Does mouthwash help tooth pain?

Don't stress too much, just do a warm salt water rinse for now, it works way better than chemical mouthwashes for toothache. And book a quick dentist appointment for tomorrow!

I was reading that mouthwashes with benzocaine or clove oil can temporarily ease the pain. But if it's a deep cavity, no liquid is going to fix it long term.

Don't waste money on fancy mouthwashes for pain. Pressing a piece of clove on the painful tooth is a time-tested, cheap solution until you can visit a dentist.

When my wisdom tooth was coming in, using a medicated mouthwash prescribed by my dentist gave me some relief. But for sharp nerve pain, only a proper dental procedure helped.

It might give mild relief by washing away food debris, but painful tooth infections need medical attention. Keep your body active and fit, but don't ignore dental pain.

I always panic that minor tooth pain might turn into a root canal infection overnight. Mouthwash can disinfect the area, but please go see a doctor soon to prevent any severe nerve damage.
