How can I relieve tooth pain at home?

Are you experiencing tooth pain in Sydney? Here are some remedies to help until you can visit Sydney Emergency Dentist. 

1. Salt Water

A simple salt water rinse can help reduce inflammation and clean the affected area. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt in warm water and swish it around your mouth for 30 seconds before spitting it out.

2. Cold Compress

Placing a cold compress on the outside of your cheek can help numb the pain and reduce swelling. Apply the compress for 15–20 minutes, repeating as needed.

3. Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers

Medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can temporarily relieve tooth pain. 

4. Clove Oil

Apply a small amount of clove oil to a cotton ball and gently dab it on the affected tooth and gums for pain relief.

5. Garlic

Garlic can help soothe tooth pain. We recommend crushing a garlic clove to create a paste and applying it to the affected area. 

6. Elevate Your Head

Keeping your head elevated while sleeping can prevent blood from rushing to the affected area, which might help reduce the intensity of the pain.

We invite you to seek professional dental care at Sydney Emergency Dentist for persistent or severe tooth pain in Sydney. You can call us on 0426 651 885.
