Dental pain is pain in the area of your jaw and face. It is usually caused when a nerve in the root of a tooth becomes irritated. However, other problems such as tooth infection, decay, or the loss of a tooth, can also cause dental pain.
Dental pain remedies can’t remove your dental disease at all, but can save you for some time.

Here are some home tested by people dental pain relieves. They say it helps! Maybe you should try it.

Anyway, you should be extremely careful making experiments with your teeth. But in this case it’s not so dangerous, because most of products you can use for ease dental pain are naturally which you can buy in any grocery.

1. Dental pain relief using cucumber.
Candy L.

Instructions:
Cut a good enough pieces to fit on the tooth that is hurting or any pain on the body and it will take the pain away.
P.S.: Remember to make sure that it is refrigerated it’s a better soothing feeling.
(And get to the dentist as soon as you can)

2. Dental pain remedy using dried peppermint, salt water and oats.
Carol H.

Instructions:
Place a little wad of dried peppermint leaves around the tooth or abscess, spit out after a few minutes.
If you repeat this several times during the day, it should bring the abscess to the surface, lance it with a pin and treat it again. Rinse with warm salt water.
Oats will work to draw out an abscess, but peppermint relieves dental pain as well.

3. Ease a dental pain with raw potato.
Amanda Alexander

Instructions:
If you have any cold potatoes in refrigerator peel the skin off and cut a good enough piece to fit on the tooth that is hurting or any pain on the body and it will take the pain away.

P.S.: Remember to make sure that it is refrigerated it’s a better soothing feeling.

4. Dental pain cure with real vanilla extract.
Trish G.

Instructions:
I suffer from constant dental pain. And whenever they hit, I know what to do! There are two ways to go about this remedy.

1. For dental pains that aren’t all that bad, put some real vanilla extract on a cotton ball and place on the hurting tooth. it’ll numb it!

2. For extremely bad dental pain (cant sleep, eat, drink, etc.) swish around some real vanilla extract on the side of your mouth that hurts. It wont taste good, but it will numb it completely. And you won’t have trouble sleeping just because of that pesky tooth ache.

5. Dental pain remedy with help of tea bag, garlic cloves and ginger root.
Irene B.

Here are my tips for easing dental pain:
- Use a wet tea bag, and place it on the sore tooth. This has helped me 9 times out of 10. In fact, I suppose you could keep a frozen tea bag in the freezer and use it on your tooth.
- Garlic Cloves placed on the tooth has helped ease the pain.
- Ginger Root – Shave a pies of and place on tooth. I hear that it helps with the infection, and it eased my pain, some.

6. Dental pain relief using olive oil and cotton ball.
Gayle A.

Instructions:
I have invented my own dental pain remedy: whenever I have a dental pain I use olive oil. Put a very small amount (probably just enough to cover the bottom of the cup or just a little bit more) on 10 seconds or until it is slightly warm to the touch get a spoon and have someone pour it in the ear on the side it is hurting.

Lay on your opposite side for about 30 seconds so it’ll have time to drain down. Your dental pain will hopefully be gone. This has worked for me countless times, even with an infected tooth. It also helps prevent ear infection. Hope it works for you!

P.S.: Please do not try to put it in your ear yourself; you will end up with a very slimy bath.

7. Remedy for dental pain using iodine.
Rebecca F.

Instructions:
I was told by a friend that a drop of iodine on a tooth helps kill the pain and stop abscess. So far it works great.
Just remember to drop it on let it sit DON’T SWALLOW. Then brush after.

8. Dental pain remedy using table salt and warm water.
Fosh S.

Instructions:
As many say, table salt and warm water is great, I used it and the dental pain didn’t completely go away but it’s nothing compared to the horrible dental pain it was at first. Works pretty well and brushing your teeth afterwards gets rid of the bad taste.

9. Dental pain relief using oil of oregano.
Jessica I.

Instructions:
I’ve had a lot of trouble with my teeth and sometimes no money for the dentist. Here are a few natural remedies for dental pain:

  1. Oil of oregano – apply directly to tooth or gum, tastes bad and burns a little but has natural anti-biotic properties.
  2. Colgate Peroxyl mouth rinse - for mouth lesions, contains mostly peroxide.
  3. Colloidal silver – this can be found at health food stores; also may have antibiotic properties. Hold a dropperful under your tongue and then swallow twice daily.
  4. Cashews/oil of cashew. I’ve heard that eating cashews can cause an abscess to heal. Hasn’t worked for me, but I know people it has worked for.

10. Relieving a dental pain with help of hot wet washcloth.
John D.

Instructions:
Apply a hot wet washcloth to the areas of pain until pain subsides… repeat as many times as needed… It will amaze you… works for extreme toothache pain.
