\"Saltwater<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Toothaches can be extremely painful, and they can happen at the worst times. When you have tooth pain, you should plan to see an emergency dentist as soon as you can. This way, they can get to the root of the problem and help to relieve your pain. Until you are able to see your dentist, there are some steps you can take at home to reduce your discomfort. Here are some home remedies that can help you get some temporary relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Saltwater Rinse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An excellent first step when you have a toothache is to rinse your mouth with saltwater. This will help to rinse away lingering food particles. Salt water is also a natural disinfectant and helps to reduce inflammation in the mouth and heal any oral wounds. To make a saltwater rinse, mix half a teaspoon of salt into a glass of warm water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Using a cold compress can help to constrict the blood vessels in the area and numb some of the discomfort you are experiencing. Cold temperatures also help to reduce inflammation. This is especially helpful if your tooth is in pain as a result of trauma. All you need to do is wrap a bag of ice in a towel and place it on the affected area for about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cloves have been used in traditional medicine for numbing because of its primary compound: eugenol. This is a natural anesthetic. To use clove oil, place about two drops onto a cotton ball and place it on the affected tooth. You can also chew on a whole clove to release the oil. Keep this in place for about half an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peppermint Tea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its natural flavor, peppermint tea has numbing properties. Take a teaspoon of dried peppermint leaves and add them to a cup of boiling water. Steep for about 20 minutes. Once the tea has completely cooled, swish it around out mouth. If you have teabags, you can apply a used peppermint teabag to the area when it is no longer hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thyme Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thyme isn\u2019t only a flavorful herb used in cooking, it also has antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Apply a few drops of thyme oil and add a few drops of water to a cotton ball. Place this on the affected area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should see your dentist if you are experiencing a toothache. Until you are able to make it to the dental office, some of these remedies may be able to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
