A fresh garlic clove contains Allicin, a substance that garlic releases once it is crushed. Interestingly, Allicin has the property of reducing pain. But it is important to remember than when using fresh garlic cloves as a home remedy for toothache, the garlic is not left on the tissue of the gums for too long as this may cause burning.
To kill the infection of the tooth and the sored area, many toothache sufferers employ the use of hydrogen peroxide in rinsing their mouth. Th same principle applies, allow the hydrogen peroxide solution sink into the tooth before you spit it out.

Vanilla extracts also work wonders as a home remedy for toothache. But, a source says that almond extracts works better for it contains 2% more alcohol against the 35% alcohol content of the vanilla extract. This works by dipping a ball of cotton in the extract soon afterward placing it on top of the affected tooth.

On the other hand, many toothache sufferers use clove oil as a form of home remedy for toothache devised specifically to reduce the pain. It is important to note that in using oil and other herbal extracts, the affected area is first cleanse before a cotton ball soaked in the solution is packed into the tooth.
Meanwhile for the simplest home remedy for acne, many instinctively place ice bags nearest the area of pain. This obviously has no therapeutic effects but this numbs the affected muscle, and in some cases the gums, against aching. Also, this home remedy for acne may not taste good for most but may work for you too. Place a boiled teabag on the aching tooth for several minutes and an improvement on the toothache will be felt after the process.

Please be reminded that all these home remedies may only provide temporary treatment for toothache. Once the pain subsides, it is best to consult your tooth to the dentist to be given proper dental assistance.

Oh dear.

I've heard Oil of Cloves is supposed to help with toothaches, but I don't know if that's a good idea with a baby on the way. Schedule a visit to the dentist ASAP: He should be better able to make recommendations and to fix the problem tooth.

Good luck!

Please first see or call your gyno. There ARE pain meds that are safe during pregnancy, just nothing with aspirin or its derivatives since you are almost due. You need to make your docter aware and then see a dentist. If you have infection(which is what causes the pain) that could be detrimental to the baby and should be taken care of. ASK YOUR DOCTER!!!

This tends to happen when we are pregnant. There is not much you can to just make sure you have brushed and rinse well. If it gets to bad see a dentist some times they can figure out what to do for you until you have the baby and can have your tooth worked on.
