Remedies for a Toothache

A toothache can ruin anyone's day by introducing a fair bit of pain into it. They cause your mouth to throb and make talking and eating very difficult. Really, nothing good comes from a toothache. If you are looking to get rid of one, try one of the following remedies listed here. They have all been used in the past to cure toothaches.

Garlic

• A clove of garlic should be chewed or placed on the tooth that hurting. Garlic is a common herb that is considered a cure-all for some, and it will help reduce the pain caused by a toothache.

Pepper

• A pinch of pepper mixed with some salt helps to remedy toothaches as well. It does this by reducing the sensitivity of the teeth, causing it to hurt less when pressure is put on it.

Limes

• Limes are full of vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant and helps improve the immune system. Suck on a lime when you have a toothache, and the juice will deliver a concentrated amount of vitamin C directly to the tooth in question.

Wheat Grass

• Chewing wheat grass will draw out and kill the bacteria in the teeth and gums. This helps to cure toothaches as well as prevent gum disease and other ailments of the mouth.

Rinse

• Sometimes a toothache is not caused by bacteria but something as simple as food that is lodged between teeth. Rinsing vigorously and regularly with water can dislodge the food and remedy the toothache.
