What causes toothache? Find below all possible causes of toothache.

 

Toothache Causes

• Dental caries (tooth decay): a small cavity in the protective enamel of the tooth can lead rapidly to tooth decay. If left untreated, the tooth beneath the enamel will begin to rot, it attacks the deeper structures of the tooth, causing severe tooth pain. When the process progresses the inner core (pulp) becomes affected and infected the tooth may die. In case of dental caries toothache home remedies represent only first aid help, please organize a dental treatment! 

• Abscess: an accumulation of pus in or around the root of a tooth is known as a tooth abscess, which can be agonizingly painful and may cause swelling. Home remedies for toothache can help to burst the tooth abscess, disinfect and clean the surrounding area. Even then, a visit at the dentist is necessary to clarify the underlying cause of the abscessed tooth or gum boil.

• Gingivitis (sore gums): inflammation of the gums, when the gums become purple-red, soft, shiny and sensitive and bleed easily especially when you clean your teeth. If gingivitis is left untreated, then pockets of infected pus can develop at the base of teeth, followed eventually by gum boils and loose teeth. Cure for gingivitis is extremely important. Home remedies may give tremendous help, keeping gums healthy or healing gingivitis.

• Teething: is the process when milk teeth erupt from the gums in young children. It can be very painful, gums are swollen and red. A similar situation occurs in young adults, when wisdom teeth erupt causing wisdom tooth pain. Wisdom teeth may cause a lots of tooth pain as well.
  
• Radiation: pain radiates from a nearby structure resulting the feeling of toothache. Most important causes include sinus problems (sinus toothache) and trigeminal neuralgia which may cause really bad toothache.

Best is to clarify the situation with a specialist and tailor the treatment according to the underlying cause.

How to stop toothache?

Suggestions below are only first aid toothache helps of course.

 

Toothache Remedies

So, lets see now our valuable home remedies for toothache:

Our best old home remedy for tooth ache is CLOVE (Syzygium aromaticum)

Cloves for Toothache

1. Most simple possibility is to hold a whole clove or a few cloves in the mouth near the painful tooth and chew or suck it. Brings relief for toothache pain quickly.

2. Another kitchen option is using clove powder around the tooth or fill the tooth with the powder. You can empty a tea bag and put the clove powder in the empty tea bag and place this clove bag in the mouth.

3. My last suggestion is clove oil for toothache: essential oil of cloves is a handy toothache relief. Rub the oil on to the aching tooth and around the gum this will anaesthetize the whole area. Don't overuse it as you may burn your gums. You can also dip a piece of cotton wool into some clove oil roll into a ball and stick it into the painful part of the tooth. Clove has antiseptic and painkilling properties which work immediately after administration. Within 5 minutes you should be pain free or at least in less pain. Cloves are great toothache remedies!

 

Share my experiences from Linda Anderson (Texas): 'I once had a cavity in a jaw tooth. I had heard that witch hazel helped with toothaches, so I rinsed with witch hazel. I also applied witch hazel to the tooth with a q-tip. The tooth quit bothering me and I forgot about it. I went to a dentist a few years later. He said I had a dead jaw tooth and he pulled the tooth. I later remembered about the jaw tooth giving me problems and ask the dentist if witch hazel would cause a dead tooth. The dentist didn't know if it would. But when I applied the witch hazel it felt like it was drawing out an infection. I believe the witch hazel worked for my toothache. I can't remember how many days I used the witch hazel on the tooth, but if you have a toothache give witch hazel a try.'

 

Golden Seal for Toothache

If you can't stand the smell of onion or garlic, than you may try another toothache remedy - GOLDEN SEAL, the yellow root (Hydrastis canadensis) which is old folk medicine in the US. You can use a piece of the yellow root itself or Golden seal tincture - put it on the affected area (helps especially with tooth abscess). Leave it in your mouth as long as you can stand it.

Dentists often suggest an ICE PACK in case of oral inflammation and severe tooth pain. It helps with the swelling and keeps the infection from spreading. Put it 5 minutes on and 5 minutes off. It is better using ice cubes, than deep frozen stuff. You may combine it with other toothache remedies mentioned earlier.
