Toothache is a common problem, due to which many people remain troubled. The entire body can be affected by the problem of toothache. In such a situation, relief from this problem can be found by using some things present in the kitchen. These materials can be used in different ways. The special thing is that it is also beneficial for other problems including toothache, gingivitis and worm problems.
These home remedies help in providing relief from toothache and discomfort but if the cavity is severe, do not rely only on remedies. In such a situation, it is important to see a dentist immediately. Bad eating habits, eating too much sweets, not brushing on time and not taking care of oral hygiene, all these are considered to be the major causes of cavity in teeth. If care is not taken in time, tooth decay continues to progress and the pain can become unbearable.

In the initial condition, some home remedies can help in reducing pain, swelling and infection. However, if the pain is severe or the swelling increases, it is important to consult a dentist.

Clove is considered a panacea for toothache. The anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties present in it help in soothing the pain caused by cavity. Apply clove oil to a small piece of cotton and place it on the tooth with cavity. Leave it for 10 to 15 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water. Doing this remedy once or twice a day can provide considerable relief from pain.
Neem is considered a natural antiseptic in Ayurveda. Neem leaves help in reducing the harmful bacteria present in the mouth and keep the teeth clean. Boil some neem leaves in water and after it cools down, gargle with this water daily. This reduces bad breath and can prevent cavities from growing.

In such a situation, it is important to immediately consult a dentist so that there is no need for tooth extraction or major surgery in the future. Also, it is very important to brush twice a day, gargle after eating sweets and get your teeth checked from time to time.
