Treatment with Asafetida:
Dental problems such as toothaches and bleeding gums can be treated at home with the use of asafetida. Simply add a pinch of powder asafetida to lemon juice and then warm it slightly. Use a cotton pad to apply the solution on the affected area. This will give you quick relief from the pain alternatively, asafetida fried in clarified butter can be put in the tooth cavity for instant relief.
Treatment with Guava Leaves:
Fresh guava leaves can also alleviate toothache. Simply chew one or two tender guava leaves until the juice starts working on the affected tooth. Another remedy is to put 4 – 5 guava leaves in water and boil it. Allow the solution to cool to a warm temperature and add some salt. Use the solution as a mouth wash. If you do not have guava leaves, you can use raw spinach leaves instead.
