Home Remedies for Toothache

[Osteo]

1. Salt - You don't get any more "common" than salt. A good salt water mouthwash helps get rid of tooth infection and can help to cure a toothache. A thorough rinsing of the mouth with salt water is important at all times and should be a regular part of your oral health routine.
2. Hot Pepper Powder - Adding a pinch of hot pepper powder to the salt is also a good idea -- if you can stand the heat. Pepper powder can have a nice numbing effect when you rub it on your gums.
3. Garlic - Placing a clove of garlic with a pinch of salt on the affected tooth helps relieve the pain. Garlic has antibacterial properties that kill the germs in the mouth.
4. Onions - Exactly the same use and effect as garlic.
5. Lime Juice - Lime Juice is a rich source of vitamin C and can help prevents tooth decay and also provides toothache pain relief.

Common causes of toothache are:

• Dental decay.
  
  
• A tooth fracture.
  
  
• A cracked tooth.
  
• Irritation of the pulp following dental treatment.
  
• An exposed tooth root, which often occurs if the gums have receded or are damaged.
  
  

Prevention is better than cure so it is important to keep gums and teeth healthy by eating very few sugary foods or drinks or preferably avoiding them altogether.

Brush your teeth regularly- at least twice a day.
