Toothache can be sudden, intense, and disruptive. While visiting a dentist is always the best solution, there are safe home remedies that can provide temporary relief.………
Saltwater Rinse
A saltwater rinse helps reduce inflammation and kill bacteria in the mouth. Mix a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and rinse your mouth for 30 seconds. Repeat a few times a day for relief.
Clove Oil
Clove oil contains eugenol, a natural painkiller. Apply a small amount of clove oil to a cotton ball and place it on the aching tooth. This can numb pain and reduce swelling.
Cold Compress
A cold compress helps reduce swelling and numb sharp pain. Wrap ice in a cloth and press it against the cheek near the affected tooth for 10–15 minutes. Repeat every few hours as needed.
Garlic Paste
Garlic has antibacterial properties. Crush a garlic clove, mix it with a little salt, and apply the paste directly to the tooth. This can fight infection and temporarily ease pain.
