Home Remedies For Toothache

August 13, 2012

Man With ToothacheTo ease tooth ache pain don't buy toothache gel which does a good job numbing the pain but can be expensive. Instead buy a large tube of Sensodyne toothpaste or the dollar store brand of sensitive toothpaste and take some out and place on the spot where the tooth is hurting. This will instantly stop the tooth from hurting and it lasts for hours while the numbing gel (i.e. Ambesol) only lasts for a few minutes. I have tried this and it works. I carry a small tube of the Sensodyne toothpaste in my purse. You can get a free tube of it from the Sesodyne toothpaste website.

For a really painful toothache, dip a piece of cotton in vanilla and put it in the tooth, within 10 to 15 minutes you won't even know you had a toothache.

Most toothaches are caused by an infection around the tooth. It is between the tooth and the gums causing pressure. Try coating the area with Tea Tree Oil on a Q-tip. Try to keep your tougue away from it, it tastes terrible.

If you have a toothache and can't get to the dentist right away place one or two (or more) whole cloves between the gum and cheek by the affected tooth. It will naturally numb the area for a while.

This can be repeated as often as necessary. Cloves are a spice you probably have in your pantry. They are used when you bake a ham.

Got a toothache? Relief is on it's way. Place a whole clove inside the jaw next to the tooth that is bothering you. In just a little while, the pain will begin to subside.

Garlic is another remedy that works on toothache pain. I place a sliver of garlic between the infected area of the tooth and cheek for as long as I can stand it, because the garlic has a peppery taste.

Naproxen (Aleve) Ibuprofen or generic versions are better than Tylenol for dental pain.

A dentist told me to take Advil liquid gels, extra strength. Worked for me for several weeks, until I got the tooth pulled.

Oil of cloves will often give temporary relief; but you need to see a dentist. If you cannot afford to go, try to find a free or reduced cost clinic; and as a last resort, get to a doctor.

I recently had a horrible toothache and nothing worked to stop the pain. Then my soon-to-be hubby brought home a few packets of this stuff called Pain Aid from work. This stuff works so good, but I can't seem to find it any place! It has Acetaminophen, Aspirin, Salicylamide and Caffeine in it. Does anyone happen to know where to find it or something similar to it that works so well?



Thank you in advance! :^)

The ingredients you describe are the same ones in Excedrin Migraine. We used to have this at work, our version was called PainAway, and one day I compared the ingredients at the drug store.

It's the same thing. And it really does work!

Many years ago, I used a shot of whiskey swirled around the achy tooth and spit out (I was pregnant). It not only helped with the pain, but was a type of antiseptic, until I could get to the dentist. It is imperative you get to a dentist ASAP!

Use cloves until you can get to doctor.

1. Purchase some fresh, whole cloves from your supermarket or health food store. If you have whole cloves in your cupboard, you can use those. However, if they are old they may not be as effective.

2 Chew lightly on two cloves, just enough to crack them a bit. This allows the oil to escape.

3 Place the cloves between your sore tooth and your cheek.

4 Leave the cloves in your mouth for at least 30 minutes or until the pain subsides. This treatment can be used for relief repeatedly until you receive proper medical attention.

Naproxen is a good general pain killer that can help relieve many types of pain, including a toothache. Using Aleve (Naproxen) to relieve a toothache is common way to reduce pain of a sore tooth.
