Ginger-cayenne paste
Another home remedy to try if you are experiencing a toothache is the ginger-cayenne paste. To make it, you need to mix equal parts of powdered cayenne and ginger, then add a few drops of water. Dip a cotton swab or ball into the mixture until it gets damp enough. Put the swab or ball around the affected area until you feel better. Keep in mind that both ingredients are heat-packed spices, so avoid trying this approach when you have a low tolerance for hot and spicy substances. [14]
