Abscess tooth home remedies
An abscess is a small spot filled with pus. If you have an abscessed tooth, then I assume you mean that you have developed pus close to a tooth. Leaky fillings, badly filled teeth, even damage from a fall or other injury cause an abscess.
Although the abscess is only a tiny bag of pus, it can affect various parts of your body and therefore it is imperative that you visit the doctor at the earliest.
However, till you actually get to the doctor, you could try some home remedies. Peel a small onion.
Chop off a small piece from the onion. Now place it over your abscessed tooth. The pain will recede. When you feel that the abscessed tooth is hurting again, bite the onion. You can also soak a piece of cotton in some clove oil and place this on the abscessed tooth.
Mix on teaspoon of salt in one glass of water. Use this to gargle. Do this as often as you want to. You can peel a clove of fresh garlic, lightly mash it with the back of a spoon, and then place it over the affected area. You can also try packing some ice in a bag and holding this to the affected area.
