Wisdom teeth are actually your third set of molars, which anthropologists believe were evolution’s response to our ancient ancestor’s diet. Whether your wisdom tooth makes you wise or not is a separate matter for debate but your wisdom tooth gives you intense pain for sure! Your mouth can have four wisdom teeth, medically called molars, one at each corner. Your wisdom tooth or teeth may grow when you are anywhere between 16 and 25, and sometimes even later in life, in your 30s too. Read about the 7 tips to get rid of the wisdom tooth pain.

1. Clove For Wisdom Tooth Pain


• Take 1-3 whole cloves and hold them in your mouth close to the paining area.
• Within a couple of minutes, the cloves will release their essential oil into your mouth, and you will feel the area with clove going numb.
• As the whole spice becomes softer, chew it slowly to get even more clove oil from it.

• Take few drops of clove oil and with the help of a cotton ball, hold it against the painful wisdom tooth.
• If you feel clove oil is too strong for your mouth, dilute it in ½ tsp of olive oil and then apply it to your aching tooth.

2. Peppermint for Wisdom Tooth Pain

• Take some peppermint oil on fingertips and rub the painful area with this. You may also use cotton ball to apply peppermint oil on your painful wisdom tooth.

• Take 1 teaspoon of dried peppermint leaves.
• Pour one cup of hot water over it.
• Let it steep for about 20 minutes during which it will cool down.
• If its lukewarm, it’s better but if it’s at normal temperature, that will also do.
• Take a mouthful of this peppermint tea and swish this around within your mouth.
• Spit the tea. Repeat.

3. Tea Tree Oil for Wisdom Tooth Pain

• Take 1-2 drops of tea tree oil and rub it on your tooth with your finger tip.
• If it feels very strong, dilute it with a little olive oil. You may use ½ tsp olive oil and mix 1-2 drops of tea tree oil with this.
• Now apply on the painful tooth with your finger tip or a cotton ball.

4. Ice Pack for Wisdom Tooth Pain

• Try icing for 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off until the pain subsides. Use this method as many times you desire throughout the day for extended pain relief.

5. Baking Soda Paste


• To use this easy home remedy for wisdom tooth pain, take a dab of your regular toothpaste, put it in a small bowl, and mix a bit of baking soda with it.
• Apply this paste directly to the tooth that’s hurting and you are sure to notice relief.

6. Guava Leaves


• Take a handful of fresh guava leaves and boil them in water for a few minutes.
• Remove the boiled leaves from the water and chew them for 30 seconds without swallowing.
• After 30 seconds, spit the leaves out, and you’ll notice a relief with the wisdom tooth pain.

7. Apple Cider Vinegar

• Take a cotton ball and soak it in apple cider vinegar.
