Relieve a Toothache & Bleeding Gums
|
Relieve a minor toothache Steps
- Press a dampened tea bag against the cavity or sore gums and bite down gently.
- Rinse the mouth 3x a day with warm salt water.
- See the dentist as soon as possible.
- A hot water bottle under your pillowcase.
Tips
- Tea numbs an aching tooth, sores and bleeding gums.
- Chewing clove can also numb tooth pain.
- Try placing some ice cubes wrapped in a few paper towels against bleeding gums. This will cool and numb them, making you less able to feel them.
Warnings
- Tea numbs the spot and clots blood. Of course, see a dentist as soon as you can because the problem could be serious.
- Again... This remedy does not replace a dentist's attention. It is only for temporary pain relief.
