No “Little” Problem. Toothaches and referred pain relate to dental cavities, tooth pulp and substructures disease, immune system response (e.g., lymph system), and to non-dental bone structure involvement in the head and neck. Besides ache, there is irritability, pain sensitivity, whole-body response (e.g., chills), inflammation, and radiating head and neck pain.
“Emergency” Alternatives.
1.Rinsing with hot or cold water is the first thing to try to alleviate that toothache. Try dissolving a tablespoon of salt if there is no relief with plain water.
2.Brew chamomile tea according to directions. Use as a mouthwash at room temperature. Chamomile’s allergy components and ingredients may interfere with blood thinner medications. Don’t use with infants and younger children.
3.Caffeine in coffee stimulates the hurting area. Use tepid coffee as a rinse to ameliorate pain.
4.Chop and crush plantain growing in your yard, mixing in a few shakes of salt and some drops of olive oil. Place those components on toothache area or chew in for a few minutes before expectorating.
5.Take a root of echinacea from your garden (also available from herbal sources), moisten with water, and crush. Strain the juice through cheesecloth and apply to tooth and gum. Spit it out after a couple minutes.
6. Horsetail is a natural diuretic and is toxic to cattle. It is available as an herbal tea. Add a heaping herb teaspoon to a cup of boiling water. Rinse tooth and gum with the room-temperature brew before spitting out.
7.Cloves contain both pain-alleviating and antiseptic components. Take a small spoonful, add a little water, and let the cloves absorb the water. Take the moistened cloves and tuck them in around the tooth and gum and let the mixture sit for fifteen minutes before spitting out. People with bleeding problems should note that clove oil slows blood clotting. In children, side effects involve seizures, liver damage, and fluid balance issues.
8.Readily available in most groceries, garlic’s allicin is its anti-inflammatory. Peel two fresh garlic cloves and combine them with a teaspoon of salt and enough olive oil to liquefy the paste. Apply to tooth and gums several times a day, allowing it to remain for half an hour before expectorating. Side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and increased risk for bleeding.
9.The common extract vanilla in its natural form is suspended in an alcohol medium. Use a q-tip to apply to tooth and gum. Pain relief may take a number of minutes. Treatment can be repeated. Side effects are minimal.
10.Add a few teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water at room temperature and rinse the mouth several times a day. Vinegar’s calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus components relieve pain while pectin, acetic acid, and malic acid flush toxins out of the body.
11.Antioxidant cabbage has the capacity to heal and detoxify. Available in the garden or grocery store, its leaves may be finely chopped. Drops of olive oil can be added. Place directly on toothache or place leaves between cheek and gum. Spit out after a few minutes.
