How to relieve toothache?

Toothache is not a disease, but it is extremely painful and is a very troublesome problem for many people. Toothache is also a common clinical symptom, and many oral diseases may cause toothache symptoms. When patients have toothache, they must pay attention to it. If there is no disease, they can use some small folk remedies to stop the pain. Toothache can also occur when oral care is improper, so they must pay attention to relief. In addition, when you have toothache, you should also pay attention to whether it is caused by a disease. Sometimes toothache may also damage the gums, so when treating it, you should use the right medicine and not use it blindly. So how should we relieve toothache?

1. Rinse your mouth

Some people say that gargling with ice water can achieve a cooling effect. In fact, this method is wrong. Gargling with ice water, the temperature of ice water is low, it will irritate the gums and make the pain worse. The correct way is to take a spoonful of salt, then mix it with warm water close to body temperature, and use it to gargle, once after each meal or before going to bed.

2. Anesthesia

If the pain is still severe, you can use anesthesia, but you dare not use anesthetics indiscriminately. At this time, you can hold a mouthful of strong liquor, which can anesthetize the teeth and gums, thereby achieving the effect of pain relief.

3. Ice compress

Please note that the ice compress here refers to external application, so it does not conflict with what I just said about not rinsing your mouth with ice water. There are mainly two places where ice is applied. Studies have shown that applying ice to these two places is helpful in relieving toothache. Which method to use or whether to try both depends on the severity of your toothache and your personal opinion.

The first place is the V-shaped area where the thumb and index finger bones are connected. Rub this area with ice cubes, and then gently press the ice cubes here for 5-7 minutes. The principle of this method is that this massage method can effectively interfere with the conduction of toothache nerve impulses and achieve the purpose of relieving toothache.

The second place is to apply ice to the cheek closest to the toothache area. I believe many people have tried this method, and it can also help relieve toothache. Don’t do it too frequently, 3-4 times a day, each time for about 15 minutes.

4. Aloe Vera Method

Aloe vera has the effect of eliminating and relieving toothache, so it is suitable for emergency treatment.

Take a small piece of aloe vera, peel off the skin, and apply the pulp containing sticky liquid to the toothache area to relieve toothache.

5. Note

The above methods can only relieve toothache, but cannot cure it. Toothache has many causes, so you should consult a doctor immediately.

Remember not to take medicine blindly. All medicines are toxic. Some people take all kinds of painkillers and antibiotics when they have severe toothache. This is wrong.
