7. Household salt

Out of a fear of dentists, a lack of funds or a belief in the greater efficacy of natural cures some individuals prefer to try home tooth decay treatments. Salt is well known for its antiseptic properties. Natural remedy enthusiasts suggest you mix a teaspoon of salt into a cup of warm water to produce mouthwash. They say that if you swill it around the area of the painful tooth for a minute or so it helps reduce pain and destroy bacteria. It is a safe solution to apply but whether it can be a substitute for a visit to the dentist is open to dispute.
