7 Solutions to Finding a Natural Toothache Remedy That Works For You

By Derek Blandford

When you experience severe toothache pain, the only thing on your mind is finding a solution that will help take away the pain. There's no doubt that a toothache can be debilitating and finding a cure isn't always easy. In some cases you may know why your teeth or gums hurt because you may have just got your wisdom teeth removed, may have a cavity, a broken tooth, tooth decay, etc. Other times the pain jolts you out of nowhere. Is there anything that can be done to prevent yet another trip to the dentist?

You may not realize it, but there are actually a wide variety of natural remedies for toothache. Results vary from person to person, but they are often worth trying before you make an expensive dentist visit. For a severe toothache, they may give you enough temporary relief to get back to sleep or make it through the day so you can keep up with your busy schedule.

Here are 7 solutions to finding a natural toothache remedy that works for you.

Mouth Wash Solutions

One way to relieve toothache pain is to wash and rinse your mouth with substances that help numb the tooth. This also has the added benefit of helping to remove food and other particles that may have become lodged in around the tooth causing the pain. To use each of the remedies below, simply mix them with a glass of warm water and swish them around in your mouth for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then, spit the solution out. Do not swallow. You can repeat the process as often as needed.

1.) Spoonful of salt
2.) Alcohol such as brandy, whiskey, scotch, or vodka (can be used without dilution in water)
3.) Hydrogen peroxide
4.) Tea tree oil (only requires 1 or 2 drops)
5.) Spoonful of baking soda

If the above mouth washes don't work, here are 2 other solutions you can try.

Ice Pack And/Or Heat Pack

Some toothaches respond better to cold while others respond better to heat. First try numbing the tooth with an ice pack. Cover an ice pack with a dish towel or cloth so it doesn't freeze your skin and hold it over your cheek where the problem tooth is located. If the cold doesn't seem to help take the pain away, then use a heating pad in the same way. Just be sure it isn't so hot that it burns your skin.

Make A Cup Of Tea

Not only can a cup of tea help soothe and relax you, but you can also use it to stop a toothache. To use tea as a toothache treatment, simply take the used tea bag after you've made your cup of tea and hold it over your problem tooth for a few minutes while it's still warm. The tannins from the bag will soak into your mouth and act as a natural numbing agent.

If you're still experiencing pain after trying the natural toothache remedies above, you may require a more powerful solution.
