The ache of the tooth that you are feeling in your mouth is more commonly called a toothache. The medical terminology is odontalgia or odontalgy. Most of the time the source for this aching tooth is due to problems that have to do with the tooth or the jaw.

To figure out what the appropriate home remedy should be is to identify what the cause is. We must figure out and detect and determine the problem. The symptoms can be a cavity, gum disease, wisdom teeth coming in, maybe a crack in a tooth, disease of the jaw or possibly the root has become exposed.

But make sure you make an appointment to visit the dentist the next day. These methods will help you get through the night. These should provide you temporary toothache relief by numbing the pain.

• Cold water – If you will hold some ice cold water on the side of your mouth that is having the pain has been reported to help reduce the pain.
• Cold and Ice – Swelling could be what is causing the pain and cold seems to help that. If you are suffering from an infection, putting cold treatments on the affected area should reduce the swelling and the discomfort. Some tooth aches that are not caused by an infection can worsen using cold. In this case use a moist heat treatment (hot water bottle, etc) and place on the affected side of your face.
• Finger massage – Using your finger to rub and massage the aching spot can often work. You can also add some tea tree oil topically on the sore tooth or gum and massage that in with your finger.
• Ice massage – This technique sometimes works by numbing the nerve endings, but at the same time I have seen this technique make things worse so stop immediately if this happens. What you want to do is perform an ice massage to the affected area.
• Ice packs – Using an ice pack or maybe even a frozen bag of pea’s from the freezer can work. Place the pack or cold substance on your cheek to give you temporary relief.
• Ice inside you mouth – What you want to do is to try to hold a piece of ice on the side of the mouth that hurts. You can chew on it or even suck on the ice, but keep it in the area of the tooth ache. You an repeat this as often as necessary. You can use cold or ice cold water, this seems to work also.
• Yarrow (achillea millefolium) – a very good anesthetic is the yarrow root. Take the fresh root or the leaves and place on the gums or tooth to help relieve the tooth pain.
• Acupressure – this has only a short term effect. There has been evidence that pressing/rubbing on the sides of either index finger and this is opposite the base of the finger nail.
• Laying on of hands – ask a friend to put their hand on the painful spot and with the intention of a healing intention. This can work for a certain amount of time, but may allow you to get some sleep.
