How to stop tooth decay pain?

I tried putting clove oil, garlic paste, and even ginger on my decaying tooth for months to avoid the dentist. While they gave me temporary relief for an hour or two, the decay only grew deeper. Don't delay the actual dental filling like I did.

Beta, wash your mouth thoroughly after every meal so food doesn't sit in the cavity. You can press a clove near the tooth to soothe the ache for tonight. But do go to a good dentist tomorrow to get it cleaned properly.

I was reading that once tooth decay reaches the dentin layer, the pain becomes constant because of food packing. It seems the only way to stop it is to get the cavity cleaned and filled by a professional. Home tips can't rebuild the enamel.

I had this sharp pain whenever I drank cold water due to a hidden cavity. I used a sensitive-relief toothpaste which helped reduce the sensitivity temporarily. Please get it checked soon so they can do a simple filling before it reaches the nerve.

If you have a busy work schedule, don't ignore mild decay pain, as it can suddenly flare up into a severe emergency. Book a quick weekend appointment with a dentist to get a simple filling. It takes just 30 minutes and saves you days of pain.
