13. Prop Up Your Head at Night

Toothaches often intensify later in the day and during sleep. Elevate your head higher than your body at bedtime to help keep the blood flow from rushing to the aching region. To prop your head, place at least one firm pillow under it. This may reduce pressure on your sore mouth so that you can experience some relief from your pain.
