Cold compress: When I told you the remedies would be more than affordable, I meant it. We'll start with a cold compress. A cold compress is effective for any kind of pain you are experiencing. Use an ice pack or put ice in a bag and wrap it with a thin cloth. Place this on the aching tooth for 15 minutes to numb the nerves. You can also try applying it to your cheek over the tooth in pain. Your brain will receive the cold signals from your finger nerves, and those will be stronger than pain signals. The cold compress also reduces inflammation and swelling. Peppermint tea: If you don't like the cold, how about brewing some tea instead? Peppermint tea smells great and has some numbing properties. Add 1 tsp of dry peppermint leaves to a cup of boiling water and let it brew for 20 minutes. Then use the mixture to rinse your mouth. Tea bags will also do in case you don't have any dried tea leaves. Just brew one as you normally would, let it cool, and apply it to the throbbing area. Note that this pain reliever is totally safe but only has a very temporary effect. If you want it to last, you'll have to repeat the process once the pain comes back...
