Do you have any home remedies to stop a toothache? ?

Question

I can't sleep. I need to see my dentist in the morning but do you know of anything tonight in the meantime?

Answer 1

Ibuprofen (Advil)

I also tried chamomile tea once (well, it worked once).  Run a tea bag under hot water, then put it over the tooth.

Answer 3

Answer 4

chew on a clove.

Answer 5

The number one way to kill any toothache (remember its a temporary measure) is to dab clove oil on the tooth in question. make sure the oil soaks in good, it'll stop the pain in its tracks, see a dentist asap though.

Answer 6

I know it`s hard to think about doing, but it`s aching because there`s food particles irritating the nerve, so you must brush them out completely. Even though it hurts, when it`s cleaned out and a few minutes pass for the nerve to settle down, it will be much, much better to sleep.

Oh, and it doesn`t hurt to rinse it in warm saltwater after you brush it.

Answer 7

Try oil of cloves and some cotton balls.Saturate the cotton in the oil and either put it in a cavity  ( if you have one)or try to wrap it around the affected tooth.  It's late and I have seen it for sale in pharmacies, If the pain got worse after you lied down chances are you have a abscess, The only other thing would to take some Aleve or Motrin for pain and  elevate your head on a couple of pillows.Ouch ! I feel for you.

Answer 8

Press the ends of the fingernails together on the corresponding fingers.  i.e. each finger corresponds to two teeth on that side of the hand.  so small finger on left side means two teeth on the last up and down on your left molars.   Press them and keep it pressed for two minutes or go on pumping it for two minutes.  The pain will go away, the pain on the finger will also vanish.  Use Aconitum Nap Q on a cotton swab on the painful teeth, the pain will go in minutes.  Alternatively, Plantago Major Q could also be used to alleviate pain orally as well as externally.  

Answer 9

Vanilla extract on a q tip - apply to tooth and surrounding area. I swear by it! It's not a cure - but it should get you through the night!

Answer 10

Bite down on a clove and rub some rum on your gum.

Answer 11

Steep a tea bag and while it's still hot, place the tea bag between the hurting tooth and your cheek. It will mellow the pain. If you have baking soda, dissolve some in warm water and swish it around your mouth until you've used the whole glass. Oil of clove is wonderful too, it numbs the area, though most people don't have oil of clove lying around. I keep it just for that purpose. One of those practical purchases. I hope you feel better soon.  

Answer 12

Yes, use a clove but it's better to suck on it so you don't get all the nasty little pieces of wood through your mouth. Better yet, drop in to your chemist and pick up oil of clove. Tastes horrible but works miracles.  

Answer 13
