Removing food particles stuck
If toothache is due to a stuck food particle, remove it immediately using a mirror and gentle techniques to reduce pain. Rinse your mouth thoroughly afterward.
Taking Proper Medication
If your dentist has prescribed medication for your toothache, taking it as instructed can help alleviate pain. If you don't have the prescribed medication, visit a pharmacy to obtain it.
Rinsing with saltwater
Using lukewarm water, mix in some salt to create a saltwater solution for rinsing your mouth. This can help reduce inflammation in the teeth and gums and promote oral wound healing. Be sure to thoroughly spit out the solution, as it may contain harmful bacteria.
Peppermint tea bags
Peppermint tea bags possess natural numbing properties that can temporarily alleviate discomfort around the affected tooth. Cooling these tea bags slightly can provide faster relief. The soothing sensation they offer can temporarily distract from the toothache pain.
