If you have a bad toothache, the only sensible thing to do is see a dentist.

In fact, you can save a whole lot of money over a lifetime just by being a regular visitor to a (good) dentist.

They don’t always charge in standard ways; if you are prepared to travel a bit, choose a dentist in a less affluent area. They will generally charge less.

But if you have a bad toothache and it’s going to take a few days to get to the dentist, my “cure” is:

– chop a small clove of garlic very finely, add a good pinch of salt, and swish and chew the mixture around the tooth.

Garlic works wonders and stops the pain – very good for teeth on edge!

The only trouble is fronting up to a dentist reeking of garlic. I suggest two days prior to the dentist appointment you choose a strong chemical pain reliever instead (nurofen or ibuferen etc.).
