There are two main reasons for toothache. The first is when the inner part of the tooth is under threat and the dental nerve dies. The second reason is when the fibers that hold the tooth in the bone socket become inflamed. Follow these tips to help relieve toothache.

Steps

1. 1 Take pain relievers. If the pain is very severe, take pain relievers to relieve it until you understand the true cause of the pain.
2. 2 Make an appointment with your dentist. You will not be able to cure a tooth at home on your own, but only alleviate the pain for a short time.
3. 3 Buy clove medicines and cotton swabs. You can find them at most herbal shops. The medicine comes in a small bottle with a tiny dropper built into it. If you can't find a cure, buy clove flowers from your local grocery store. The product bought in the store will not contain such a strong concentration, therefore the effect will be weaker.
4. 4 Buy Listerine mouthwash, but not mint.
5. 5 Apply a few drops of clove oil to a cotton swab. Apply the medicine directly to and around the area that hurts. Toothache has the ability to displace, so it may seem that a completely different area of ​​the oral cavity hurts. Just a few drops of clove oil are needed. You may feel a slight burning sensation, as the medicine dulls the sensitivity of the nerve endings. It is better to endure less than a minute from the action of the medicine than to endure a very severe and prolonged toothache.
6. 6 Take a small amount of Listerine mouthwash and hold it in your mouth for a few minutes. This may cause temporary discomfort, but it will ultimately help relieve pain. You need to rinse your mouth every 30 minutes.
7. 7 If you are unable to obtain the above medicines, try other methods.
   • Try rinsing your mouth with salt water, mint, cinnamon, or vanilla. At the very least, salt water can help prevent infection.
   • Rinse the affected area with a solution made from warm boiled water and baking soda.
   • Use strong alcoholic drinks. Fill your mouth with whiskey, scotch, vodka, gin, or any other available spirits. Hold the alcohol for as long as you can, then spit it out. The rinsing process should not take very long, a couple of minutes is enough. This method will help you fight pain until you can find time to visit the dentist, or to help you get restful sleep.
   • Change the direction of pain signals by rubbing the ice on the back of your hand, between your index finger and thumb.
   • Take a pain reliever. Over-the-counter medications can help relieve toothache.
8. 8 See your dentist as soon as possible. Don't even think that by relieving your toothache you will be able to avoid visiting the dentist.
9. 9 Self-hypnosis. If the above methods do not suit you, you think that they are very long, then try self-hypnosis. Meditation is a very simple and effective method. Just tell yourself that you cannot open your eyes, repeat this several times, and then open. Tell yourself that you are feeling very well and that your teeth are healthy. Be careful not to say anything negative while meditating.

A warning

• Never drink alcohol at the same time as pain relievers.
• Using clove oils several times a day for a month can cause permanent nerve damage. Therefore, if the pain lasts more than one week, make an appointment with your dentist.
