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 infection, decay, or the loss of a tooth, can also cause dental pain.

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.

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:
- Oil of oregano – apply directly to tooth or gum, tastes bad and burns a little but has natural anti-biotic properties.
- Colgate Peroxyl mouth rinse – for mouth lesions, contains mostly peroxide.
- 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.
- 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.

SO FAR, IT’S WORKING REALLY REALLY WELL. thank you so much, guys. will have this extracted first thing. again thank you
This one has worker for me and so has the wet tea brags only green tea though but one that is interesting and actually works is place a solve spoon or fork next to ur bed and put a bar of soap under neath ur sheets by your feet no lie for some strange reason this helps your teeth deal with extreme pain and also helps leg cramps to I u have a problem with that.Thank you very much and plz try this at night trust me it won’t hurt u so wut do u have to loose. Sincerly your local and trusted vegan.
Ummm…a solve fork and spoon with a bar of soap? I think it’s a placebo.
The vanilla works really well. I have not taken any pain medication for a few days now, thanks to this remedy.
Thanks!
I used the warm was cloth on my side of my mouth and the pain went away for a couple hours and it was soothing too and kept me warm cuz of the winter weather
I have had an abscess for a while heated up a needle slid it up the side of my tooth untill the blood and puss came out, hurt like hell for a day but it fine now !
Omg please tell me if anything works for you,I have literally no money and barely anything in my cabinets,and I don’t have fancy spices that I’d like to have…not even vanilla…
I have garlic powder? Do you think that would work instead of a clove? I tried the warm salt water rinse and it made my teeth feel like they were expanding and about to crack I could feel them expand..and then start to throb,I have a few different kinds of teas I was willing to try…but Idk which might work best,I have liptons original..I have nana tea,cider apple cinnamon,lemon,chamomile and honey,cinnamon,and egyptian chamomile…I also ovb. have ice,and peroxides,but my problem is that I have old fillings that need to get done,and I need a root canal done but I have no money so I have to get that extracted,and its right next to a wisdom tooth,in the very back of my mouth on the righthand side,the wisdom tooth has the worst pain though,it looks kinda greyish (I’m assuming its dead or is dying) and it has a white ring around it at the gum (I’m on antidepressents so the dentist said the natural acids in my saliva in my mouth changed causing it to eat away at my tooth causing it to demineralize it since it has an infection under the tooth/gums by the nerve and the cavity is in the same spot,and it causes an earache,so I have to get them both extracted please please please lemme know if you hear anything that works..I also tried taking 3 advils,and I’m trying to save my 5-500 sooooo pleaseee lemme know..I’m in desperate need to.
My mom has been suffering from BEYOND excruciating Dry Socket and has had to take some of the strongest prescription pain killers and Ibuprofen, but she has still been in a lot of pain. We ended up trying several things, some of which are mentioned in the article. It seems that the pure vanilla extract works very well in particular. I just wanted to mention, though, please do NOT apply oil of oregano or clove oil to the tooth without diluting them in olive oil first. I know clove oil is a neurotoxin and she had a bad reaction the other night after applying copious amounts of pure, undiluted clove oil to the area. She has just tried a piece of freshly crushed garlic clove and that seems to be dulling the pain. Applying Vaporub externally on the cheek right over the hurting area also helped. Drinking strong organic peppermint tea has helped. We will be trying fresh ginger root, peppermint oil on the cheek, and maybe an MSM paste on the cheek. We bought Curcumin, MSM, and peppermint gels for internal use because they are pain relieving, but she will hold off taking them as she is on large doses of Ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is so dangerous (with the huge stroke and liver risks), I wish we had known about the more safe and natural alternatives for pain relief before she got on the Ibuprofen (it’s a vicious cycle once you’re on it). For instance, the MSM and the curcumin have few, in any, side effects and relieve pain just as well as Ibuprofen when taken at the right dosages. Anyway, hoped this helped.

The Wet Teabag
I honestly love you. I was woken up several times during the night with severe pain, I couldn’t take it anymore. I had been taking strong paracetamol but it just wouldn’t work. I thought I had nothing to lose when I google’d for home cures for dental pain, and found the teabag one. I wet a teabag under a tap for a few seconds and gently bit down on it using the sore tooth. The pain started to heal literally instantly, and after 3-4 minutes I rinsed my mouth and the pain dramatically decreased. I’m now waiting for a dentist appointment with very little pain and a fantastic technique to counter the pain if it comes back.
Does anyone know how this works? Something in the teabag?
I had a tooth break off this morning.I was in pain.I went to the E.r. and they gave me these cotton balls that were soaked in lidocaine,mylanta and liquid benedryl. IT WORKS…you just put these cotton balls on your bad tooth and it numbs it and takes away the throbbing pain away.The lidocaine is the same thing in oragel. Just make sure you soak the cotton balls.Hope this helps.I know it did me!
