Toothache Solution
A toothache😁 is a pain in and around the teeth and jaws. Tooth decay, an infection, loose or broken fillings, or receding gums can cause it.
- If your toothache is associated with swelling, holding a cold compress against the outside of your cheek (20 minutes on, then 20 minutes off) may provide some relief.
- Dip a cotton ball in clove oil and soak up a few drops. Gently rub the cotton ball over the sore area of your tooth and gums. Clove oil contains eugenol, a natural anaesthetic which is why clove oil helps with in reducing the intensity of toothache;
- Simply add a couple of teaspoons of salt to a cup of warm water. Once you’ve swished the mixture around your mouth, spit it out.
- Chewing a piece of garlic, or placing chopped bits on your tooth also gives relief.
If you have any symptoms of a tooth abscess – like a fever, facial swelling or incessant pain in your tooth, visit the nearest dental clinic and seek for advice
