Garlic
While it’s best to visit your dentist to get a professional opinion and appropriate treatment, some home remedies might help mitigate the pain. For example, garlic has long been touted for its health benefits and has been used as a natural remedy.
Some people believe that garlic can help relieve toothache pain because it’s antimicrobial and antibacterial. This means that it might help fight infection and reduce inflammation. Garlic also contains compounds like allicin which have analgesic properties.
There are several different ways that people can use garlic to try and relieve the pain of a toothache. One option is to mix equal parts of garlic juice and water and swish it around the mouth for about five minutes. This can be done two or three times per day until the toothache subsides.
Another way to use garlic is to place a peeled clove of garlic directly on the affected tooth. It is recommended to leave it there for about 30 minutes before removing it and rinsing your mouth out with warm water. Before trying any home remedy, it’s always best to consult a doctor or dentist.
