Question

What is the most natural way to combat toothache?

Answer 1

Dampen your finger and press it into some cloves (spice) and gently place in on your tooth.

Get to the dentist as soon as you can it won't go away until you do.

Answer 2

Toothache comes from bacterial infection and/or pressure on the dental nerves.

If you have holes in your teeth, infection is going to be inevitable.

Bizarrely enough, toothpaste doesn't do your teeth any favours.  Some people blame the glycerine and even the flouride.

All I can say is I started using a mix of baking soda and sea salt instead and my extensive teeth problems disappeared in about 2 days:

Answer 3

Gently chew on a whole clove.  Cloves naturally contain an anaesthetic that dentists have used for a long, long time.

Answer 4

Rub salt around gums and teeth and gorgle with water after 10 mts twice a day and donot eat atleast for 20 mts after that.

Answer 5

Rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide (and possibly hold it in your mouth right by the affected tooth).  It works tremendously well, and I've used it on a lot of friends.  Store bought 3.5% works, but some people like to dilute it a bit.

Also, at the very least completely cut soda from your diet while the tooth ache is happening, and if possible sugars and then grains (ie most processed foods).  That will go a long way towards helping the tooth ache.  I don't know how fussy you want to get about healing the tooth ache, but at the very least soda needs to go because it has an absolutely devastating effect here.

Hope that helps!

Answer 6

Crush one asprin

put directly into the tooth hole(cavity)

Then call a dentist to pull it

Whiskey if you are of age

The Garlic if not

Answer 7

rub some cayenne pepper round the affected tooth and gum.

Answer 8

Accupressure. Pinch the skin between your thumb and first finger. You may have to adjust the pressure and the exact point but it will make your toothache go away every time. However, if you have a chronic toothache, your next step is the dentist.

Answer 9

Toothache pain is caused by the infections swelling.

I have had great success with Vitamin C, I take a 1000 mgs an hour until I can't anymore

With most pain you need to start whatever you are going to do as soon as you feel a little twinge-once it gets full blown and you are looking for a gun...it's almost too late and it will run it's course

But, vitamin c is a natural antibiotic and natural antihistamine (I also took it when I was younger to combat hay fever)

Make sure you take a multiple with it that has lots of B vites.  You need the B vites to digest the C. Otherwise you will get low on the B's.

While you are in your pain rotate bottles out of the fridge to hold against your cheek.  When one warms up go grab another cold one.  Much less messy than ice cubes

It doesn't hurt to have some of the tubes of Ora Jel available, they greatly help with the pain.  But, you have to get rid of the infection in order to forego more problems.  The ora gel will not help with the infection

I also have had great success with ibuprofen.  I'd overdose on it.  I'd take 3 wait 10-15 minutes and take another 3 until the pain subsided***this is not the best way to handle it***there is a reason that there are warnings on the package.

Guess I should suggest seeing a dentist.  I'm terrified to the point that I even cancelled my kid's appointments.   Not to worry I finally took them when needed, I just sat in the car.

As a sidelight and now that I know about raw garlic, I would now swallow some raw garlic in addition to the vitamin c

Answer 10

clove tobacco or smoke some marijauna
