Tooth infection alternative cures

Tooth infection alternative cures 

Tooth infection can cause a swelling on your face and can be very painful, making it difficult for you to talk, eat or even drink anything.  Visiting a dentist is recommended in such cases since this kind of an infection could lead to other infections, if it remains untreated.

You can try using towels dipped in hot water to reduce the pain.


Place the towels on the side of your face that is painful. Do this as often as you can, changing the water periodically.
Gargling is another home remedy that is usually effective. You can gargle with salt water or else add turmeric to the water. Clove oil is effective in reducing the pain and can be applied directly on the tooth that is infected. Drinking green tea is believed to reduce the pain. You can also use chamomile tea bags on the infected tooth. You can use tea bags that have been used in hot water or else hold a tea bag under the tap before you use it. Simply place the tea bag on the infected tooth for a little while.   

Avoid eating food items that are hard and can hurt your tooth. Instead eat food that is soft and less likely to cause any discomfort.
