You have a headache, your gums are throbbing, and your mouth is sore and tender. You have a toothache. See your dentist as soon as possible. In the meantime, use these home remedies for relief. 1-Rinsing with salt water: For many people, a salt water rinse is an effective first-line treatment. Salt water is a natural disinfectant that can help loosen food particles and debris that may get stuck between teeth. Treating a toothache with salt water can also help reduce inflammation and heal mouth sores. Use: Mix 1/2 tsp. 1 teaspoon of salt in a glass of lukewarm water and use it as a mouthwash. 2- Garlic: Garlic has been used extensively for medicinal purposes throughout history. It contains a compound called allicin, which explains its powerful antibacterial properties. Use : Crush a fresh garlic clove then mix with a little salt, then applied to the affected tooth. 3-Cloves: Cloves have natural pain relieving and antibacterial properties. They are a common part of traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, where they have been used for centuries to cure all kinds of pain. Cloves are considered particularly effective in the treatment of toothache. Use and instructions: Use dried cloves or clove essential oil. Dried cloves can be placed between the affected tooth and the cheek to ease the pain of toothache. You can also soak a cotton ball in a mixture of a few drops of clove oil and a small amount of olive oil. If you place the cotton ball next to your sore tooth, the pain should be eased for as long as you apply it. Cloves don't have the nicest taste, so avoid getting clove oil or juice on your tongue. 4-Peppermint tea: Peppermint tea can help relieve toothache due to its numbing properties. Like cloves, peppermint has numbing properties that can provide relief from toothaches. Menthol, which gives peppermint its minty taste and smell, is also known to be antibacterial. Use and instructions: A teaspoon of dried peppermint leaves can be placed in a cup of boiling water and left to steep for 20 minutes. After allowing to cool, it can be thrown in the mouth and then spat out or swallowed. A slightly damp and wet tea bag can also be used and held against the tooth for several minutes until the pain subsides. A few drops of peppermint oil on a cotton ball can also be placed against the affected tooth as a temporary remedy. 5-Guava leaves: Largely for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties, fresh guava leaves can also provide relief from toothaches. To use: Chew one or two guava leaves until the juice begins to work on the affected area. You can also chew raw spinach leaves for the same effect. Another way to treat a sore tooth is to mix some guava leaves with boiling water. Let the solution cool and rinse your mouth. Vanilla extract contains alcohol which may help reduce pain. Its proven antioxidant properties also make it an effective healer. Use : To use, dab a small amount of vanilla extract on your finger or on a cotton ball. Apply it directly to the affected area several times a day. 6-Capsaicin: Capsaicin, a substance found in the "ribs" of chili peppers that gives chili peppers their heat, is commonly used to relieve nerve pain. And that can include the nerves in the teeth. This familiar burn that makes red chili peppers feel so deadly is caused by capsaicin, as it interacts with the nerves in the tongue and nasal passages. Besides giving your burrito a spicy kick, this mechanism also numbs the nerves it comes in contact with. Use : Try adding a few drops of cayenne oil to a cotton ball and rubbing it around your problematic tooth. Alternatively, you can try chewing on a chili pepper. Be warned: once the capsaicin is on your tongue, it will burn! 7-Ginger-Cayenne Paste: Ginger is a powerful pain reliever. Mixing with cayenne is a powerful remedy for toothache. Use : Mix equal parts of these two heat conditioning spices with enough water to make a paste. Roll a small cott
