You might&#8217;ve pulled a muscle in your back lifting a heavy box or accidentally burned your hand while cooking. If you&#8217;ve ever had a toothache, you know tooth pain is no fun. If you&#8217;re unable to receive dental attention right away, you can try some tooth pain home remedies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Tooth Pain Causes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, there are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.colgate.com\/en-us\/oral-health\/life-stages\/adult-oral-care\/culprits-of-severe-tooth-pain-0316\">numerous ways<\/a>&nbsp;that you can wind up with a toothache. Worn down tooth enamel or a recessed gumline can expose the tooth&#8217;s dentin, the layer of hard tissue located under the enamel. This makes your teeth sensitive to cold and hot liquids or sugary drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cavities are another common pain trigger. Once the sensitive nerves in your teeth are exposed, an act as simple as biting something hard could be painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you bite down on something too hard, you could have a cracked tooth. Trauma from an accident can also crack a tooth. A severe enough crack may expose the tender nerves that reside deep in your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes dental work that was performed to fix one problem can cause another problem. Fillings and crowns can become loose or cracked, resulting in tooth pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your first inclination to relieve a toothache might be a cold compress or an over-the-counter pain medication. But there are other methods you can try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Clove Oil<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clove oil works to relieve pain and reduce the swelling that stems from the toothache.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.colgate.com\/en-us\/oral-health\/conditions\/dental-emergencies-and-sports-safety\/clove-oil-for-toothache-pain-0316\">Clove oil is effective<\/a>&nbsp;because it contains eugenol, a natural anesthetic. It acts as a temporary pain reliever. Soak up a few drops of clove oil in a cotton ball, then gently rub the cotton ball over the affected teeth and gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clove oil may soothe your pain, but be aware that it doesn&#8217;t have the most pleasant taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Salt Water Rinse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water if you have a painful tooth and swollen gums. Simply add a couple of teaspoons of salt to a cup of warm water. Once you&#8217;ve swished the mixture around your mouth, spit it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that a study published in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/28914244\">Journal of the Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry<\/a>&nbsp;concludes that a salt water rinse can also help control plaque collection on teeth and prevent oral diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Hydrogen Peroxide Rinse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like salt water, a hydrogen peroxide rinse can relieve pain and swelling in the mouth. In addition, it can help kill bacteria, reduce plaque and heal bleeding gums. A study published in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4916793\/\">Journal of International Society of Preventive &amp; Community Dentistry<\/a>demonstrates that using hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash may reduce gingivitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you use this rinse, make sure to correctly prepare the solution. Mix 3 percent hydrogen peroxide with equal parts water. Swish it around your mouth, but don&#8217;t swallow it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Peppermint Oil<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peppermint oil in has been used historically to treat toothaches, according to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1878535211000232\">Arabian Journal of Chemistry<\/a>. This essential oil has antibacterial properties that may reduce tooth pain, making it a popular choice for those seeking short-term toothache relief until dental help is available. Use a cotton ball to apply a few drops of oil to the affected area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that tooth pain home remedies only provide temporary pain relief. Always consult your dentist if you&#8217;re suffering from tooth pain, as they will be able to conduct a thorough dental examination to discover the root of the problem and find a solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pain is one method the body uses to indicate that something is wrong.
