If you’ve ever suffered from toothache then you know how painful and discomforting it can be. It can become so severe as to distract you from being able to do anything. Thankfully there are a number of ways to help avoid toothache before it even begins and even more helpful home remedies to relieve the pain.The Best Home Remedies For Toothache
The first thing you should do if you have toothache is to take a painkiller or aspirin. For minor toothaches this could very well be enough to relieve the pain.
Garlic is a natural anaesthetic that you can use to relieve you of the pain caused by a toothache. What you an do is mash a clove of garlic into a paste and then brush it gently into the effected area. You can also mix in salt into the paste to create a very effective home remedy that both kills bacteria as well as the pain associated with a toothache.
If you don’t like the taste of garlic then you could just mix a teaspoon of salt into a glass of water. Then swill it around your mouth (as if it were mouthwash), especially concentrating on the area of the toothache, and spit it out after 30 seconds or so. The salt will kill the harmful bacteria in your mouth and draws out any bad fluid in the gums.
Ways To Avoid Toothache
If you are prone to toothaches then there are a few things you can do to lessen the chance of toothache occurring. A strong preventive action could stop you getting toothaches altogether.
- Increase your intake of vegetables and dairy. These are important nutritional requirements for healthy teeth.
- Eliminate sugary food and drinks from your diet.
- Brush regularly with a soft bristled toothbrush. This will avoid aggravating the nerves in your gums.
- Floss carefully and rinse with non alcohol mouthwash.
- Take regular exercise. Certain heart conditions can actually refer the pain to your teeth.
- If you smoke or chew tobacco commit yourself to quitting. If you need help try the Stop Smoking Hypnosis MP3 over at HypnoBusters which has helped many people quit smoking permanently.
