10 Home Remedies for Toothaches
Toothache Home Remedy #9: Ice
Ice is a common pain remedy that is used topically especially on swollen or inflamed skin. Similarly, it can relieve toothaches. Ice works by numbing the nerves and reducing the heat produced by the inflammation.
To use ice as a home remedy for toothaches, place a few pieces of ice into a small polythene bag and wrap it in a piece of thin cloth. Hold it under a tap of slow running water to soak the cloth. Place on the aching area and hold it there for about 10 minutes. You can also achieve similar results by holding the wrapped icepack on the outside against the aching tooth area.
