No matter how clean you keep your teeth or how much dental work you have had done on your teeth you could experience the excruciating pain from a toothache that can happen at any time. The pain caused from your toothache could be one of the worst pains you will ever experience. That is why I have written this article, to help you stop your toothache which can be done through herbal and pharmaceutical methods.

If you are considering the herbal method to cure toothaches you need to get the herb in the form of an alcohol extract. The reason for doing so is that the alcohol will disinfect the area of infection and will also reduce inflammation. To use the extract you should put about a teaspoon of it into your mouth and wait for a minute to make sure it rinses out your mouth and then once you have finished you can either spit it out or swallow it (don’t worry it isn’t harmful). The reason the alcoholic extract works is because it numbs the nerves of the tooth that is causing the problem.

Even though the herbal method works the most common way to treating toothaches is to use pharmaceuticals such as Ambesol. With pharmaceuticals all you have to do is rub it onto the desired area (where your tooth hurts) and it will kill the pain unless the infection spread around.

If you have it at home a good way to treat toothaches is aspirin and Tylenol. This is easy to do as all you have to do is press the tablet against your tooth with your tongue and the tablet will dissolve and make its way into your nerves to stop the pain.
These methods in this article are just temporary fixes for the pain and it is highly recommended that you see a dentist because the main cause for a toothache is a cavity that needs filling and that can only be done by dental hands.
