What are some good homemade remedies for toothache pain?
There are so many natural, homemade remedies for toothache pain. First, there is clove. Cloves are brilliant. I remember having awful toothaches while growing my wisdom teeth and cloves were my go-to fix. According to top10homeremedies, No home remedy for toothache can be better than clove. Clove has got anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial antioxidant and anesthetic properties that help in alleviating toothache to a great extent. At the first sign of toothache, dab some clove oil with the help of a cotton ball directly on the infected tooth to get some relief. You can even mix a few drops of clove oil in half a glass of water and use this solution to rinse your mouth. Else you can even grind some whole cloves and mix them with a few drops of cooking oil before applying it on the infected tooth. 
If you have an infection in your gums or tooth, consider using onions. Onion has got antiseptic and antimicrobial properties due to which it can be used to control toothache to a huge extent. At the first sign of toothache, take one raw onion and start chewing it for a few minutes to get relief from the pain. If you are not able to chew it, place a piece of raw onion directly on the bad tooth or gum. This will help in killing the germs inside the mouth causing infection. 
Another good option to keep in mind is pepper and water: Salt mixed with pepper is also a great way to handle toothache at home. This remedy can be of great use when a tooth becomes extremely sensitive. Take pepper and common salt in equal amounts and mix them with a few drops of water to form a paste. Apply this paste directly on the affected tooth and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Repeat this process daily for several days to get relief from pain as well as dental cavities.
Finally, warm water with some salt can always do the trick. One effective way to treat toothache is to use warm salt water. Mix half a spoon of common salt to a glass of very warm water and use this solution as a mouthwash to rinse your mouth thoroughly. When this solution touches the infected tooth it will extract fluid from the tissue and reduce the swelling on the nerves. This mouthwash will also take care of the bacteria that cause infection. 
This one is really cool: Take one small ice cube and put it in a plastic bag and then wrap it in a thin cotton cloth. Now apply this cloth on the cheek over the aching tooth for about a few minutes to numb the nerves. When ice is placed directly on an affected tooth it can also ease the pain. You can also rub an ice cube in the area between the index finger and the thumb for a few minutes. It is a kind of acupressure technique that can ease toothache.
Again, remember, these are temporary remedies. Nothing will beat going to the dentist and taking care of the cavities.
