6 Remedies That Will Give You Instant Relief From Tooth Aches

4. Avoid extreme temperatures

Brush your teeth with warm water and keep away from extreme temperatures. Cavities can make your tooth extremely sensitive, so try and avoid things like ice cream, hot coffee and other beverages that could cause your tooth even more pain.

5. Take a cough drop

Cough drops or lozenges usually contain a small amount of anesthetic (menthol and sometimes benzocaine) which can help to relieve minor tooth pain, too. It is advisable not to chew it but keep it in your mouth for long.

6. Use Vicks vaporub

Don’t freak out! You don’t have to put it inside your mouth, but apply it on the outside of your cheek where your tooth hurts. Then place a paper towel on your pillow and lie down on one side, this trick can give you a quick and temporary relief.
