Toothaches are common, especially if one prefers to eat a lot of sweets. ROSHANI DEVI shares easy home remedies that can help ease the pain without much hassle
We all might have had a toothache at least once in a while. While as painful it is, it is also extremely annoying.
Here are a few remedies that can help relieve the pain.
Rinse with salt water. Salt water is a natural disinfectant. One can rinse their mouth twice to relieve the pain and inflammation caused by bacteria.
Use garlic. Garlic can help in killing the harmful bacteria that causes dental plaque and can also help in relieving toothache. Crush a clove of garlic and apply it to the affected area and let it sit for five minutes. Alternatively, you can also chew a clove of garlic.
Cloves can help. Cloves are known to relieve toothache and reduce inflammation for many years. Dab a small amount of clove oil onto a cotton ball and apply it to the affected area. You may want to dilute the clove oil with a few drops of a carrier oil, like olive oil, or water. Do this a few times per day.
You can also add a drop of clove oil to a small glass of water and make a mouthwash. Use it twice daily for best results.
