Toothache
Nearly everyone
had
been in a
situation
needing a natural remedy for toothache. That's why I made this pretty
collection of well proved home remedies for tooth ache. I summarized
all
the
well and lesser known old home remedies for tooth pain which bring
toothache relief. I am sure you know: the best treatment is prevention,
so take proper oral care!

Cause
of Toothache
-
Dental
caries (tooth decay):
a small cavity in the protective enamel of the tooth can lead rapidly
to tooth decay. If left untreated, the tooth beneath the enamel will
begin to rot, it attacks the deeper structures of the tooth, causing
toothache. When the process progresses the inner core (pulp) becomes
affected and infected the tooth may die. In case of dental caries home
remedies represent only first
aid help, please organize a dental
treatment!
-
Abscess: an
accumulation of pus in or around the root of a tooth is known as a tooth
abscess, which can be agonizingly painful and may cause
swelling
(gum boil). Home remedies can help to burst the tooth abcess,
disinfect
and clean the surrounding area. Even then, a visit at the dentist is
necessary to clarify the underlying cause of the abcessed tooth.

more about the treatment of abcessed tooth.
-
Gingivitis
(sore gums): inflammation
of the gums, when the gums become purple-red, soft, shiny and sensitive
and bleed easily especially when you clean your teeth. If gingivitis is
left untreated, then pockets of infected pus can develop at the base of
teeth, followed eventually by gum boils and loose teeth. Cure for
gingivitis is extremly important. Home remedies
for toothache
may give a tremendous help, keeping gums healthy or healing
gingivitis.

tips and herbal cures for gingivitis
-
Teething:
is the
process when
milk teeth erupt from the gums in young children. It can be very
painful, gums are swollen and red. A similar situation occurs in young
adults, when whisdom teeth erupt. Whisdom teeth may cause a lots of
pain as well.
-
Radiation:
pain
radiates from a nearby structure resulting the feeling of toothache.
The most important causes:
- sinus
problems,
- trigeminal neuralgia etc.
Best
is to clarify the situation with a specialist and tailor the treatment
according to the underlying cause.
So,
lets see now our valuable home remedies for tooth pain:
The
best old home remedy is CLOVE (Syzygium aromaticum)
-
The
most simple possibility is to hold a whole clove or a few cloves in the mouth near the painful tooth and chew or suck it.
-
Another
kitchen option is using clove powder around the tooth or fill the tooth with the powder. You can empty a
teabag and put the clove powder in the empty teabag and place this
clove bag in the mouth.
-
My last suggestion is
aromatherapy for toothache: using clove oil (essential oil of cloves).
Rub the oil on to the aching tooth and around the gum this will
anesthetize the whole area. Don't overuse it or you may burn the gum.
You can also dip a piece of cotton wool into some clove oil, roll into
a
ball and stick it into the painful part of the tooth. Clove has
antiseptic and painkilling properties, which work immediately after
administration. Within 5 minutes you should be pain free.

Another kitchen remedy is our
good, old GARLIC (Allium
sativum)
-
You can simply chew a clove
of
raw garlic, or rub it on the gums and the particular tooth for about 5 minutes. It causes
burning and throbbing of the gums, but it is o.k.
-
Another
good but not very tasty solution is
to dip
one clove of garlic in rock salt and to place on the
affected
area.
-
You can also make a garlic-mouthwash:
crush a couple of raw garlic cloves (4-10) in cold water (a glass half
way filled). Swish this elixir around the infected, painful area.
If you don't have garlic
at home, you can use a piece of raw ONION (Allium cepa) and keep inside the mouth, it
relieves the
pain and is antiseptic.
If you can't stand the smell of
onion or garlic, than you may try GOLDEN
SEAL,
the yellow root (Hydrastis canadensis) and old folk medicine in the US.
You can use a piece of the yellow root itself or Golden seal tincture -
put it on the affected area (it especially helps with abscess). Leave
it in your mouth as long as you can stand it.
Dentists often
suggest an ICE PACK in case of
oral inflammation.
It helps with the swelling and keeps the infection from spreading. Put
it 5 minutes on and 5 minutes off. It is better using ice cubes, than
deep frozen stuff. You may combine it with any other methods, mentioned
earlier.
Ayurvedic
treatment (oil pulling)
There are dozens
of homeopathic remedies working
well in toothache. Without knowing the cause of the pain, I suggest
following remedy combination:
- COFFEA
C12 and
- PYROGEN C12
Taking
alternately every 30-40 minutes for a couple of hours (2-3 pills
dissolving under the tongue). You may use it together with other home
remedies.

Tooth Abscess
The accumulation of pus in or around the root of a tooth is known as a
tooth abscess. An abscessed tooth can be agonizingly painful and may
cause the affected tooth to loosen. Dulling the pain and trying to
drain the gum boil is only a first aid of course.
Cure for
Gingivitis
Gingivitis or inflammation of the gums is tremendously widespread among
modern people. Cure for gingivitis is from great importance.
Oil Pulling
As you know perhaps AYURVEDA loves treatments with oils, like oil
pulling. A huge range of different methods exist for detoxing and
healing several diseases. Oil swishing is able to cure gingivitis and
brings quick toothache relief.
