10 Home Remedies For Abscess Tooth
Home Remedy #10: Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical that can be used as an antiseptic, bleaching agent, and oxidizer. In alternative medicine, it is believed to be beneficial in the treatment of influenza, emphysema, and cancer. It involves the daily consumption of hydrogen peroxide orally or through an injection.
It is important to note that there is no scientific evidence that proves the effectiveness and it has even been fatal in some cases. However, in an abscessed tooth, it can be beneficial as it helps fight the bacterial infection, reduce bleeding gums, and decrease plaque. To use hydrogen peroxide for a tooth abscess, mix an equal part of water with three percent hydrogen peroxide. Swish the solution around the mouth and ensure not to swallow. It can be repeated several times a day.
