There is never a convenient time to have a toothache,\nespecially during the COVID-19 pandemic. With so many people quarantining, a grocery\nstore trip for over-the-counter medicine may be the last thing you want to do.\nIf you have severe, long-lasting dental pain you should schedule an emergency\ndental appointment immediately. However, here are 5 at-home remedies you can\nturn to in the short-term to help get you out of pain while you\u2019re waiting for\nyour emergency dental\nappointment<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1.) Rinse with Salt Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Salt water can help to ease the pain of a toothache while\nclearing debris from your mouth. Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a cup of\nboiling water and, after it has cooled, swish the mixture around in your mouth\nfor 30-45 seconds. This will help to cleanse your mouth and can potentially\nrelieve swelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.) Use Tea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both peppermint and black teas have numbing and\nswelling-reducing properties. After making a cup of tea and allowing the teabag\nto steep for some time, simply place the teabag against the affected area in\nyour mouth for temporary pain relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.) Make a Hydrogen Peroxide Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Swishing with a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution can be a good\nform of temporary pain relief, especially if the pain in your mouth is\naccompanied by a fever or other signs of infection. It should be noted that this\nmeasure is only for swishing and should not be swallowed. Rinse your mouth out\nwith water after using the hydrogen peroxide solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.) Ice the Affected Area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cold can have numbing properties. Place an ice cube in a\nplastic bag or wrap it in a washcloth and hold it against the painful area in\nyour mouth. It can also be effective when placed against the outside of your\ncheek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.) Use a Toothpaste Designed for Sensitive Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some oral pain is caused by the roots of your teeth becoming\nexposed. Using a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth can help to dull the\npain that is associated from shrinking gums and exposed tooth roots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At-home remedies should never be viewed as replacements for\nbeing seen by a dental professional. If you are experiencing any sort of\nprolonged, severe tooth pain, you should schedule an emergency appointment with\nyour dentist immediately. Using these tips and techniques will help you to\nreduce your pain until your emergency dentist can give you a more permanent\nsolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
