Naturally Get Rid of A Toothache

Toothaches can be one the most obnoxious things if you don’t get the pain fixed and taken care of. It is very important that you see a dentist if you are having any problems with your teeth. Most of the time a tooth aches because it is infected and the infection needs to be treated. Below are some home remedies that keep the pain at bay until you are able to get to the dentist.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Lemon Juice
  • Whiskey
  • Clove or Clove Oil
  1. Step 1

    My neighbor swears that Lemon Juice will kill the infection and take the pain away. Though this may be true, you still may want to get an antibiotic to help make sure the infection stays away.

  2. Step 2

    I have heard this next home remedy repeated over and over again down here in the south. ……Applying whiskey on the tooth that aches; I personally think that those recommending this are drinking the whiskey. Anyone drinking enough whiskey will learn that it will make all your pains go away; that is, until you wake up the next morning. I personally have not tried this and can’t imagine I will.

  3. Step 3

    Another new and clever way of getting rid of the pain is using a whole clove on your tooth. Many people will use toothpaste to help secure the clove on the top of the tooth, but I recommend applying it to the tooth without the toothpaste. If you can’t get a clove leaf, I have heard or people using the Clove Oil for the toothache. Remember, it does have a terrible taste, but if you can stomach it, try it. Make sure you use a clove and no other herbs.
