Effective Toothache Home Remedies

Dental pain can be reduced by a lot of effective remedies that are easily accessible at home. Some of them are as follows-

1. A mix of Olive Oil and Clove Oil
Clove oil is actually a well-known home remedy to provide temporary relief for toothaches. It contains a natural, built-in anesthetic chemical (Eugenol) that is considered a natural pain-killer. Eugenol is very potent and can make the pain worse if not applied carefully. Used separately, Olive Oil and Clove Oil can be used to relief pain but a mix of both is more effective.

Method
Mix a few drops of clove oil with olive oil (1:3 ratios) and thoroughly soak a cotton ball in this mixture. Use the soaked cotton ball and then hold it gently but firmly against the sore tooth or gum. Within 10 minutes the pain will seize.
2. Ginger-Cayenne Paste
Ginger and Cayenne are two spices that have long been used as effective painkillers.
Method
 Mix together ginger and cayenne with some water to make a paste. Place a cotton ball into the mixture until it is saturated and place on the affected tooth. Be sure to avoid contact with your gums and tongue as it will cause irritation.
3. Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is an excellent solution for cleaning away germs, relieving pain and reducing inflammation. If not diluted with water, Hydrogen peroxide can be very irritating. Hydrogen Peroxide kills infection by altering bacteria’s molecular structure. This it does through the process of oxidation in which case it attacks bacteria by destabilizing its molecules causing them to break apart thereby rendering them useless. This is why Hydrogen Peroxide in the presence of bacteria foams upon contact with open wounds.
Method
Add half a glass of Hydrogen Peroxide (3% food grade) to half a glass of water, swish it around in your mouth for 30 seconds spit it out and afterward rinse thoroughly with lukewarm salt water.
4. A mix of rock salt and Pepper

Also Swishing salt water around in your mouth will dislodge germs and plaque and the salt will provide natural antiseptics.
