How To Use Tea Bag For Toothache
Choose a tea with a strong tannic acid content, such as black, green tea or peppermint tea. Astringent tannins aid in the reduction of swelling and the formation of blood clots.
Black Tea Bag For Toothache
- Put a teabag of your preferred black tea in boiling water to steep.
- Then apply it to your sore tooth as a compress once its temperature is comfortable enough so that you won’t burn your mouth.
However, the tea includes tannins, which will aid with the pain and also reduce gum inflammation. Tannins are chemical ingredients that give tea its often dry and bitter flavour as well as its colour.
Chamomile Tea Bag For Toothache
Chamomile tea mouth rinse tends to help relieve the pain of swollen, bleeding, or infected gums. Its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties would perhaps make you feel better soon as possible.
- Brush your teeth first, and then make a cup of chamomile tea using a dried chamomile tea bag.
- Add a teaspoon of lemon juice and a drop of vanilla essence to the tea once it has completely cooled (but it is still warm).
Peppermint Tea Bag For Toothache
A peppermint tea bag is another effective at-home treatment for toothaches. Besides the fact that peppermint tea tastes excellent, it also has a pleasant cooling and mildly relaxing effect that may help to relieve your toothache.
- Boil some water in a cup
- For up to five minutes, steep the peppermint tea bag.
- Hold off until the peppermint tea reaches room temperature.
- After placing the tea bag over the painful tooth, bite down on it for ten minutes.
- Repeat frequently as required.
Conclusion
Tea bags do have an antimicrobial effect, which can make a toothache feel better. Tea bags comprise tannins, which are astringent substances that can effectively decrease swelling and inflammation.

Hi Kaine…great article. My husband has very bad teeth and suffers toothaches A Lot…We always revert back to this method of using teabags to help him…best part?? It truly does work!! He puts it in his cheek by the bad tooth when it’s swollen from infection and in the morning removed it. The teabag is full of all the nasty infection that it drew out of his gums around the tooth. His toothache is usually gone. I also make a home remedy that people will call me to get, even in the middle of the night! If you might be interested in knowing about this simple Help remedy, just let me know!
