Cavities often cause tooth pain, and you get cavities from bacteria in the mouth that are thriving on sugary and starchy foods that cling to teeth and gums.

The bacteria produce acids that damage your teeth, and when the damage reaches a nerve, misery sets in.

Toothaches range from throbbing to excruciating. Anyone who has ever had the misfortune of a toothache knows that it is not just your mouth that hurts.

A toothache can be felt in just about every part of your body. Its at the top of the list for not-a-fun-time, but there are some natural remedies you can use to relieve the pain before you make it to the dentist.

1. Warm water and salt for the pain

Add 1 tablespoon of salt to 1 glass of warm water. Use the mixture as mouth wash to reduce the swelling and pain.

2. Treating tooth infection with oil pulling

Swish two tablespoons of oil for 15 minutes in your mouth. The oil pulling will destroy the harmful bacteria and reduce the chances of tooth infection, yellow teeth and bad breath.

3. Salt and pepper for toothache

You can reduce the pain with salt and pepper because these two ingredients have excellent anti-bacterial characteristics. Make homemade toothpaste with little water, and equal amounts of salt and pepper. Apply the paste on the tooth that hurts and leave the mixture for several minutes on it.

4. Garlic for the pain

Mix table salt with a garlic powder or garlic clove. Apply the remedy on the tooth. Repeat the treatment for several days. It is even more effective to chew garlic cloves if you can.

5. Cloves for toothache

Mix olive oil or any other vegetable oil with 2 smashed cloves. Apply the remedy on the tooth. You can also make a mouth wash with a glass of water and a few drops of clove oil.

6. Ginger as a pain reliever

Gargle your mouth with ginger soaked in water.

7. Ice cubes

Crush ice cubes and put them on the cheeks or jaw. You can also put crushed ice cubes in the mouth. Gargling with cold water for several minutes can also help you relieve toothaches.

Although in most cases only a doctor can cure the source of the problem, this list of treatments & pain relief remedies should get you through until you can visit the dentist.
