Question by moctwins2: Can anyone tell me what the BEST home remedy is for a Tooth Ache?
And please I know I have to see a dentist, and yes, I’ve already done that and have taken antibiotics, but I would like to know is there a certain mouthwash that kills the pain, Nerve Tooth Pain is what I’m dealing with and I don’t have dental coverage to keep going back to the dentist. I have taken the antibiotics along with Ibuprofin and Tylenol, I refrain from Narcotic pain pills since they are addicting. Any home remedies that I can try Please? Anyone????
TY.

Listerine!! Or just put an ice pack on it, or orajel
YANK that sucker out!!
I have always used a toothache remedy that you can find at any drugstore. It is called toothache relief but it is actually made from clove oil. It takes the pain completely away in around 2-6 minutes.
Good luck!!
I’ve heard of biting on a clove, but I don’t know how effective that is, I’ve never tried it.
i hear warm water with salt works ?
Oil of clove… and ice packs. Ibuprofen for the pain & swelling.
Clove oil! Take a bit onto a Qtip and apply it on the tooth. If u can’t find clove oil, smash a couple of cloves and place it there.
My mom always had me chew on a clove stem. It did numb it nicely.
A clove of garlic placed between the gum and the infection will suck the infection out. You can also do that with the tylenol…put it in between and let it dissolve. It won’t taste great, but it works. They both do.
cinnimon oil. try that. it worked for me. you can also pack it with salt
You can try pulling your own tooth, which isn’t advised. A surgical extraction costs a fraction of a root canal treatment. You really should go to the dentist. Your tooth will only get worse. The only OTC pain killers for tooth aches are ibuprofen/Tylenol.
try aleve. I took two after a root canal and it really helped. toothaches are the worse. I dont know any home remedies that work.
take a sip of vodka or some kinda alcholic drink and shake it in your mouth before you spit out..
And it might sound wierd but, if the tootache is dramatic, and you cant wait untill the painkillers start doing their job, go to shower, get hot water, ( keep your head away from hot water ) and masturbate…
I know it sounds wierd but according to researchs about aches, thinking about sex is the best way to kill the pain…
If you can stand the taste,try letting an aspirin tablet dissolve over the tooth.The pain relief will only be temporary,but at least you might get some sleep.You have my sympathy.Good luck.
Dab vanilla extract on it. It makes like a edible alcohol, takes it away for a little while. works good.
JACK DANIELS, lots of jack daniels!!!
1.take teabag boil for 1 minute and place on tooth… making sure it isn’t too hot. 2. Take an icepack and place it on the outside of your
mouth where the tooth hurts. 3. slice a onion peel and put it on your gums and tooth. 4. use vanilla extract on the tooth or even liquor. 5. Clean a cavity out with a toothpick then pack it with some cotton soaked in clove oil. I hope any of these helps.
try using cloves
I would try oil of cloves…but other than having actual dental treatment nothing is going to get rid of the pain. sorry
In addition to using the pain medication of your choice, sleep on an extra pillow to elevate your head. Sleep on the side that does NOT have a toothache. If that doesn’t work, you can move to a recliner or the sofa so you can keep your head really elevated. This will minimize the blood flow to the area and therefore minimize the throbbing and pain. This might help you make it through the night until you can see a dentist.
Ice pack is one of the best! I tried the ice pack around my cheek, ear, jaw, neck , it temporarily reduced the pain right away. But I had to keep doing it for a while until Ibuprofin & antibiotics worked. It did help me to get into sleep easily at night. I also used Clove Oil (can be found at any Indian Supermarkets). But since my pain lasts too long, I used too much clove oil and the skin under teeth almost broke out. So if you use Clove oil, be careful not to abuse it. When it hurts so much, I even placed an ice cube (put inside a snack zipped bag) right INSIDE under the tooth, . It helps taking away the pain at least for a few minutes. Never had this much toothache before in my life! I’m with you.
If you’ve been given antibiotics you have an infection of some sort gum or tooth either way you need treatment
if you cannot afford treatment there are free dental clinics in many cities or if you live near a dental school the students need patients to work on and the schools have sliding fee schedules or even free treatment
