Wisdom teeth pain relief home remedies
Warm Salt Water Rinse
This remedy has the approval of dentists who advise to use it till your appointment. It is quite a feasible and effective way to deal with wisdom tooth pain.
You will need around eight ounces of warm water. Stir in a couple of tablespoons of salt in the water till it is completely dissolved. Rinse with this water for about 12 seconds or till you can taste the salt before spitting it out. Repeating this process every few hours will provide you with pain relief.
Ice application
If you have a swelling in the wisdom tooth region, applying an ice pack can be quite helpful. Put some ice in a plastic bag and wrap it in a towel for applying it to the swollen area. The inflammation will reduce as a result of which the pain will be alleviated.
Clove Oil
This is one of the most effective remedies of relieving wisdom tooth pain. Clove oil contains Eugenol, which is a chemical that acts as an antibacterial and anesthetic agent. To use this remedy, you need to put some clove oil on a cotton swab and wipe it on the gums surrounding the tooth directly.
If you find the flavor of the clove oil to be too strong, you can mix a bit of olive oil with it. Repeating this treatment several times a day will ease your pain until your dental appointment.
Onion
Onion contains phytochemicals that can deal with germs responsible for causing infection, thereby alleviating pain. However, the problem is that for this remedy, you are required to chew raw onion.
When you feel the pain, cut off a piece of onion, chewing it on the side of your mouth. The juice penetrates the tooth owing to this, and thus, pain is relieved after a while.
