8. Use Pure Vanilla Extract
Vanilla extracts are rich in antioxidants that can manage inflammation around the gums and teeth. Vanilla also contains some alcohol from its production process that serves as a numbing agent. Apply it on a cotton ball and place it on the affected tooth. Keep in mind using too much of it can irritate the gums and teeth. But you can apply the vanilla extract remedy up to three times a day. Be sure to use only pure vanilla extract rather than imitations for the best results.
9. Peppermint Tea Bags
Peppermint contains menthol, an active compound that serves as a numbing agent. It also has antimicrobial ingredients that can eliminate bacteria causing toothaches. You can add a teaspoon of dried peppermint to warm water and wait for 20 minutes. Swish the peppermint drink and spit it out. Alternatively, you can dip a peppermint tea bag in warm water. Place the tea bag on the affected tooth for 20 minutes.
