Home Remedy for Toothaches

Home Remedies

• If the pain becomes unbearable, buy a product called OraJel. This is sold at most drug stores. It numbs the pain medically and almost instantaneously.
  
  
• That seemingly miracle cure, garlic cloves, can rescue you from your toothache. Take a whole garlic clove and place it on your aching tooth for almost instant relief.
  
  
• Chew on raw onion for about five minutes. The juices released by the onion, provide mild relief for oral pain.
  
  
• Vanilla extract, a flavoring with a strong smell and taste, also provides pain relief in much the same way as OraJel. A few drops of this alcohol-rich liquid numb the gums and teeth long enough for you to find other methods of relief.
  
  
• If all else fails, ice is a great last resort. An ice pack on the cheek or face numbs the jawbone and nerves, ensuring temporary relief from pain.
  
  
• Avoid eating high-sugar foods when you have a toothache. These cause further irritation. Avoid very cold or hot drinks as well. The gums are very sensitive to temperature. Irritating a sore tooth with a sudden shock of cold or hot may aggravate the nerves and cause much pain.
