For toothaches caused by sores or infections, rubbing half a garlic clove in your mouth for 7 to 10 minutes can help relieve discomfort. If you experience pain, gently chew the garlic clove to release the juice. After about 15 to 30 minutes, the allicin in the juice will work and the pain will subside.

Garlic is an excellent remedy for toothaches, especially if they occur on the weekend. Many dentists are closed. But remember that this is only an emergency measure, not a cure. If your toothache persists for a long time, you should see a dentist as soon as possible. Toothaches come in many forms, and a homemade pain reliever isn’t always enough. So try to seek professional help as soon as possible.
