Causes of Toothache and Home Remedies

What to Do at Home to Relieve Toothache Before Visiting a DentistRinsing your mouth with saltwater reduces bacteria. Applying a cold compress externally helps reduce swelling and pain. Warm tea bags (chamomile, peppermint, or clove) have a good anti-inflammatory effect. Rubbing garlic on the aching tooth acts as a natural antibiotic. For temporary pain relief, ibuprofen or paracetamol is recommended. If the tooth’s cavity is visibly open, or if there’s swelling or a fever, or if the pain persists strongly for 2-3 days, you should immediately see a dentist. Toothache is serious, but it can be prevented!
