How to calm a toothache quickly? 7 Effective Grandma's Remedies.
Who has ever suffered from toothache knows how horribly painful it can be!
And, usually it never arrives at the right time, always on weekends or on a public holiday ...
Better to know what to do to ease the pain while waiting for a dentist appointment.
Luckily, there are 7 effective grandma's remedies for quick toothache relief.
1. Do a clove mouthwash
To calm a toothache quickly without medication, the effective trick is cloves.
Take 5 to 6 cloves. Boil them in a little water. After allowing it to cool, make a mouthwash with this infusion.
2. Chew on a clove
Take 1 or 2 cloves and chew them for a long time. The taste is not very pleasant but it will relieve you quickly. However, do not swallow the clove residue. Spit them out.
3. Massage your gums with the essential oil of cloves
Dilute 2 drops of essential oil of cloves in vegetable oil (olive oil for example). Now wash your hands thoroughly and massage your gums and teeth.
It is really effective, even if the duration of this pain relieving treatment is quite limited.
Clove has a really active essential oil.
Anesthetic, antiseptic and antibacterial, clove has all the ideal properties to alleviate pain before the dentist appointment.
4. Use tea tree essential oil
If you don't like the taste of cloves, there are other natural treatments that will give you comfort.
The essential oil of tea tree or tea tree is known to soothe dental pain.
You can use it pure by rubbing on the gums and on the tooth responsible for this horrible pain.
Anti-infectious, it is often recommended against dental pain in mouthwashes.
It is one of the few essential oils that is safe to use. We can use it undiluted for a faster and more powerful action.
As it is less effective than the essential oil of cloves, we do not hesitate to repeat the applications.
This is the technique I used for my last toothache and it worked after several massages.
5. Take paracetamol
It is the chemical molecule to have in the family pharmacy.
Inexpensive, paracetamol dosed at 500 mg is available without a prescription in tablets from your pharmacist. Less than € 1 for 10 tablets.
However, beware of overdoses! For an adult, it is not necessary never exceed 6 g per day, (2 tablets of 500 mg per maximum dose).
Also note that paracetamol is harmful in the long term for the liver.
6. Do a mouthwash
Composed of antibacterial agents, antiseptics, mouthwashes will act on the source of the infection and slow it down.
Pure in direct application on the tooth, they will be able to relieve you momentarily.
But beware the abuse of mouthwashes could have the opposite effect by destroying all your oral bacterial flora. No abuse so.
7. Apply ice
Suck ice cubes or eat ice cream soothes the pain. The cold will numb the gum and numb the pain for a while. You will be able to breathe for a few moments.
