Honey and turmeric: Honey has been used for centuries to treat toothache. It works by reducing swelling and killing germs in the mouth. Turmeric has similar properties to honey. Mix one teaspoon of turmeric powder with one teaspoon of honey, then apply it directly onto your gumline at the affected tooth’s location. Hold it in place with a small piece of cotton wool or gauze while you gently massage the area for five minutes. Repeat this twice daily until your toothache subsides.

Clove oil: Clove oil is another effective home remedy for toothache that works by killing germs in your mouth and numbing the area so you don’t feel as much pain when chewing or biting down on something hard. You can apply clove oil directly onto your gumline at the affected tooth’s location or mix it with coconut oil before applying it to your gumline as described above (one teaspoon of clove oil mixed with one teaspoon of coconut oil).

Salt water gargle: Gargling salt water helps relieve pain and swelling in the gums around a toothache as it kills bacteria and reduces inflammation. Add two tablespoons of salt in a cup of warm water and gargle this mixture for 15 minutes twice daily until the pain is gone.

Honey and cinnamon paste: Honey has antibacterial properties that help fight infection while cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce swelling around the affected area. Mix one teaspoon honey with half a teaspoon cinnamon powder, apply this paste on the affected area and leave it overnight before rinsing it off with lukewarm water in the morning.
