Sometimes with all the care that we give to our teeth, toothaches still happen. Most of the time we set up an appointment with our dentist to see the problem right away. This is, in fact, the perfect solution that you can have for your teeth. However, there are times when the pain just won’t go away even before your scheduled appointment with the doctor. With the entire schedule you may have to deal with before you see your dentist, it’s crazy to go through the pain before making your dental visit.
The most basic thing you can do to alleviate the pain is to get the the sensation out of your mouth. You can easily do this with ice. Just pack an ice in cloth and put it on the aching area until all the sensation is gone because of the coldness you placed on your tooth. If you can handle the ice, you can also place them inside your mouth until you freeze the pain. If you put toothpaste directly on top of the affected teeth, it could also alleviate the pain.
There are also remedies that you can do without numbing your mouth. You just have to go to your kitchen and make something for yourself to reduce the pain. A clove of garlic with a pinch of salt mixed together should do the trick. Once you have that solution, put it directly on the infected area and observe how it will lower the pain. Pepper should also do the trick. If you mix pepper with a clove oil it will make a powerful remedy for the toothache. Just apply it to the affected area and just watch the pain go away in no time at all. These can be done when the pain is imminent, and it will alleviate the pain before you know it.
There are also kitchen ingredients that you can use to prevent the toothache from coming, and it can even strengthen your teeth. If you love onions, this is an advantage to toothache prevention since onions, when chewed raw, prevents germs that could brew up pain in your teeth. A clove of garlic a day should also do the trick of preventing those toothache events from happening. If you take a daily dosage of Vitamin C, it will also strengthen your teeth. Instead of taking vitamin pills, use lime since it has a higher concentration of that vitamin, and will help prevent all the searing pain that could come unexpected.
Of course, you still have to do the usual things to prevent toothache and decay. Brushing your teeth everyday and visiting your dentist at least twice a year is still a recommended habit for everyone. Nothing beats a professional in his own field so you just have to see your dentist to make sure the pain will go away and never come back. You might be due for a tooth extraction you don’t even know it.

Great article. I’ve tried eating an onion and got IMMEDIATE relief (I have a toothache now–which is why I found your site). Only problemn is, EATING an onion raw on one day will give you the distinctive onion oodor the next day!
The best way I found to end toothache pain immediately is to soak a wad of cotton (or paper towel ) in alcohol and place it over the infected tooth. Bite GENTLY. The pain will go away in seconds!
If I do this before bedtime, I get a good night’s sleep without any pain at all!
