Teeth
For teeth pain: Rub clove oil on teeth
Chamomile for gingivitis
To soothe sore gums when teething, freeze moistened washcloths and let babies gnaw on them. Make sure you always stay with your baby when you've offered such a teether, to prevent choking or suffocation.
Abcessed tooth: rinse your mouth with warm water and salt to clean out any debris and floss gently to remove any food particles that might be trapped between the teeth (and the infection too!). If your mouth becomes swollen, use cold compresses on the face. Anbesol or Orajel may help alleviate the pain temporarily. Do not place any aspirin tablets on the tooth as the acidity can lead to a nasty gingival burn. If it gets really infected, you should call up your dentist for an emergency checkup!
