Emergency Dentist: Home Hacks to Fight Toothache

Getting struck with a toothache at the middle of the night is something none of us want. But what will you do if something like that happens at an odd hour when you can’t even run to the dentist. At such times, the only way out is to use some home hacks to your rescue. There are many home hacks that can give you some respite from a severe toothache.

1) Salt Water

One effective remedy to get rid of toothache is to rinse your mouth with a mixture of warm water with a heap of salt dissolved in it. You can repeat this process till you get some relief from the excruciating toothache.

2) Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is a good cure for aches and pains. It has anti-bacterial properties because of its high acidity. It can heal your infected tooth because it is high in acetic acid and malic acid. To get some relief, all you need to do is dip a ball of cotton in some apple cider vinegar and keep it on the affected tooth or gums.

3) Baking Soda

Baking soda is acidic. Rinsing your mouth with a mixture of lukewarm water and baking soda can help you eliminate bacteria in your mouth. This can help you relive your tooth pain. Keep in mind to dissolve baking soda completely in water.
 
4) Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is another substance which has strong anti-inflammatory properties. A drop or two of tea tree oil can do wonders for you. You can either dab some tea tree oil to a cotton ball and keep it to the infected area or mix a few drops of it in lukewarm water and rinse with it.

5) Tea Bag

Tea consists of antioxidants. It has properties which can control bleeding. Tea bags can heal wounds and relieve pain. You can dip this tea bag in warm water and squeeze and hold it on the infected tooth or gums.
