For your tooth pain, clove oil can be quite effective and is often recommended in Siddha-Ayurvedic practice for its analgesic properties. To use clove oil, you should first dilute it. Mix a few drops of clove oil with a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil on a cotton ball, then gently apply to the affected area for a bit. Be careful not to use undiluted oil as it might cause irritation or a burning sensation. It works by numbing the area and easing the pain.
Peppermint tea bags can provide relief as well. Steep the tea bag in hot water, let it cool down to a comfortably warm temperature, and then apply it directly to the tooth. The peppermint acts as a mild anesthetic and its menthol content can soothe the pain.
Another remedy involves a paste made from a pinch of turmeric mixed with a little water. Apply this paste directly to the sore gum area around the tooth. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and could help relieve discomfort.
In addition, you might consider oil pulling, a traditional practice where you swish a tablespoon of sesame or coconut oil in your mouth for about 10-15 minutes before spitting it out. This can help reduce oral bacteria and may alleviate some of the discomfort.
If none of these remedies provide relief, it’s important to consult a dentist or healthcare professional. Persistent tooth pain could indicate a more serious issue, such as an infection, that requires professional assessment and treatment. Waiting too long could complicate things further, so please keep that in mind as you evaluate your symptoms.
