Toothache and home remedies
Toothache does not only refer to the pain in the area of the teeth, but it also refers to the pain which is felt in the gums or jaws. It can vary in severity and intensity, but it usually has the tendency to aggravate when a person eats or drinks something hot or cold. As for the possible causes, they are various and include even gum diseases and dental cavities. The pain of this kind is definitely a sign that the person should visit the dentist because something is definitely wrong, and this is something that should not be postponed, because the problem and pain could only become worse. Still, people, or at least the greatest majority of them, tend to take some pain reliever, hoping that the pain will stop and that it will not appear again. In some cases, this might really happen, but even if it does, the visit to the dentist should not be canceled.

As for the ingredients, in every home there is probably at least garlic, which can also relieve the pain in a very short time. If not, it is probably possible to find some ice packs and put them on the cheek.
