Cure for toothaches: Rinse the mouth with some alcohol, such as vodka, to kill any infection. Clean a cavity out with a toothpick then pack it with some cotton soaked in clove oil. Keep the mouth and sore area well cleansed with salt water. Rinse your mouth out with hydrogen peroxide. This will kill the infection. Rub the palm of your hand with ice to relieve pain.
