We’ve all experienced a toothache at some point – that unbearable pain that seems impossible to soothe.

It’s a common pain that ALWAYS seems to appear on the weekend when your dentist is unavailable. Knowing these home remedies for toothache can help you calm the discomfort.

Maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding sugar and alcohol, not smoking, applying ice to the affected area,

removing food particles with dental floss, consuming soft foods and warm infusions, and sleeping on the side that isn’t affected are general recommendations to help ease the pain until you can see your dentist. Along with these suggestions, here are four home remedies using common household ingredients to alleviate pain.

Many of us have experienced tooth or ear pain and know how unbearable it can be. It can change our mood, making us irritable if we can’t find relief. Here are four home remedies for toothache that can help alleviate this irritating discomfort. Let’s check them out…

Warm Salt Water:

The combination of these two ingredients creates a solution that soothes pain with its antiseptic properties.

Just dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a glass of boiling water, stir until the salt fully dissolves, let the solution cool, and rinse your mouth for at least 30 seconds.

Marcela Tea with Propolis:

This mix can be very helpful when tooth pain appears suddenly, as it has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties that can immediately relieve pain when used as a rinse.

To prepare, mix 30 drops of propolis extract and 2 tablespoons of dried Marcela leaves with 1 liter of water. Bring the water and leaves to a boil for at least 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it cool. Strain the infusion, add 30 drops of propolis extract, and use it as a mouth rinse.

Clove:

Clove is an excellent option for relieving tooth pain due to its analgesic and bactericidal properties, thanks to eugenol.

This natural remedy is affordable and easy to find. Alternatively, clove essential oil, available in health food stores, has an even stronger analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. To use it,

apply a drop on a cotton ball or swab and apply it to the affected tooth for 2 minutes, but no longer, as it can irritate the gums. Another safer option is to add 4 drops of clove oil to half a cup of warm water and use it as a mouth rinse.

Garlic:

While it’s not pleasant to chew garlic, it’s effective for tooth pain relief. Chewing it or placing half a clove on the affected area can provide immediate local relief.
