Dental pain is often caused by swelling, in which case ibuprofen is the best painkiller for toothache because of its anti-inflammatory properties.<\/p> <p>Look for these painkillers as the active ingredients in commonly used brands. Many people use Advil Liquid Gel for toothache because its active ingredient is ibuprofen, or Tylenol because its active ingredient is acetaminophen.<\/p> <p>If taking one or the other of these tooth pain remedies isn\u2019t effective, it\u2019s safe for adults to take both, alternating them up to the maximum dose shown on each packet. For adults, this is 200-400mg of ibuprofen every 6-8 hours, up to a maximum of 1200mg every 24 hours, or 325-1000mg of acetaminophen every 4-6 hours, up to a maximum of 4000mg (eight 500mg tablets) in 24 hours.<\/p> <p>However, you should only do this as a temporary measure while you await dental care.

Naproxen is sold under the brand name Aleve, among others. You can get it on prescription from your dentist or buy it over-the-counter for toothache pain relief at home. It can be taken in conjunction with acetaminophen, but not ibuprofen. Naproxen can stop tooth pain for up to 12 hours, but it\u2019s not suitable for asthmatic patients.<\/p> <div class=\"dentist-tip\"> <div class=\"dentist-tip__title\">Ask a dentist: What should you do if you have tooth pain?<\/div> <div class=\"dentist-tip__content\"> <p>When tooth pain strikes, having an action plan in place can save you from lots of anxiety. The first thing you should do is call the dentist and schedule an appointment to be seen. If your tooth is showing signs of pain, it could signal that there is tooth decay inside the tooth.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/08\/woman-with-jaw-pain.jpg\" alt=\"woman needing tooth pain relief\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Discover the best painkillers and toothache home remedies<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div> <p>However, cavities are not the only causes of toothaches, so the remedy for your dental pain might be quite simple. While you are waiting to be seen by your dentist, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your teeth, as this will be gentler on the area that is sensitive. You should use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/oral-hygiene\/best-toothpaste\/best-sensitive-toothpaste\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">toothpaste specifically made for sensitivity<\/a> as well.<\/p> <p>It may seem obvious, but don\u2019t chew on hard foods where you have a toothache. If tooth decay is causing your pain, this could cause the tooth to chip, crack, or break. In fact, if you have sharp pain while chewing or biting, it could be a sign that you already have a cracked tooth (or a cavity).<\/p> <p><strong>Dr. Angela Evanson, Angela Evanson DDS<\/strong><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home remedies for severe toothache pain relief<\/h3> <p>Over-the-counter painkillers may not be enough in certain cases, for example, to stop pain resulting from a broken tooth \u2013 especially if the tooth nerve is exposed. Similarly, tooth abscess pain can be too intense for regular painkillers to have much effect. Also, there isn\u2019t a tooth abscess home remedy, as this condition will need to be ultimately treated by a dentist.

Do your research so you know how much to use and at what dilution.<\/p> <p>There are certain cases when clove oil should not be used to stop a toothache:<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Infants or toddlers experiencing teething pain<\/li> <li>Pregnant or nursing mothers<\/li> <li>Anyone with a bleeding disorder, since clove oil can slow down blood clotting<\/li> <\/ul> <p><strong>-Renad S. Nahhas, Pharmacist<\/strong><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <p>If you don\u2019t have clove oil on hand, you can also use whole or <strong>ground cloves for toothache<\/strong>. Grind them (or use clove powder) and mix with oil to form a paste, then apply this to your mouth. It\u2019s not as effective as using clove oil, but it should still help with toothache relief. Keep in mind that if you use clove oil for toothache, side effects may occur such as sensitivity and irritation of the gums.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heat or cold?<\/h3> <p>If you\u2019re wondering whether to apply something hot or cold for a toothache, the general consensus is that ice for toothache can help, as it reduces swelling and can slightly numb the pain, but heat should never be used, as it may cause the affected area to become more inflamed.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saltwater<\/h3> <p>This easy toothache home remedy helps <strong>kill bacteria and reduce swelling<\/strong> in your mouth.<\/p> <p>To use salt water for toothache, add a teaspoon of salt to a small glass of warm water and stir until dissolved.

