Do you have a toothache? Well, my name's Michelle. I'm a Dental Assistant with Solutionz, and I'm going to explain to you on how to stop a toothache naturally. Unfortunately, there is no exact way on how you can stop your toothache. You definitely want to go visit your general dentist, so therefore; he would be able to help you in stopping your toothache. He would be able to prescribe something for you that would fit your needs and the issues that you might be happing having, but until you can see your general dentist, one of the ways is you can try; you can actually get cloves and put add it, add water to cloves; create kind of like a paste. Place it on the area that you're having the toothache on. Leave it there and then about an hour to two hours; then rinse out your mouth, and then you would want to keep reapplying the clove paste throughout the day. What that would do is really kind of soothe the area. The natural ingredients that are in cloves is a more calming, soothing effect, so that will help stopping that toothache; not fully, but it would definitely help relieve the pain. You can also rinse with like some Listerine, or any type of like warm salt water rinses before you go to bed at night. You want to also maybe not lay down all the way when you sleep. You might kind of want to sleep in like a sit-up position, because when you lay down the blood starts flowing throughout your mouth, and it's going to start causing like a throbbing effect with the blood flow, but until you can see your general dentist, those are just a few pointers on how you can stop a toothache naturally. Once again, my name's Michelle, and I just explained to you on how you can stop a toothache naturally.
