Severe and persistent toothaches are likely due to an untreated infection. Your best course of action is getting an emergency dental appointment<\/a>. But sometimes life gets in the way. Maybe your pain is unbearable and you can\u2019t drive, your spouse is unreachable or far away, or car service fees are astronomical. Here are some home remedies for a severe toothache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Managing a Toothache<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before your toothache worsens, you can try regularly rinsing your mouth with salt water or applying a cold compress to alleviate minor irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your symptoms last longer than a day or two, or the pain worsens, you should see your dentist to relieve and prevent further discomfort<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any medical conditions that may be impacted by herbal ingredients, be sure to consult your dentist before trying any of the following home remedies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home Remedies for Toothache Relief<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re experiencing a toothache, the number one thing on your mind is how you\u2019re going to soothe the pain. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways you can alleviate your discomfort using what you have around the house:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wrap it in a towel or hold ice water in your mouth and apply it around the affected area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over-the-Counter Medication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Alternate between acetaminophen and ibuprofen for better pain relief or apply gels such as Oraiel directly to the area to numb or ease your discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt Water Rinse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rinse with warm salt water to dislodge food particles and reduce inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hydrogen Peroxide Rinse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use a mix of one part 3% hydrogen peroxide and two parts water as a mouthwash. Make sure NOT to swallow the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tea Bags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Apply a cold or warm tea bag (used is fine) to your tooth. Peppermint tea is especially helpful because it has bacteria-fighting properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garlic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Apply crushed garlic paste to the painful area, chew on a clove of fresh garlic, or soak a cotton ball in garlic oil and apply it to your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla Extract<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Put a little vanilla extract on a cotton swab or a clean finger and apply it to your tooth a few times a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clove<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Put clove oil on a cotton ball or swab and apply it near the affected area, place a drop directly on your tooth, or put a drop into a glass of water to act as a mouthwash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thyme<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thyme oil can be used the same way as clove oil for some relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wheatgrass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use a glass of wheatgrass juice as a rinse several times a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elevate Your Head<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Put a few pillows under your head or sleep upright in a chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
