Whenever you have a terrible toothache, you should see your dentist<\/a> for help. They\u2019ll be able to treat your pain\u2019s underlying cause, whether it\u2019s a cavity, infection, or something else. With that said, you can still do a few things to manage your ache while you wait for care. Your Nepean dental practice will even tell you about them in detail, ensuring you remain stable. Just keep reading to learn four easy home remedies for severe toothaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A Cold Compress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A cold compress would reduce your tooth\u2019s pain. By applying one, you\u2019d feel more comfortable until you\u2019re able to receive proper treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact is that ice numbs all kinds of bodily pain. When it makes contact with a pained area, it slows down nerve impulses and reduces blood flow. Given these facts, try wrapping some ice in a towel and press it to the cheek nearest your tooth. Doing so for 15 minutes at a time should bring you relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt Water Rinses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another idea you should consider is a salt water rinse. Surprisingly enough, this practice can ease a bad toothache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A salt water rinse relieves pain through two effects. First, the rinsing can help dislodge any objects that are stuck between your teeth. Effect two is that the rinse would reduce inflammation, as salt is a natural disinfectant. All that said, mix a \u00bd teaspoon of salt with warm water and do some gargling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garlic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cloves of garlic don\u2019t just ward off imaginary vampires. Used well, they can also help you manage your tooth\u2019s pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, garlic is a natural pain reliever. Its antibacterial properties also help it kill the bacteria that cause dental plaque. So, you could ease your ache by making a crushed garlic paste and applying it to your tooth. You can also chew on a fresh clove of actual garlic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guava Leaves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Though better known for making tea, guava leaves do have other uses. A rather notable one is how the leaves relieve toothaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, guava leaves have anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. These traits allow the plants to soothe tooth pain over time, making a sore mouth more bearable. You\u2019d just need to add crushed guava leaves to boiling water to make a mouthwash, or chew fresh guava leaves directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These remedies for severe toothaches won\u2019t address the main issue, but they\u2019ll help you wait for more long-lasting care. Therefore, make good use of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
