Quick relief from toothache

The temperature is high in the summer, and staying in the air-conditioned room for a long time will make the body feel dry. Not only will the mental state be bad, but symptoms of getting angry will also appear. For mild cases of internal heat, just drink some heat-reducing scented tea or eat some heat-clearing foods in time. But some people are special. Getting angry will cause severe toothache, which not only causes pain but also swelling. So is there any effective way to quickly relieve toothache?

When it is inconvenient to go to the hospital when you have a toothache, you can try the following emergency methods. Some small tips can also help relieve the pain.

1. First aid measures.

1. Use a piece of Sichuan pepper and hold it on the decayed tooth to relieve the pain.

2. Bite a lilac flower into pieces 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).

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

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

5. 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.

2. Small methods to relieve toothache.

1. Take a bite of an orange.

Cut a piece or slice of orange and stick it on or bite it on the aching tooth to relieve the pain. It should be noted that oranges that have just been taken out of the refrigerator or oranges that are too cold will make the teeth more sensitive to cold, so they should be placed at room temperature before applying.

2. Drink more water .

Some toothaches are caused by caries. Drinking water frequently can help flush away some caries-causing bacteria in the mouth and reduce the chance of pain.

3. Bite a tea bag.

Black or green tea contains tannic acid, which can both help reduce swelling and help the blood clot, promoting healing. Place the tea bag in water and heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds until warm. Squeeze out excess water from the tea bag and bite the tea bag on the painful area.

4. Eat less raw fruits and vegetables and more mashed potatoes.

When you have a toothache, it is best to avoid eating sugary or spicy foods. You should also avoid eating foods that require hard chewing, such as raw fruits and vegetables high in fiber. To relieve toothache symptoms, it is best to stick to liquid or soft foods, and the food temperature should not be too hot or too cold. For example, eating mashed potatoes, soft noodles, soft rice, etc.

5. Change toothpaste frequently.

Using the same toothpaste for a long time can easily cause oral bacteria to become "adapted" to the toothpaste. Therefore, people who are prone to toothaches should change to different brands of toothpaste every few months.

6. Apply hot or cold compress to the cheeks.

Applying a hot (cold) towel to the aching area can help relieve the pain. Drinking hot soup, hot tea, etc. also has analgesic effects similar to hot or cold compresses. If your toothache is very sensitive to excessive heat or cold, you can drink lukewarm tea, cocoa drinks, or lemon water.

7. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water.

Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water, or holding it in your mouth for a while, can promote saliva secretion and relieve severe toothache immediately.

8. Keep brushing your teeth even if you have toothache.

Poor oral hygiene is one of the main causes of tooth decay and toothache. Some people are afraid to brush their teeth when they have a toothache, which may make the condition worse. When brushing your teeth, be careful not to brush too fast or for too long, 2 minutes is enough.

3. Notes

1. For stubborn toothache, it is best to take painkillers sublingually to temporarily relieve the pain.

2. Pain relief does not mean treatment. Pay attention to oral and dental hygiene to prevent toothache. When a toothache occurs and the above methods do not relieve the pain, you should go to the hospital for emergency treatment as soon as possible.

3. The key to preventing toothache is to maintain oral hygiene. It is important to brush your teeth every morning and evening. Rinsing your mouth after meals is also a good idea.

4. To prevent dental diseases, you should also use the "horizontal and vertical brushing method". When brushing your teeth, the direction of movement should be consistent with the direction of the gaps between the teeth. This can achieve the purpose of massaging the gums, improve blood circulation in the surrounding tissues, and reduce the pain caused by dental diseases.
