What are the effective treatments for toothache caused by heat?

Not paying attention to the correct diet or weather conditions can easily cause toothache. For toothache caused by getting angry, we should also pay attention to the correct relief and treatment. We must drink plenty of water and apply ice to the painful area to quickly relieve the pain, or apply garlic to the painful area to relieve the pain immediately.

1. Massage the Hegu point to relieve the pain immediately when you have a toothache caused by internal heat

Massage also has a good auxiliary effect in treating toothache caused by heat. Hegu point belongs to the acupuncture point of the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming. Pressing it has the effect of dispelling wind and relieving pain, unblocking meridians and opening the orifices. Patients can massage the Hegu point, which is usually called the tiger's mouth, and press it tightly and loosely, about once every two seconds, about 30 times per minute, and keep pressing for 20 minutes. Massaging the Hegu point in this way helps to expel heat from the body, thereby achieving the effect of immediately relieving pain and reducing heat. It is effective for toothache, tinnitus, red and swollen eyes, and sore throat caused by heat.

2. Apply ice to relieve toothache immediately

When you have a toothache caused by heat, you can use the trick of applying ice to relieve the pain immediately. You just need to apply ice cubes to the cheek where the toothache is, or wrap the ice cubes in a cold towel. This is very good for acute pain relief because freezing can reduce the number of nerve excitement and lower the speed of nerve conduction. This will slow down the conduction and generation of pain and achieve the pain relief effect.

3. Rub garlic on toothache to relieve pain immediately

The allicin contained in garlic can stimulate nerves and eliminate pain, and garlic also has the effect of disinfection and sterilization. When you have a toothache caused by inflammation, break the tip of a garlic clove to let the garlic juice overflow, rub it on the painful area several times, which can relieve the pain immediately. If you have severely worn teeth and a clear painful area, you can directly use the garlic head to rub the sensitive painful area repeatedly, 1-2 times a day, 1-2 minutes each time, and the pain can be significantly reduced or disappear.
