Toothache :- Cause, Symptoms and Methods of Treatment

A Toothache is a pain that is caused in and around the teeth and jaws which may be sharp, throbbing or constant. Tooth Decay, an infection, loses or broken fillings, receding gums can cause toothache. In some people, pain results only when pressure is applied to the tooth and we can see the swelling around the tooth. 

Simple Home remedies made from ingredients available at home provide massive relief from discomfort which may be temporary but effective for sure. Here are some of the best methods recommended by dentists:

·         Cold Compressor Ice Pack: 

A cold compress or an ice pack can help ease dental pain especially is a toothache is due to injury or swollen gums. A person can try holding the ice pack or bag of frozen peas, for example, against the outside of the cheek above the painful tooth for a few minutes at a time. 

·         Salt Water Mouthwash: 

Rinsing the mouth with warm salt water helps to loosen “debris” lodged in cavities or between teeth. It may reduce swelling, boost healing and relieve a sore throat. 

·         Garlic: 

A fresh clove of garlic should be first crushed and then mixed with a little salt and the mixture applied to the affected tooth. 

·         Thyme:  

Thyme is known for its medicinal uses and its effective remedy. One drop of thyme essential oil can be added to a glass of water to make a mouthwash.  

·         Peppermint Tea:  

One teaspoon of dried peppermint leaves can be put in a cup of boiling water and steeped for 20 minutes. After allowing cooling, it can be swished around in the mouth then spat out or swallowed. 

·         Aloe Vera:  

The gel should be applied to the painful area of the mouth and gently massaged. 

·         Hydrogen Peroxide rinse: 

It should be mixed in equal parts of 3% hydrogen peroxide and water and swished in the mouth for about 30 sec. After spitting it out, the mouth should be rinsed several times with plain water. 

·         Cloves: 

Cloves have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. A person can soak a small cotton ball with clove oil and apply it to the area affected by the painful tooth. Dried whole cloves can be used. Gently chew a whole clove to release its oil and hold in place against the affected tooth for up to 30 minutes. 

 These are home remedies and maybe temporary but these are the common recommendations of the dentists too. 

 Anyhow, it is important to seek immediate treatment from a dentist.
