Typically, toothaches have two
main causes: when cavity damages the inside of the tooth and exposes a nerve
ending before it is dead, and when fibers holding down your tooth at the socket
become infected. Other causes of toothaches are the growth of a wisdom tooth or
decay or gum recession. It’s safe to say a toothache is one of the most
uncomfortable and sometimes, one of the most painful feelings you will ever
experience. Today we share 5 ways to help you ease a toothache in
the sometimes inevitable event of one.
You should know that though
remedies exist to help ease a toothache, the best thing you can do is go see a
dentist to fix the problem. The following remedies can only alleviate the pain,
but the problem still remains without proper treatment.
Rinse Your Mouth with Warm Water
This isn’t guaranteed to give you
instant relief, but it does help to clean your mouth and get rid of food bits
stuck in your teeth that might be bothering the painful spot. If the water is
too cold or hot, it can make the pain worse. So, be sure the temperature of the
water is lukewarm.
Apply a Warm Tea Bag on the Area
The natural tannins in the tea
can help numb the pain. Make sure the tea bag is warm, not hot, so it doesn’t
hurt your teeth further. Try not to overdo its use because it can stain your
teeth. This remedy is especially helpful for swelling or irritation of your
gums.
Try a Peroxide Rinse
This can be very helpful in
removing contaminants and helps to limit the growth of bacteria. It’s
especially good for impacted teeth and infections in your mouth. You can use it
for some relief, until you are able to see a dentist. But be sure not to use it
more than three times in a day and more than five days in a roll. This is
because it can make your teeth get very sensitive.
Rinse Your Mouth with Salt Water
This popular remedy for
toothaches helps to kill bacteria and make your toothache feel better. It also
helps to prevent your tooth from getting infected. To apply, you should mix 1
tablespoon of salt in a medium-sized glass of warm water. Swirl around your
mouth for a maximum of five minutes and spit out of your mouth. Avoid
swallowing the water in the process.
Garlic
Researchers believe since
allicin, an oily liquid in garlic, has been used to heal diseased teeth in
children, it can help ease a toothache. So you can either chew on a piece of
garlic or place chopped bits on your tooth to help ease a toothache.
