More user remedies on Toothache

For severe toothache from a gum infection, make a tincture using tea tree oil, clove, cayenne & peppermint. Apply with a Q-tip as often as necessary. This kills the pain instantly and helps to heal the afflicted area. All the ingredients have anti-bacterial & antiseptic properties. I also took zinc, echanacea, magnesium, vit C. These 2 remedies help for sore throats too. If you get a toothache when you're stuck at work, etc., take a pinch of salt and apply directly to the painful area. This really works until you can get to the dentist. About 7 years ago, my dentist prescribed anti-biotics & vicodin for a gum infection which didn't fix the problem completely. After a week of "conventional treatment", it still hurt to chew & I had throbbing pain. I put crushed garlic compress on the affected area and used salt water rinses. I got immediate results. Then I started getting my teeth cleaned every 4 months, so thankfully, didn't lose my tooth. Then as fate would have it, I got a gum infection on the other side of my mouth (top molar) about 2 weeks ago (talk about bad karma) and followed my dentist's instructions: anti-biotics & vicodin. This time, I found no relief from conventional medicine & thought I'd have to have this tooth extracted. I tried the above remedy (tincture), and then chewed fresh garlic (when I was able to chew on that side) and I am overjoyed to report that all pain\infection is completely gone. I had forgotten what normal felt like, wow, what a relief! And, most importantly, will not have to get my tooth extracted.

Rub tooth with alcohol for about five minutes and quickly relieves the pain, "don't swallow"

Instead of paying 4,000 to a dentist, I tried these ingredients. You will need listerine, baking soda, peroxide, toothpaste, water and tooth brush. Rinse mouth with listerine, brush, use a solution of half water half peroxide rinse (well) this acts as an oral deriding agent, just don't swallow it as it will bubble. If you’re a smoker you will also clean the nicotine off your tongue. Oxygen whitens the teeth and cleans your mouth and peroxide works wonders for 50 cents a bottle. Next, rinse with water. Now brush your teeth. Depending on how bad your periodontist is, this may increase tenderness in your gums-brush with the baking soda. Use a wet toothbrush and dip it in the box-practice will ensure it stays on the brush. It will taste salty. Now rinse with listerine-this will more then likely burn, (a lot) but if your gums are bleeding you now have access to all that nasty plaque hiding under your gums. Irrigate them by following these steps each day or twice a day until your gums are no longer swollen or you see a dentist. Peroxide that sits on the gums for long periods of time such as with whitening treatments are not good for your gums. That's why strips fit on the teeth save your money and rinse with peroxide instead. rinse, rinse and rinse. If this doesn't cure the infection you might save money by the time you get to the dentist.

You may find yourself unable to go to the dentist for a few days while suffering from a vicious toothache. I have found that gargling with Lysterine provides some measure of relief. Swish the stuff around the offending tooth, gently at first, then vigorously. Endure the pain which comes with doing this. Repeat, as many as four times. Even warm salt water will relieve the pain, brush your teeth for a good ten minutes, helps a lot.

I have always had bad tooth infections and I've only found ONE thing that works for both infection and pain. Noni Juice. 100% organic noni, NOT the walmart version. The Tahition noni is most expensive. I use a cheaper version but still all natural. I drink four to five ounces a day to start and I hold it on the infected tooth as long as possible. Within 24 hours the pain will go away and within a few days the infection clears up. I've tried everything else from cloves to vinegar. The NONI is the only thing that got rid of the pain and the infection!

Carious teeth are prevented by drinking lots of water. After every snack make sure that you drink at least half to one cup of glass. This will ensure that whatever food is stuck on the teeth is flushed away. Also use fluoridated floss to prevent tooth decay. Children could use fluoridated tooth paste after three years of age. Fluoride gel is recommended by dentists. If tooth decay is already present please go the dentist and do the fillings before the pain starts.

Soak a small cotton pad in fresh onion juice and apply it to the aching tooth.

Dear HomeRemedies; I have found that the anacardic acids in raw cashew nuts do an excellent job of curing an abscess from gram positive bacteria, which are the most prevalent cause of tooth decay and tooth aches. Sincerely, Charles Weber
