What to do if your tooth hurts

Toothache is a torture for people. There is a saying in life that "toothache is not a disease, but it is really painful when it happens". This shows how great an impact toothache has on people. There are many types of toothaches. Some are caused by severe tooth damage, while others are caused by anxiety and anger. If you want to treat toothache, you must treat the cause. What should I do if my tooth root hurts? Here are some ways to relieve toothache.

1. Ginger slices can effectively relieve toothache. I read in a book that ginger can relieve toothache because it contains gingerol, zingiberene, citral and capsaicin, which have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and bactericidal effects. When I had a toothache that day, I cut a small piece and bit it on the small hole. After a while, the pain was relieved a little. (The editor recommends Pafuo toothache spray, which can quickly relieve pain with a light spray. It is the best way to treat toothache now.)

2. Drinking water containing MSG can also relieve toothache. Dissolve MSG in boiling water at a concentration of 1:50. When the temperature is suitable, hold the MSG solution in your mouth. Spit it out after a few minutes and change it. I tried it several times and it did relieve the pain, but I don’t know if I forgot the pain because of the tossing and turning. Whether it really worked or not remains to be seen.

3. Aloe vera can cure toothache. Aloe vera was originally used for beauty and acne treatment. It can come in handy for toothache. Cut a small piece of aloe vera, wash and peel it, and bite it on the painful area. It will be effective in a short while. This method is really good.

4. Take 10 peppercorns and one or two liang of white wine, soak the peppercorns in the wine. After ten minutes, hold the wine in your mouth. The effect will be seen in a few minutes. Do it twice a day, 10 minutes each time, and you will be cured in 3-4 days.

5. If it is periodontitis or gingivitis: Mix an egg with an equal amount of liquor and drink a mouthful. Hold it in your mouth and spit it out after 5 minutes. Do this twice a day (one egg a day). It will reduce inflammation and relieve pain in 2-3 days. Other methods:

1. Take an appropriate amount of garlic, mash it, and apply it to the painful area after warming it to relieve symptoms such as pulpitis, periodontitis and toothache.

2. Dissolve MSG and warm water in a ratio of 1:50, hold the MSG solution in your mouth for a while and then spit it out. Do this several times in a row, and after two days the toothache will disappear.

3. When you have a toothache, you can cut a small piece of ginger and bite it on the painful area. It can be reused when necessary.

4. Take 10 grams of white pepper, grind it into powder, add white wine to make it into a paste, and put it into the tooth cavity 4 times.

5. Take an appropriate amount of beehive, add an appropriate amount of pure alcohol, light it on fire, and when the beehive burns into black ash, dip your finger in the ash and apply it to the affected tooth. It usually takes 4 to 5 minutes to relieve the pain.

6. Take a little lard and new cotton, wrap the lard with the cotton and heat it, bite it on the toothache for a while, change the brush one at a time, and repeat several times.

7. Take 1 to 2 pills of Liushen Pills, crush them and place them on the gums of the affected teeth for 5 to 10 minutes, once a day, usually not more than 3 times.

8. Put 100 grams of white wine into a cup, add 10 grams of salt, stir, and boil after the salt dissolves. Hold a mouthful of it in the painful area (do not swallow it), and the toothache will stop immediately.

9. Sichuan pepper therapy - Place a Sichuan pepper on the aching tooth and bite down on it to relieve the pain immediately (excluding caries).

10. Method of biting medicine on the affected tooth - take a small piece of the root of Broomrape chinensis, wash and mash it, bite it on the affected tooth for 15-30 minutes and then spit it out (do not swallow it). It can be used repeatedly for those who have relapses. Generally, the pain can be relieved within 3-5 minutes after biting the medicine.

11. Honey and pepper therapy - 6 grams of pepper, 6 grams of beehive, a little salt, put into a pot, add water and boil, rinse your mouth after it cools down, spit it out and rinse again, repeat several times.

12. Watermelon rind therapy - peel off the outer layer of the watermelon rind and dry it (frost is better), seal it in a glass bottle, and when you have tooth decay pain, take a little and put it between your teeth to relieve the pain.

13. Garlic therapy - Place garlic on the area where the tooth hurts, chew it into pieces, do not swallow it, and wait for the garlic juice to penetrate into the gaps between the teeth to relieve the pain.

14. Crush a lilac flower with your teeth and fill the gaps in the decayed teeth. The toothache will disappear in a few hours and will last for a long time (lilac flowers can be purchased at Chinese medicine stores). Clove therapy: Take 1 part of male cloves and grind them, add 2 parts of 95% alcohol, soak the cloves in the alcohol for 3 to 5 days and set aside. When you have a toothache, soak a cotton ball in medicine and place it on the aching tooth. You can also crush the cloves and apply them on the aching tooth.

15. Rubbing the Hegu point (near the base of the hand) with water or massaging and pressing with your fingers can relieve pain.

16. Rinsing your mouth several times with salt water or wine can also relieve or stop toothache.

17. If your teeth hurt when exposed to heat, it is mostly caused by pus accumulation. You can use an ice pack to cool your cheeks to relieve the pain.
