Even after you make an appointment with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentalrose.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dentist<\/a> and buy your OTC pain medication, you could still be in for a day or so where you\u2019re distracted by your tooth. If that\u2019s you, then here are three home remedies you can try before your dental appointment to relieve some pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ginger Cayenne Paste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting with a little bit of a kick, applying a ginger-cayenne paste to a cotton ball and holding it to your tooth can have a numbing effect. The capsaicin in cayenne pepper is what makes it so spicy, but it\u2019s also been shown to cut off other pain messages to the brain. Just be careful not to get any on your tongue; the mixture is bound to be hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hydrogen Peroxide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many times, a toothache is caused by an infection either under the gumline or inside the tooth. This is more likely to be true if your toothache is accompanied by a sour taste in your mouth or a fever. Hydrogen peroxide, a disinfectant, can kill some of the bacteria causing the infection. Simply swish around a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution the way you would mouthwash, then spit it out. Afterward, rinse with water a few times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clove Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloves are rich in a chemical called eugenol, which is a natural painkiller. Put two drops of clove oil onto a cotton ball and place it directly on the affected tooth until you feel relief. You can even use whole cloves; place one on your tooth and bite down slightly, releasing the oil. If you go this route, you\u2019ll have to leave it for around half an hour before the pain will subside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note, however, that clove oil can irritate the soft tissue in the mouth. Apply the clove oil carefully onto the tooth itself, while being careful to avoid the gums and tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be reiterated that none of these procedures will cure your infection. Your toothache will not completely go away until the underlying issue is resolved by your dentist. Don\u2019t worry though, with these tips you\u2019ll be able to make it to your appointment with no problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Michael Rose approaches oral health as a collaboration between dentist and patient.
