Pain is one method the body uses to indicate that something is wrong. You might’ve pulled a muscle in your back lifting a heavy box or accidentally burned your hand while cooking. If you’ve ever had a toothache, you know tooth pain is no fun. If you’re unable to receive dental attention right away, you can try some tooth pain home remedies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tooth Pain Causes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, there are numerous ways<\/a> that you can wind up with a toothache. Worn down tooth enamel or a recessed gumline can expose the tooth’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

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

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

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

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

1. Clove Oil<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clove oil works to relieve pain and reduce the swelling that stems from the toothache. Clove oil is effective<\/a> 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

Clove oil may soothe your pain, but be aware that it doesn’t have the most pleasant taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Salt Water Rinse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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’ve swished the mixture around your mouth, spit it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that a study published in the Journal of the Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry<\/a> concludes that a salt water rinse can also help control plaque collection on teeth and prevent oral diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Hydrogen Peroxide Rinse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 Journal of International Society of Preventive & Community Dentistry<\/a>demonstrates that using hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash may reduce gingivitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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’t swallow it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Peppermint Oil<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peppermint oil in has been used historically to treat toothaches, according to the 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

Remember that tooth pain home remedies only provide temporary pain relief. Always consult your dentist if you’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":"
