Crush a garlic clove and place it on the affected tooth. Alternatively, rub a raw garlic clove directly on gums and teeth.
Why it works: Garlic contains allicin, a natural antibiotic that fights infection.
Ginger Paste (Anti-inflammatory Action):
Mix 2 tsp of ginger powder with 1 tsp water to form a paste. Apply it to a cotton ball and place it on the tooth, avoiding the gums.
Clove or Clove Oil (Traditional Remedy):
Chew a whole clove or apply clove powder to the tooth.
Use 1–2 drops of clove oil on a cotton swab and press gently onto the painful area.
Why it works: Cloves contain eugenol, a natural antiseptic.
Onion (Antibacterial Relief):
Place a piece of raw onion on the painful side of your mouth and chew slowly. Let the juice penetrate the tooth.
