Mint Tea
Using dried mint leaves to make tea is another effective way to relieve a toothache. Add one teaspoon of dried mint leaves to a cup of boiling water and let it steep for 20 minutes. Then use this mixture as a mouthwash. Alternatively, a mint tea bag can be brewed, cooled, and applied to the painful area. The anesthetic properties of mint provide temporary relief, but repeating this procedure may be necessary.
Hydrogen Peroxide
3% hydrogen peroxide is an excellent pain reliever that can reduce plaque, heal bleeding gums, and kill harmful bacteria. Mix this solution with an equal amount of water and use it as a mouthwash, without swallowing it. After spitting it out, rinse your mouth several times with clean water.
Clove or Clove Oil
Clove has been used for decades to treat toothaches thanks to its eugenol, a natural antiseptic. It is widely used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicines. To use, place a small amount of clove powder on the aching tooth or chew the whole clove to release its oil. Alternatively, apply two drops of clove oil directly to the affected area.
Guava Leaves
Guava leaves offer anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, reducing toothache, mouth ulcers, and swollen gums. Chew one or two guava leaves until the juice is released, or place a few leaves in boiling water. Once the liquid has cooled, add a little sea salt and use this solution as a mouthwash.
