Dealing with a toothache<\/a> can derail your entire day. The pain is unforgivable, and you often find yourself willing to try just about anything to feel better. But before you resort to drastic measures, have you considered trying one of the many natural, at-home remedies that are available? Get rid of the pain that is dragging you down by trying one of these 5 solutions that you may already have in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hydrogen Peroxide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rinsing with hydrogen peroxide can be a great way to minimize discomfort associated with a toothache. Not only does it help with the pain, but if there is any swelling, it is beneficial in lessening inflammation and eliminating bacteria. All you need to do is combine the hydrogen peroxide with equal parts water. Simply swish it around in your mouth and spit it out. It is also great if you have gums that bleed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

One of the most popular and common natural remedies recommended by dentists is a saltwater rinse. There is a good chance you have salt somewhere in your cabinet or pantry, so add \u00bd teaspoon of salt to a full glass of warm water. Swish it around in your mouth before spitting it out. You can do this multiple times each day. The saltwater works to disinfect the mouth and eliminate bad oral bacteria. It can also minimize pain and swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garlic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you think garlic is only good when used on pizza or other Italian dishes, you\u2019ll be surprised to learn it is also great when battling a serious toothache. Surprisingly, this common ingredient in your pantry can help kill bacteria and reduce tooth pain. All you need to do is crush a garlic clove until it is the consistency of a paste. Applying it to the affected area will deliver immense benefits that allow you to feel relief from the discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla Extract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla extract may be good when baking cookies, cakes, or other sweet desserts, but because of its alcohol content, it is also helpful in reducing pain. Acting as a numbing agent, the vanilla extract also helps to heal the area. It is important that you use real vanilla and not the artificial kind when placing a small amount on a cotton ball and applying it to your affected tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Oftentimes, patients who undergo dental surgery of any kind are recommended to use cold compresses to reduce swelling, but the same can be said if you have a toothache. Using the 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off method, you can apply it to the affected area to help reduce discomfort and inflammation. It is safe and effective when performed every few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these are only a few of the many natural, at-home remedies you can try, it\u2019s important to remember that you should always call your dentist if you suspect the problem is serious. Your dental team will work to get you in right away and help you out of pain as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
