A tooth abscess is not something that anyone might want to go through. The sharp pain experienced is a result of bacteria infecting the inside of the tooth that is exposed due to it being broken or decayed. When the bacteria goes into the tooth, infection takes place that can be accompanied by pus gathering in the wound. Here are some remedies that can be used at home for quick relief.
Salt water rinse. The most simple remedy that can be prepared with products found in any home is the salt water rinse. This can bring temporary relief to the tooth and improve the chances of wound healing. Salt water is also very cleaning for the gums which can also be impacted by the tooth abscess. To create the salt water, 1/2 teaspoon of regular table salt is mixed into half a cup of water. The concoction is stirred until the salt is completely dissolved. The solution is used to rinse the mouth for at least three minutes. The liquid should be swished inside the mouth to make sure that all crevices and holes are reached. The water is then spat out. For a stable sense of relief, the rinse should be performed three times daily.
