MOST POPULAR HOME DENTAL REMEDIES Part 1

I often get asked about natural dental remedies so decided to share this very popular topic.  I'm going to start with dry sockets.  A dry socket occurs when the blood clot safeguarding the gap created by a missing/removed tooth is dislodged from its place.  When this happens, the gap opens up to expose the nerves and bones beneath the gums.  This would cause food particles, fluids and other residues to collect in the gap and irritate the exposed bones and nerves, causing immense pain, swelling, dizziness, recurrent headaches and even fever.  The top three most effective remedies to treat this painful condition follow:


  1. Placing ice packs on the face above the dry socket can reduce the pain.  Placing the ice pack or cold towel on the face for about 15 minutes three times a day can provide relief.
  2. Rinsing the mouth with lukewarm saline water solution four to five times a day can provide relief from a dry socket and its symptoms.  The warmth of the saline solution reduces the pain and swelling, while the salt content would destroy any bacteria or virus present.
  3. Applying some clove oil on the dry socket can reduce the pain and swelling caused by the condition.  Clove oil can sting a bit, so it is best to dilute it beforehand.   Accordingly, you can soak a wad of cotton in water and then squeeze it to remove the water.  Dab some clove oil on the soaked cotton and place it on the dry socket for instant relief.  You can also place the cotton wad on the neighboring teeth if they hurt.  Follow this remedy two times every day to get relief from the symptoms of a dry socket.

In my next blog I will discuss toothache remedies to help you until you can get to your dentist.
