Wisdom Teeth Home Remedies

Clove Oil

Clove oil proves to be incredibly helpful in relieving pain caused by the wisdom teeth as and when they erupt. It has natural antiseptic and aesthetic properties.

In fact, clove oil is a rich source of eugenol, a biochemical which is an important constituent of dental materials because of such properties. Rubbing small amount of clove oil on teeth and gum should provide immediate relief from the pain and tenderness.

Onion

Normally, it would bring tears to your eyes when cut. However, it can be quite effective in preventing them if you are experiencing debilitating pain due to the wisdom teeth that are erupting in a painful manner.

All you need to do is to cut a few slices of a raw onion and place it on the cheek side of the aching tooth. Its juice provides relief from the pain, though you may not like the idea of placing it inside your mouth. As and when you feel your mouth is going dry, bite the onion hard to let out its juice, which can bring relief.

Cabbage

Cabbage is an excellent item for salad, but did you know that it is effective in keeping tooth pain at bay! You need not to munch on it for it to work, only have to place it in your mouth in a certain way.

Remove the veins and roll it using a rolling pin and press the roll against the culprit gum and tooth. The pain will subside in a flash.

Guava leaves

Guava, a popular fruit, is pretty useful when it comes to providing relief from tooth pain due to wisdom tooth. Boil its leaves in water and filter them out later on. When the mixture has turned a little warm, hold it in your mouth for around 30 seconds and spit. Repeat the process multiple times so as to remove the pain completely. However, please consult a naturalist and preferably a dentist if the pain doesn’t escape.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is essentially a magic potion that has a plethora of benefits. Besides other tremendously useful features, it is pretty effective in reducing tooth ache as well. No, you do not have to pop it in your mouth to obtain relief. Instead, you have to pour it in the ear on the side of the aching tooth.

Ask someone to do that if you are unable to pour it by yourself. It will start its action in a matter of seconds and you will obtain relief soon.
