Just a teaspoon of dried peppermint leaves in boiling water should do the trick. As it cools, swish it around your mouth especially where the sensitive tooth is.

2. Inhaling Essential Oils Can Rid You Of Headaches

You can use a variety of essential oils like lavender, chamomile, peppermint, rosemary, to name a few.

Their soothing and relaxing effect will heal your headache caused by stress and anxiety.

11. Another Remedy For Toothache Using Cloves

Cloves have been traditionally used for generations to alleviate toothache. Researchers found cloves to be as effective as benzocaine gel, a topical gel used by dentists to reduce needle pain.They applied cloves, benzocaine gel, or a placebo to the inside of the participants’ mouths. They found out that cloves and benzocaine gel lowered levels of pain similarly, but not with placebos.

12. Using Capsaicin From Chili Peppers

Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, are used for natural pain relief. It can cause a mild burning or tingling sensation when applied topically.

Many pain-relieving products contain capsaicin.