Brew with tea leaves or a tea bag and leave it to steep for 10-15 minutes before sipping and swishing it around in your mouth.<\/p> <p>You can even use a regular black tea bag as a compress to ease toothache. Soak it in warm water then place it against the sore tooth for a few minutes. The astringent tannins in the tea might prove to be a short-term toothache remedy.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Garlic<\/h3> <p>Some people find garlic to be an effective home remedy for toothache, however, it has been known to cause skin burns \u2013 so try it at your own risk! To use garlic for tooth pain, you can mash a garlic clove into a paste and apply it to the painful tooth for 10-15 minutes.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coconut oil<\/h3> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3eE5Rak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow nofollow\">Coconut oil<\/a> has antimicrobial properties, so it can naturally help fight tooth decay. Although it is not the most well-known option, it is safe in case of accidental swallowing, as coconut oil is used in cooking in many cultures around the world.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baking soda<\/h3> <p>Baking soda neutralizes acidic solutions, and since bacteria thrive in acidic environments, it can help eliminate bacteria and reduce swelling around a toothache. To use, combine a small amount of toothpaste or warm water and baking soda and gently rub the paste directly on the affected tooth. This natural pain relief for toothache is, like the others, most likely not a home cure for toothache, but a way to temporarily stop the pain.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apple cider vinegar toothache remedy<\/h3> <p>Apple cider vinegar is said to provide quick relief as a home remedy for bad toothaches as well.

Tea tree oil for toothache should only be given to adults as it can be poisonous if swallowed.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peppermint oil<\/h3> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-77899\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/artizen-peppermint-oil-259x300.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/artizen-peppermint-oil-259x300.png 259w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/artizen-peppermint-oil-885x1024.png 885w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/artizen-peppermint-oil-768x889.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/artizen-peppermint-oil.png 902w\" alt=\"Peppermint Oil Toothache Relief\" width=\"259\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The ages old peppermint dental cure<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div> <p>Another popular home remedy is to use <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2TUmm8p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow nofollow\">peppermint oil<\/a> for toothache. It has antimicrobial properties and will help to numb toothache pain.<\/p> <p>Wondering how to use peppermint oil for toothache? Just apply three to four drops of the essential oil on the afflicted area.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oregano oil<\/h3> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/38iJuWS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow nofollow\">Oregano oil<\/a> is a less common toothache home remedy that works very much like peppermint oil, as it also has numbing and antimicrobial properties.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vanilla extract<\/h3> <p>We thought it worth mentioning <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/32kqcwd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow nofollow\">vanilla extract<\/a> for toothaches in this section, because, while not actually an essential oil, it has analgesic and antiseptic properties and is another popular toothache home remedy. One of those properties is eugenol, which is also what makes clove oil so effective. Vanilla extract will only provide temporary toothache pain relief, so it\u2019s still important to seek professional help if pain persists.<\/p> <p>Use caution when using any of these oils, as these toothache remedies don\u2019t have as much researched-based evidence to prove that they will help with mouth pain as clove oil does.<\/p> <h2 id=\"home-remedies-for-toothache-and-tooth-pain-summary\" \"home-remedies-for-toothache-and-tooth-pain-summary\"class =\"wp-block-heading\">Home remedies for toothache and tooth pain: Summary<\/h2> <p>The table below summarizes the most popular toothache pain relievers that we have mentioned, which you can use to treat tooth pain at home:<\/p> <div class=\"wptb-table-container wptb-table-43559\"> <div id=\"wptb-table-id-43559\" class=\"wptb-table-container-matrix\" data-wptb-version=\"2.0.2\" data-wptb-pro-status=\"true\"> <table class=\"wptb-preview-table wptb-element-main-table_setting-43559\" style=\"border: 1px solid #d1d1d1;\" role=\"table\" data-reconstraction=\"1\" data-wptb-table-tds-sum-max-width=\"394\" data-wptb-cells-width-auto-count=\"3\" data-wptb-table-directives=\"eyJpbm5lckJvcmRlcnMiOnsiYWN0aXZlIjoiYWxsIiwiYm9yZGVyV2lkdGgiOiIxIiwiYm9yZGVyUmFkaXVzZXMiOnsiYWxsIjpmYWxzZX19fQ==\" data-wptb-extra-styles=\"LyogRW50ZXIgeW91ciBjdXN0b20gQ1NTIHJ1bGVzIGhlcmUgKi8=\" data-table-columns=\"3\"> <tbody> <tr class=\"wptb-row\"> <td class=\"wptb-cell\" style=\"border: 1px solid #d1d1d1;\" data-y-index=\"0\" data-x-index=\"0\" data-wptb-css-td-auto-width=\"true\"> <div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-31\" style=\"color: #4a5568;

