders on the painful and affected tooth. In case you don’t like the taste of the leaves, you can also boil four to five guava leaves in water; allow the water to cool before adding some salt and using it as a mouthwash.

Bayberry Bark

Another toothache remedy is bayberry, which is great for pain relief and helps to strengthen your gums at the same time. Simply mix the bayberry bark with vinegar to create a paste and then apply the paste to the painful area. After a while, you should experience relief from the pain.
