home remedies for toothache pain !

Most toothaches occur at night when you are trying to sleep because of the increased blood pressure towards your head. Try keeping your head elevated to decrease some of the pressure.

Remedies for Toothache Pain

1 - First try a pressure point remedy by rubbing an ice cube into the V-shaped area where the bones of the thumb and forefinger meet on one hand for 5 to 7 minutes.

2 - A clove of garlic with a little of rock salt, placed on the affected tooth will relieve the pain. Alternatively you can chew a garlic clove daily in the morning.

3 - Apply a dab of “Vicks vapor rub” on the side of the face where the pain is. Place a paper towel on top and lay down in bed. The heat from the vicks absorbs into the skin and brings you toothache relief.

4 - Cut off a piece of potato and put on your sore tooth for about 15 minutes.

5 - A hot tea bag pressed to the tooth will provide almost instant relief.

6 - Halls Cough Drops has a small amount of anestetic in it. Pop two in your mouth and let them disolve.

8 - The juice of wheat grass is an excellent mouthwash for dental decay and cures toothache. It draws out toxins from the gums and checks bacterial growth.

9 - Clove oil or oil of cloves is a mild anesthetic and applied to the cavity of the decayed tooth provides instant pain relief from the toothache. Oil of oregano on the paining tooth is also nearly as effective.

10 - Try gargling some Listerine antiseptic.

11 - Chewing leaves of the guava tree (if you have a backyard guava tree) will provide some relief from tooth pain.

12 - A pinch of pepper and ¼ tsp of common salt prevents dental cavities, foul breath, bleeding from the gums, painful gums, and toothaches.

13 - Gargle a glassful of water mixed with 1 tsp of salt after each meal and at bedtime.

14 - Brushing in circular motion ensures that all the dental surfaces are cleaned. For gentle stimulation to improve blood circulation in the gums, brush the gums lightly.

15 - Dental decay, destruction of the bone around the teeth and infection of the gums can be prevented with an appropriate diet. Restrict sugar intake, ensure that your diet includes plenty of raw veggies, whole wheat bread and whole foods.
