Home remedies for toothache

There are two ways to avoid toothache, prevent it or cure it!! While visiting your dentist is a must if a tooth starts decaying or aches constantly, some simple home remedies can also help in curing and preventing toothache. The following is a list of the most effective ones-

  • • Place a thin slice of garlic (preferably covered with rock salt) on the affected area. Your breath may not smell great after this, but your pain will certainly be alleviated.
  • • Gargling with wheat grass juice can act both as a preventive and curative measure as it has antibacterial properties.
  • • Applying clove oil on the affected tooth helps in relieving toothache.
  • • Rubbing alcohol on the affected tooth can also help in alleviating the pain.

Apart from these home remedies, remember to adopt good oral care habits, like brushing your teeth at least twice a day, avoiding excessive intake of sugar and candies and eating healthy.
