Do teeth get electric shock after drinking water? Don’t worry, these household items are the best friends of teeth.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Be it sipping hot tea in winter or cold ice cream in summer, the real pleasure becomes grim when it creates a sharp tingling (sensitivity) in the teeth as soon as it enters the mouth. It feels as if someone has pulled a vein. Many of us have stopped eating our favorite things due to this fear. In common language it is called “the tooth feeling hot or cold”.

This often happens when the upper layer of teeth (enamel) wears away or the gums become weak. It’s okay to watch toothpaste commercials on TV, but sometimes the real cure lies in our kitchen itself. Come, let’s know today home remedies Which our grandmothers have been using for years and which are really effective.

1. Salt and water: cheapest, surest
As simple as this recipe sounds, it works equally well. Salt is a natural antiseptic.

• How to do: Mix half a teaspoon of rock salt (or plain salt) in a glass of lukewarm water. Gargle with this twice a day. It reduces swelling of gums and removes sensitivity of teeth.

2. Guava Leaves: Natural painkiller
If you have a guava tree near your house, you are in luck. Young and soft leaves of guava are a panacea for toothache and tingling.

• How to do: Wash two-three clean leaves and chew them slowly in your mouth. The juice that comes out of it directly calms the nerves. You can also boil the leaves and gargle with that water.

3. Clove Oil
People of old times always used to say to press clove in the mouth in case of toothache. It also works wonders in tinkering. The properties present in cloves numb the nerves, providing instant relief.

• How to do: Apply clove oil to a small piece of cotton and place it on the tooth where the tingling occurs. The pain will disappear within 15-20 minutes.

4. Garlic: Spicy but useful
Chewing a clove of garlic with a little salt may seem difficult, but it is at the forefront of killing bacteria. If the tingling is due to infection, garlic will root it out.

a little advice
Apart from these tips, keep one more thing in mind, do not rub your brush too hard. Use a “soft” brush and avoid brushing immediately after citrus fruits (like lemon), as this can further weaken the enamel. These small changes and home remedies will bring back your “smile”. Now don’t be afraid, enjoy the ice cream!
