The following are some of the teas that you may brew and consume if popping a painkiller in your mouth is something that you don’t like or your trusted dentist is out of reach as of the moment:

Green Tea

If you’re a health-conscious individual, it’s not unlikely for you to have some green tea bags somewhere in your kitchen or pantry. Right away, brew a cup of it and wait until it’s already at room temperature.

Green tea contains tannins that can temporarily ease pain. Each time you take a sip, make sure that you allow the healthy beverage to come into contact with your aching tooth.

Black Tea

Just in case you’re like a lot of people who experience diarrhea after taking green tea, worry not.

That’s because green tea is not the only one that’s packed with pain-easing tannins, but also black tea. In fact, you may place a moist black tea bag in your mouth and then gently bite on it with the affected tooth for immediate relief.

Clove Tea

For hundreds of years now, traditional healers recommend chewing a couple of clove buds for easing a toothache. Well, instead of munching on some clove buds you may also let them steep in a cup of hot water.

According to scientists, there is a compound in clove called eugenol. It’s something that can help you deal with an achy chomper because it possesses anesthetic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Neem Tea

If there’s an Asian grocer near you, get your hands on some neem tea bags.

Ayurvedic healers highly recommend the intake of neem tea for the management of a toothache. In fact, the herbal tea is also recommended for dealing with so many other issues concerning the mouth, from tooth decay to gingivitis.

Licorice Root Tea

Have you already come across online articles stating that licorice root tea is great for making bad breath go away? Even if your breath smells fine, you may brew yourself a cup of it if you have a toothache.

It works effectively because it boasts of both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Got canker sores? Feel free to have a cup of licorice root tea to make them go away at a much faster rate.

Sage Tea

A popular culinary herb, a few dried sage tea leaves may be steeped in a cup of boiling water.

Once already at room temperature, you may start consuming it slowly to put an end to that toothache. You may also transfer it to a clean plastic bottle and use as a mouthwash.

Cilantro Tea

There’s another well-known cooking herb that you may count on each time a pearly white of yours is aching, and it’s none other than cilantro. Some people refer to it as coriander, while others choose to call it Chinese parsley.

No matter how you wish to call it, one thing remains: it’s something that you may consume in tea form to beat a toothache. If you have no time to turn it into tea, simply chew on a couple of fresh cilantro leaves.

Ginger Tea

Last but not least, you may drive away that pain caused by a tooth that refuses to cooperate with a cup of ginger tea, which is a very popular home remedy for an assortment of digestive issues like nausea and indigestion.

You may also put your trust in ginger’s cousin, and that’s turmeric. No matter which of the two you prefer, consuming it in tea form can help put an end to that toothache as well as many other types of aches and pains.
