Now this one of the more surprising home remedies for toothache. This is only a quick fix but certainly worth a try

In between your thumb and index finger is a nerve that uses the same receptors as your teeth. When you sort of overload it with pressure or cold your receptors can't process the pain from the teeth which relieves you from it and that's exactly what you want

What you can do is put an ice cube on that V shaped part between the index finger and the thumb and move it around. Or fill a bowl with water and ice cubes and put your hand in it and massage that V shaped area

Small pointer: apply the cold and massage the opposite hand of the side your toothache is on, this will give you only temporary pain relief, but it works
