It may seem harmless, but a severe toothache deserves quality dental care. The pain could point to an oral infection \u2013 something only a dentist can treat. That said, don\u2019t just be passive as you wait for your dental visit<\/a>. Try some home remedies for toothaches before the appointment; they should ease your discomfort. As for suggestions, your Eugene dentist will gladly offer a few. Here are four things that reduce toothaches from the comfort of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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

Ice numbs all sorts of pains, toothaches included. Applying it makes nearby blood vessels constrict, reducing your discomfort. As such, press a cold compress near the aching tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should you lack a typical compress, don\u2019t worry. A towel-wrapped bag of ice is a good alternative. If you hold it near the affected area for 20 minutes, your pain should fade. You can then repeat this process every few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saltwater Rinses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As it turns out, salt water is a disinfectant. This liquid can (and will) reduce irritation from microbes. Plus, it can loosen food bits stuck between teeth. Given these facts, a saltwater rinse is a helpful remedy for toothaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the salted water, you don\u2019t need much. Simply mix one teaspoon of salt into a glass of water. You can then gargle and rinse as needed. Over time, doing so will reverse your tooth\u2019s inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

If you didn\u2019t know, garlic has been used as a medicine for thousands of years. Its antibacterial traits help it kill harmful bacteria and relieve pain. Therefore, this veggie can be a temporary fix for toothaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When using garlic on a toothache, act simply. Crush a clove to create a paste, which should be applied to the affected area. Otherwise, you can slowly chew a bit of fresh garlic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clove Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another pantry item for toothaches is clove oil. After all, this spice is a well-known remedy for numbing nerves. Its main chemical compound \u2013 eugenol \u2013 is a natural anesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should you try clove oil, use it carefully. It\u2019ll likely worsen your pain if it gets on your tongue or gum tissue. Instead, just put two drops of clove oil on a cotton ball. You should then place the ball against your tooth until the pain recedes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even as you wait on a dentist, home remedies for toothaches can help you manage. So, remember the ones above when you next face tooth pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
