All of us have experienced a toothache at least once in our life. And you know how frustrating the pain is that you want it to go away. The pain is so bad that sometimes we have to bang our heads to the wall to ease some of it, but it doesn't work that way. However, getting rid of that throbbing pain is not a difficult task. There are many remedies at home that can help to alleviate the pain. Below are some of the best and proven treatments for toothache. Get Direction for AACD Dentist, Michael Ayzin, DDS. Cold Compress When the skin becomes cold, your blood vessels constrict. That constricting action instantly numbs away the pain, and it can reduce the swelling. You can use a bag of ice or frozen peas in a towel and place it in the area where you're feeling the pain. Do this every 20 minutes until the pain stops. Garlic Garlic has impressive antibiotic properties and is known to relieve pain. All you have to do is crush a clove of garlic until it turns into a paste. Add a dash of salt, then place it in the area where the tooth hurts. Guava Leaves Guava leaves are known to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. This makes it one of the best treatments for your oral health problems. You can either chew on the leaves raw or boil the leaves and use it as a mouthwash to get rid of the pain. Vanilla Extract Vanilla extract is known to contain antioxidant properties that help numb the pain. All you need to do is moisten the cotton swab with vanilla extract then apply it to the affected area. Wait for a few minutes for the vanilla extract to take effect. Do this a few times a day. Peppermint Tea Bags If it is your gums that are causing the pain, steep a cup of peppermint tea. Let the bags cool for a few minutes then apply it to the area you're feeling the pain. Save the bags because you can re-use it by chilling it in a freezer for a few minutes then re-applying it to the pained area. The added cold temperature of the bags works to numb the area. Hydrogen Peroxide Mouthwash Hydrogen peroxide has antibacterial properties that are often used to treat wounds. The solution on its own can be harsh for your mouth, so you need to make a solution out of it. Mix 1/2 oz hydrogen peroxide to 1/2 oz of cold water (around 50:50 ratio). Pour the diluted hydrogen peroxide in your mouth and swish it. Continue swishing for one minute then spit it out. Repeat this process up to four times per day. Wheatgrass Juice Wheatgrass is known for its healing properties, particularly when taken internally. It can also be used as a mouthwash to treat inflammation and prevent oral infections. Rinse 1/2 glass of wheatgrass juice in your mouth for one minute. Repeat for at least twice a day. Find more here Find clinic directions here.
