Anyone Know Any Natural Remedies For A Toothache?


I have a horrible, horrible toothache. I can’t go to the dentist, so I was wondering if there were any natural pain relievers I could try?
Thanks for any serious answers!

    Besides pain medication which would probably do a good job, you can try a clove or clove oil.

    here are amazing these u can do
    1 – First try a pressure point remedy by rubbing an ice cube into the V-shaped area where the bones of the thumb and forefinger meet on one hand for 5 to 7 minutes.
    2 – A clove of garlic with a little of rock salt, placed on the affected tooth will relieve the pain. Alternatively you can chew a garlic clove daily in the morning.
    3 – A good home remedy for toothache is to Place 2 – 3 drops of vanilla extract on the tooth that is aching this will provide instant pain relief.
    4 – Apply a dab of “Vicks vapor rub” on the side of the face where the pain is. Place a paper towel on top and lay down in bed. The heat from the vicks absorbs into the skin and brings you toothache relief.
    5 – Cut off a piece of potato and put on your sore tooth for about 15 minutes.
    6 – A hot tea bag pressed to the tooth will provide almost instant relief.
    7 – Halls Cough Drops has a small amount of anestetic in it. Pop two in your mouth and let them disolve.
    8 – The juice of wheat grass is an excellent mouthwash for dental decay and cures toothache. It draws out toxins from the gums and checks bacterial growth.
    9 – Asafoetida grounded in lemon juice cures dental ache. Heat the solution, soak a cotton swab and place it in the cavity of the tooth to relieve pain quickly.
    10 – Paste of the bark of bay berry mixed with vinegar applied on the affected area will alleviate the pain and strengthen the gums.
    11 – Clove oil or oil of cloves is a mild anesthetic and applied to the cavity of the decayed tooth provides instant pain relief from the toothache. Oil of oregano on the paining tooth is also nearly as effective.
    12 – Try gargling some Listerine antiseptic.
    13 – Chewing leaves of the guava tree (if you have a backyard guava tree) will provide some relief from tooth pain.
    14 – A pinch of pepper and ¼ tsp of common salt prevents dental cavities, foul breath, bleeding from the gums, painful gums, and toothaches.
    15 – A pinch of pepper powder mixed with clove oil can be put on the cavities to alleviate the toothache.
    16 – Put an ice cube on the aching tooth or on the nearest cheek for 15-20 minutes at least 3 or 4 times a day.
    17 – Squeezing cotton wool soaked in brandy against the affected tooth helps numb the pain or try taking a swig of whiskey and holding it over the painful tooth.
    18 – If the pain in the mouth is caused by trapped food, take a mouthful of water and rinse it vigorously. A thorough rinse may dislodge the food particles.
    19 – Floss your teeth gently to remove tiny bits of hard food. Be soft on your gums as they are likely to be sore.
    20 – Gargle a glassful of water mixed with 1 tsp of salt after each meal and at bedtime.
    21 – Chewing raw onion for approx 3 minutes is sufficient to kill all the germs in the mouth and ensure protection from host of tooth disorders.
    22 – Lime prevents decay, loosening of the teeth, dental cavities, toothache and bleeding of the gums.
    hope this helped (:

    I feel your pain. as a Fruitarian I was told that the body will eventually heal itself including a toothache. but I could not take it so I had to barrow money & go to the dentist. Try raw garlic and apply them on the tooth for a few minutes. Eat apples slowly it reduce pain.
    good luck,
    I feel your pain hun,
    Fred.
