Can ginger cure toothache

Toothache is a very common oral disease in life. Many people have experienced toothache symptoms at ordinary times. Most people want to relieve the pain as soon as possible when they have toothache. Ginger is a common food ingredient. Ginger is very effective in treating colds and other diseases. Many people use ginger to relieve pain when they have toothache, but they are not sure whether ginger can relieve pain. In fact, ginger can effectively relieve toothache.

In life, ginger has significant effects and is helpful in treating colds and other diseases. However, in addition to treating colds, ginger can also be used to treat toothaches. When you have a toothache, just hold a piece of ginger in your mouth at the painful area. This will effectively eliminate the toothache. This is because ginger contains ingredients such as gingerol, shogaol, citral and capsaicin. These ingredients have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and bactericidal effects, and can be used repeatedly if necessary. However, ginger is only a temporary treatment for toothache, and it does not address the root cause.

In addition to ginger to relieve toothache, there are some tips that can also effectively relieve toothache without any side effects.

The pain will usually be relieved a lot after one day, and it often takes two to three days in a row to improve. Friends who have toothache may wish to try it, it is relatively simple and has no side effects.

2. Use mouthwash to relieve toothache, but the mouthwash used here is very particular. It requires you to mix it yourself. Specifically, add an appropriate amount of table salt to warm water at about 37 degrees, and then use this salt water to rinse your mouth, which can effectively relieve toothache symptoms.

In addition, periodontal pain may be caused by inflammation or bacterial infection. If it is an infection, you can use antibiotics for antibacterial treatment. If it is caused by internal heat, you can eat some honey, kudzu powder and other heat-clearing foods, which can eliminate the toothache.

The permanent way to relieve toothache is to go to the dental department for treatment. At the same time, we must develop good living habits, eat less snacks, and brush our teeth frequently, so as to maintain oral hygiene and avoid tooth decay.

What are the causes of toothache?

① Tooth decay. Commonly known as "tooth decay" or "cavities"

Dental caries can occur in both deciduous and permanent teeth. Dental caries can cause loss of chewing ability. In severe cases, complications such as pulpitis, periodontal abscess, and mandibular osteomyelitis may occur, endangering overall health.

②Acute pulpitis

Pulpitis, commonly known as dental neuralgia, is mostly caused by the infection of caries that develops into the pulp cavity and is the main cause of severe toothache.

③Acute pericoronitis of wisdom teeth

Pericoronitis of wisdom teeth often occurs when oral hygiene is poor and the body's resistance is reduced. It is more likely to occur in mandibular wisdom teeth than in maxillary wisdom teeth. At the onset of the disease, the patient will feel gum pain. The mandibular wisdom teeth are close to the pharynx, which may cause sore throat and difficulty opening the mouth, affecting speaking and eating.

④ Wedge-shaped defect at the cervical region

Due to gum recession and hard toothbrush bristles, the enamel is very thin on the tooth surface close to the gums. The friction of the bristles when brushing often wears off the enamel, and the exposed dentin is softer and is worn into deeper depressions by the bristles, causing soreness when eating cold or hot food. In this case, the tooth should be filled promptly.
