10 Home Remedies for Toothaches
Toothache Home Remedy #7: Turmeric
Turmeric is a versatile tuber spice that has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It also contains analgesic, antiseptic and antibacterial ingredients. Probably because of these medicinal properties, turmeric has been used for toothache and other dental problems for hundreds of years.
To use turmeric to treat toothaches, start by mixing one teaspoon of turmeric powder with some water to make a paste. Put some of the paste into a ball of cotton and place it against the affected tooth. Leave it on for five minutes or until the pain subsides. Discard and rinse with water. Alternatively, grate a piece of fresh turmeric and apply to the affected area. Leave it on for a few minutes or until pain subsides.
