1) Cloves - When
it comes to natural home remedies for tooth infections, there is nothing that
ranks higher than cloves! Cloves contain extremely powerful antibacterial,
anti-inflammatory, and anesthetic properties that help alleviate tooth pain.
The anesthetic properties also help to fight off the infection.
The
Remedy:
- Take a pair of cloves and grind them with a little mix of olive oil or vegetable oil.
- Apply the clove solution onto the affected tooth.
- Dab clove oil solution onto a cotton ball, and rub directly on the affected tooth.
- You can also mix a few drops of clove oil in half a glass of water, and use it as a mouthwash after the dabbing process.
2) Warm Salt Water - All it takes is a glass of warm water mixed with a bit of salt, and you
can reduce the pain of a toothache. This homemade mouthwash solution will
assist in fighting bacteria that causes tooth decay and infection.
The
Remedy:
- Mix half a spoon of common salt in a glass of very warm water.
- Gargle thoroughly with the warm salt water solution.
- Repeat a few times, or until you feel better.
3) Ice Cube - Head over to the freezer and pull out a couple of ice cubes. The ice
cube helps numb the infected nerves, which causes the horrible pain. Dentists
use ice to test for sensitivity on teeth as well.
The
Remedy:
- Place an ice cube inside a Ziploc bag and wrap it in a thin cotton cloth.
- Hold the bag over your cheek near the aching tooth for a couple of minutes.
- The ice will then indicate the exposed nerves. Take a bit of caution when applying the ice.
