Home Remedies for Toothaches

1. Oil of Cloves
   Take a small piece of cotton ball or gauze pad and put 1 to 2 drops of clove bud oil on it.  Stick the cotton ball or gauze pad directly on the hole. The piece should be large enough to fit into the hole snugly without falling out. Or, use clove oil (2-4 drops) in 1/4 glass of water for a mouthwash. Clove has a numbing effect and kill the bacteria also.
2. Oil PullingSwish coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil in the mouth and through the teeth for 5 to 10 minutes before spitting out. Practice oil pulling daily.
3. Garlic
   Placing a clove of garlic with little rock salt on the affected tooth helps relieve or even cure the pain.
4.  Activated Charcoal
   Activated charcoal can also help draw out the toxins.  Mix a teaspoon of activated charcoal powder with enough water to make a paste. Place some of the paste on a small piece of gauze, put the gauze on the sore area and bite down so that the paste surrounds your tooth.  Leave it on for up to 5 minutes, then remove the gauze and excess paste and rinse your mouth with water.  You can use this remedy 3 or 4 times a day, as needed.
5. Blackstrap Molasses 
   Holding organic blackstrap molasses in your mouth for a couple of minutes or smearing some of the molasses on the gums may help to push the pain back for several hours (unless blackstrap molasses’ sugar content makes it impossible to put on or near your painful tooth). Blackstrap molasses if full of magnesium and calcium, the minerals teeth need to repair and regenerate.
6. Colloidial SilverOnce per day, spray the infected area with 2 squirts of colloidial silver, 10 ppm.
7. Hydrogen Peroxide
   Floss first, then swish a mouthful of a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide in your mouth for a few seconds.  Let it stay in your mouth for about a minute, then spit it out and rinse thoroughly with water.  Do this once a day for 2 to 3 days in a row. Don’t swallow the peroxide and don’t use more than 3 days.
8. Echinacea and Aloe
   Open 2 capsules of echinacea and mix the contents with enough aloe gel to form a paste the consistent of toothpaste. Put a wad of the paste on the gum next to the aching tooth and let it dissolve.  Use as often as needed. The aloe will reduce the pain, while the echinacea will battle any infection causing the toothache.
9. Magnesium CitrateTake 1 teaspoons of magnesium citrate for 3-4 days for natural toothache pain relief. This will help with anysensitivity from sweet or very hot/cold foods and beverages. I’ve made this remedy part of my daily routine and hope to discover more health benefits of this great mineral.
10. LiquorOne of the best quick-fix home remedies for a toothache is, of all things, a good strong drink of liquor. By squeezing a wad of cotton wool soaked in brandy or vodka against the affected tooth helps numb the pain. You can also make the gum numb by taking a swig of Whiskey and holding it over the painful tooth. (My Dad was right!!!)
11. Black Tea
    If you don’t have time to go to a health food store and pick up items like charcoal, cloves or echinacea, put a black tea back over the toothache and the tannins in black tea will help draw out the toxins out of the tooth or gum.
12. Magic TinctureThis remedy is strictly for pain in the jaw or tooth pain. Pack this around the tooth that is giving you problems. If you can cover the tooth up it will generate heat. That will remove the pain faster than any toothache remedy. Mix 3 tablespoons charcoal, 1/2 teaspoon clove oil, 1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon olive oil (enough to make apaste), and 1 teaspoon of golden seal. The mixture should be quite thick, about the consistency of natural peanut butter. You want to be able to mould it around the tooth, so that it will stick. You will feel the heat and you can go wash your mouth out. If you are in a lot of pain the heat is comforting. The pain of the poultice drawing is less than the throbbing of the toothache.
