Home Cure for Toothache
Your own home can be a dentist clinic if you go through the following home remedies for curing tooth pain permanently.
Firstly, make sure that you rinse your mouth with salt water on a daily basis. Rinsing with hot or cold water can aggravate the tooth pain and salt water relives pain. This is because salt helps in absorbing the fluids responsible for causing the swelling and has a soothing effect on the tooth. If the pain is in excess, you can always go for analgesic to calm down the unbearable pain.
Ice is again a very fruitful source of reducing swelling and soothing tooth pain. But, never apply ice directly on the tooth; rather use an ice pack or ice covered in a towel.
Another best home remedy for tooth pain is Eugenol or clove oil. It is therapeutic oil that helps to ease pain. Liquid clove oil when mixed with zinc oxide can form a tooth filling for the cavity. The reaction of this oil is temporary so you can only have temporary relief. For permanent cure, you can definitely visit a dentist if the pain does not go.
Avoid extreme temperatures in any form. Don’t drink extremely hot or cold water as extreme water temperatures can increase pain as these hit your nerve endings. Apart from taking care of the soft diet and normal drinking water, it is also essential to cut down on cigarettes. This is because cigarettes are often associated with various dental and oral problems. Cutting down the consumption of tobacco can greatly reduce the tooth pain and relive you from various other dental problems.
