Salt kills the bugs that cause toothache

Submitted by Mervyn

If you suspect you have an infection, wash out your mouth with a glass of warm, or tepid, salted water every couple of hours or so until the inflammation and pain dies down - but don't use this effective remedy to put off that visit to the dentist.
