Toothache relief home cures The main reasons for toothache are tooth decay and cavities formed due to excessive build-up of plaque which eats at the enamel protective covering of the teeth. Excessive consumption of candies, soft drinks, refined carbohydrates and sugar leads to cavities when the bacteria inside the mouth breaks the sugar into acids which combine with the calcium to erode the teeth. Tooth pain can also originate in the nerves or when the wisdom tooth is emerging.
Beginning with a sharp pain in the tooth, especially while eating, it can spread through the jaw leading to soreness and bleeding of the gums as well as loosening of the teeth. The pain can also extend up to the ears and even cause fever. In order to avoid toothache, maintain strict routines of dental hygiene, brushing and flossing twice daily and avoid eating sugary, sticky foods as well as alcohol and tobacco which reduce your body's capability to fight infections.
For immediate relief from toothache, you can apply a tea bag on the sore gum for around 30 minutes. This will ease the soreness and also stop any bleeding. Chamomile tea bags help to ease the pain as well as fight the infection, even though the taste can be unpleasant. Apart from this there are several simple home remedies to deal with toothache. Daily consumption of a clove of garlic and even raw onions helps to fight the bacteria and reduce the pain. Consumption of citrus fruits and lemon, rich in Vitamin C help to keep the gums healthy and thus prevent tooth decay. Wheat grass juice can be swirled in the mouth before swallowing since it acts as an effective mouthwash, killing bacteria and offering relief from toothache. Pepper can also be used as a remedy for toothache. A pinch of pepper mixed with clove oil applied on the tooth can help to reduce the toothache.
