A list of the best home toothache remedies follows right after a brief discussion of toothache.
Even the mention of a toothache makes me hurt and puts me in need of a hug.
No wonder since the problem is usually an infection that involves the nerves. If you really want to hurt someone, just jiggle his nerves.
When those nerves are in the gums, when they are long and extend a good distance from the tooth, well no wonder the pain is so intense and could radiate from the head to the shoulders.
But there is good news on this front. You probably don’t have to suffer. In fact, there are many herbs for toothache and one herb that can work like a magic bullet to relieve pain and even kill the infection that led to the pain.
Just note that even if a particular herbal remedy for toothache works for you, since the tooth pain comes from an infection, you will need to get it checked out by a dentist even if the pain wears off. That’s because the infection could spread into the bloodstream and cause havoc.
Home toothache remedies
Clove is one of the top herbs for toothache. The essential oil in clove is the key for relieving pain. It numbs the area while fighting bacteria. Just apply to affected area, the tooth and surrounding gum.
Garlic is great for fighting bacteria. If it offers a bit of relief, all the better. Crush a clove and hold it next to affected tooth and surrounding area.
Ginger can also help with tooth pain. Simply mix powdered ginger with enough water to make a paste and place paste on tooth.
Red pepper can be used in the same way as ginger. Simply mix powdered red pepper (hot pepper, containing capsaicin) with enough water to make a paste and place paste on tooth.
Toothache tree, I guess pretty much tells you that it‘s mainly used as an herbal remedy for toothache. Not carried in all herbal stores. Chewing the bark or dried leaves serves as an anesthetic for the teeth and gums.
Turmeric, an important ingredient in curry, is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and increases circulation. Make a paste or compress with water and turmeric and apply to area.
Willow, which is aspirin’s natural cousin, can also be used to relieve pain. Chew a bit of the willow bark and then place the wad on the tooth. You can also drink tea to help with toothache pain.
