Home Remedies for Wisdom Tooth Pain

Saltwater Rinse

Rinsing your mouth with a solution of saltwater several times during the day can be effective in reducing wisdom tooth pain. Studies have shown that saltwater naturally contains many disinfectant components that can kill bacteria. By rinsing regularly, you can prevent these microorganisms from building up in the broken gums located around your wisdom teeth and causing pain. Saltwater solutions can be purchased in any drug store. You can also make it on your own by mixing salt with boiled water. Swirl around your mouth in a few minutes before rinsing. Do it several times per day until the pain subdues. [2]
