Cure for toothache and mouth pain

I have gathered quite a few remedies for toothache and mouth pain. So if you are suffering I hope one of these will help. Pain in your teeth is an indication that something is wrong. None of these tips are by anyway an excuse for you not to visit your dentist as soon as possible.

To ease toothache or other mouth pain, make a tea by boiling 5g of fresh peppermint in 1 Cup of water and adding a little salt.
Peppermint is an antiseptic and contains menthol, which relieves pain when applied to skin surfaces

There are a few things you can try.

Personally I use oil of cloves. You can get it from most drug stores, chemists, you put a little of the oil on to some cotton wool and dab it onto the area affected. It will numb the pain.

You can also try the following take two whole cloves, the kind you stick into oranges around holiday time, place them between the offending tooth and your cheek. You might want to chew them a little to release their juices. This is a centuries-old trick that really works

Easyways says:- It has been pointed out to me that prolonged use of Cloves and Oil of Cloves can damage the nerve of a tooth. However I have used it many times, it does take away the pain and that is all that matters for me

Another remedy is soak raspberry or comfrey leaves in hot water for a few minutes and apply directly to the affected area

Another herbal tip is to drink an infusion of chick weed

The following was sent into Easyways
A toothache remedy that has been in our family for generations is.. add a few drops of vanilla flavoring (pure or artificial) to a Q-tip, or cotton ball, and apply to the tooth and surrounding gum area for a few minutes. Works great!!!
