    a. Ice massage the hand:
    Gently rubbing an ice cube in the area between the forefinger and the thumb for several minutes is an effective toothache remedy, as it eases toothache. It acts by overwhelming the pain impulses that usually travel along the nerve pathways. It has a 60 to 90% success rate. Ice placed directly on a throbbing tooth also helps ease the pain.

    b. Garlic:
    Placing a clove of garlic with little rock salt on the affected tooth helps relieve or even cure the pain.

    c. Onion:
    Toothache pain is often allayed by placing a small piece of onion on the bad tooth or gum, since onion has antibacterial properties that kill the germs in the mouth.

    d. Lime:
    This rich source of vitamin C prevents tooth decay and also provides toothache pain relief.

    e. Wheat grass:
    The juice of wheat grass is an excellent mouthwash for tooth decay and a natural toothache remedy. It also draws out the toxins from the gums and checks bacterial growth.

    f. Asafoetida:
    This bitter, foul-smelling resinous material obtained from the roots of several plants of the parsley family, helps in instant toothache relief.

    g. Bay berry:
    This is an effective toothache natural cure. Applying a paste made from bay berry bark mixed with vinegar helps relieve the toothache.

    h. Oil of clove:
    Clove oil, put directly onto the affected tooth or dabbed with a cotton ball on the decayed tooth, relieves toothache.

    i. Pepper:
    A pinch of pepper powder mixed with common salt is an excellent cure. It’s especially effective against the increased sensitiveness of the teeth.

    j. Oil of oregano:
    This is an effective remedy for toothache, because it displays antimicrobial activity against food-borne pathogens that cause tooth decay.

    k. Salt:
    A salt water mouthwash gets rid of tooth infection and helps cure toothache. Thorough rinsing of the mouth with salt water is important.

    l. Liquor:
    Good news for those who love their drinks! By squeezing a wad of cotton wool soaked in brandy against the affected tooth helps numb the pain. You can also make the gum numb by taking a swig of whiskey and holding it over the painful tooth.

    Oil of cloves will relieve the pain of an inflamed pulp (nerve).
    It is not a permanent cure so you will need to get to a dentist ASAP.
    go to the dentist !! Don't mess around with your teeth! If an abscess sets in , it can even go into your system.That's called sepsis . Borrow the money , if you have to .
    Hot water bottle, wrapped in towel or some thing,its great, especially if you can sleep for while. Short term relief, see your Dentist.