Dental pain can be a sign of a number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/oral-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">oral health problems<\/a> including:<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/tooth-decay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tooth decay<\/a><\/li> <li>An infection or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/tooth-abscess-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tooth abscess<\/a><\/li> <li>A cracked or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/chipped-tooth-repair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chipped tooth<\/a><\/li> <li>A broken or loose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/tooth-filling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">filling<\/a><\/li> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/teeth-grinding-bruxism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruxism<\/a> (teeth grinding)<\/li> <li>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wisdom-teeth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">impacted wisdom tooth<\/a><\/li> <\/ul> <p>In all of these cases, ignoring the problem is likely to make it worse in the long run. Even if you manage to stop your toothache with one of these home remedies for tooth pain, that doesn\u2019t mean the underlying cause is fixed. Tooth decay, for example, can destroy the tooth nerve to the point you no longer feel pain. But the decay will keep spreading through the tooth root and may cause an abscess (which is even more painful), and there are no home remedies for tooth infection, because you\u2019ll need to be prescribed antibiotics.<\/p> <p>Additionally, if your pain is caused by the tooth nerve, there are really no permanent home remedies for tooth nerve pain. The things listed above can serve as temporary tooth nerve pain remedies, but you will most likely need to make an appointment for a filling or root canal.<\/p> <p>It\u2019s simple to find a dentist near you, available any time of day or night, by calling <a class=\"global-phone-link\" href=\"tel:+18663830748\">866-383-0748<\/a>. Alternatively, if you\u2019d rather start by consulting with a dentist online, find out more about teledentistry, so you can assess the urgency of your problem without leaving home.<\/p> <p>It\u2019s better to seek treatment right away and avoid further damage which could require more drastic treatment like tooth extraction. You should also see a dentist if your dental pain lasts more than two days, or if you have a high temperature or any swelling.<\/p> <h2 id=\"conclusion\" \"conclusion\"class =\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2> <p>When you are wondering what to do for a toothache at home, you should be able to get some relief from products you already have around the house. Painkillers, cloves and salt water can all help ease toothache pain, and you can also buy special toothache gels and ointments.<\/p> <p>Ultimately, though, these <strong>home remedies for toothache should only be used temporarily<\/strong>. The best way to stop a toothache is usually to visit a dentist to treat the underlying cause. If you can\u2019t get to a dentist, you may also want to make an online dentist appointment.

This will help relieve pain because there will be less blood pressure in your head. You can also use an over the counter pain medicine like Ibuprofen or Tylenol, or a topical gel like <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2TYH2w5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow nofollow\">this red cross toothache medicine<\/a>.

Both help to reduce toothache pain.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the best over-the-counter medicine for toothache?<\/h3> <p>You can use ibuprofen for a toothache.
