1. Brush your teeth daily with a mixture of clay powder and salt.
2. To strengthen your teeth, rub the roots daily with lemon tree bark.
3. Chew guava leaves and let the juice sit in your mouth.
4. Garlic is an excellent ally against toothache. It releases a chemical substance called allicin, which has antibiotic properties that reduce infection. Apply crushed garlic cloves to the affected tooth to ease the pain. Alternatively, simply rub a garlic clove on your gums and teeth.
5. Ginger has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties that help relieve toothache. To use it, mix 2 teaspoons of ginger powder with 1 teaspoon of water until you get a thick paste. Place this paste on a cotton ball and apply it to the painful tooth, avoiding contact with the gums.
6. Clove has been used for years to treat toothache due to its content of eugenol, a natural antiseptic. Apply a small amount of powdered clove to the tooth, or chew a whole clove to release its oil. You can also use a small amount of clove oil (about two drops) and apply it to the affected area until the pain subsides.
7. Onion contains phytonutrients that target the germs responsible for oral infections and help relieve pain. Cut a piece of onion and chew it on the painful side of your mouth to let the onion juice penetrate the tooth.
