You can keep a clove pressed near the aching tooth or do warm salt water rinses for some relief. But if you have swelling on your face or severe throbbing, please don't rely on home remedies. Go see a dentist immediately.

Avoid cold foods and sugary sports drinks completely if your tooth is hurting, as temperature sensitivity makes it worse. Simple warm water with salt is a great natural disinfectant to keep the mouth clean until you can see a dentist.

I know how exhausting tooth pain is, it literally ruins your sleep and makes you feel so miserable. Pressing a cold compress on the outside of your cheek can help numb the pain slightly so you can rest. Please get it checked soon.

I was reading that garlic has natural antibacterial properties which can help with dental pain if you chew a small clove. Has anyone actually tried this? I'm just curious if it works or just makes your breath smell!
