Summarizing

Of course, each of the methods suggested above will only help to alleviate a toothache, but in no case should you think that if the pain has subsided, then there is no more problem. Only a dentist can name the exact cause of the pain and finally cure the tooth. No matter how wonderful the results of self-medication are, there is no need to postpone a visit to the dentist, because the problem can nest much deeper than you think.

When a tooth begins to ache, it is always sudden, and almost always predictable - the pain will intensify if it is not immediately relieved. It will grow and interfere with a full-fledged existence, focusing all thoughts on one problem - how to stop the pain. It's great if a toothache caught you on the way to the dentist, or you have the opportunity to call your dentist and sit in the dental chair half an hour later, waiting to be saved from the pain. But most often this insidious pain overtakes at the most inopportune time, for example, late in the evening, or late at night, or in a suburban tourist camp, which is located deep in the forest.

Tooth ache - your actions

To effectively soothe a toothache at home, you must first follow a few rules.

1. Pain occurs while eating - stop eating immediately.

   

2. It hurts from hot / cold / sour / sweet (tea, ice cream, lemon, candy) - stop taking the irritant.

   

3. A tooth got sick after mechanical impact (it sounds stupid, but many more, especially young citizens open bottles with their teeth or snap nuts) - stop the action that you performed.

   

4. Rinse your mouth out with clean water, not hot or cold.

   

5. Use floss to remove food particles from between your teeth.

   

6. Take a toothbrush and paste and brush your teeth thoroughly.

   

7. Rinse out your mouth with mouthwash.

   

Now the easiest way is to take a pain reliever. But it is not always at hand, and not all people are ready to take pills without understanding the cause of the disease.

Before you start swallowing the pain reliever radically, you can use one of the gentle home remedies for toothache. And anticipating any procedures, it will not hurt to figure out for what reason you have a toothache.

Table. Making a preliminary diagnosis by the nature of the pain

Use of pharmacy analgesics

After figuring out what happened to your tooth, you decide to take your medicine. What pharmaceutical preparations will easily and quickly relieve toothache.

By the way. For a mild case of carious lesions, an effective analgesic may be sufficient. For acute pulpal inflammation or other serious problems, additional measures may be necessary.

According to the diminishing strength of the impact, the following medicines are recommended for self-relieving toothache.

1. Nurofen - quickly relieves pain of any origin.

   

2. Ketanov is a powerful analgesic drug, in terms of the strength of its action it is compared to morphine.

   

3. Ketonal is a powerful medicine that has not only anti-pain but also anti-inflammatory effect.

   

4. Ibuprofen is an analgesic that blocks pain receptor sensitivity.

   

5. Nimesil - helps with chronic and long-term pain.
   

   

6. Analgin - can relieve mild pain.

   

7. Paracetamol - Relieves mild pain and inflammation.

   

8. Spazmalgon - relieves weak and medium pain syndrome of an inflammatory-infectious nature.

   

9. Baralgin - helps weakly, has many contraindications.

   

The first "five" funds are potent. The rest are much less effective, although it all depends on the individual characteristics of the organism. Someone from a toothache is helped only by Baralgin, but Ketanov "does not take". Monitor your feelings and strictly follow the instructions for taking.

Advice. If there is an ampoule of novocaine or lidocaine in the home medicine cabinet, you can moisten a cotton pad with the solution and apply it to the disturbing tooth. The freezing effect will ease the painful sensations. Applicable only for people who are not allergic to drugs.



For allergic manifestations and other contraindications to the use of pharmacy analgesics, for example, pregnancy or childhood, you can use dental drops and pain relieving gels. Teething gels for babies, with an analgesic and cooling effect, when applied topically to a mildly aching tooth, will have the same effect as analgin taken internally. Drops based on essential oils will also help to relieve pain in the short term.





Important! Do not apply analgesics to the mucous membrane near the affected tooth. Almost all pills, especially aspirin, with prolonged contact with the gum will cause it to burn.

Alternative ways to relieve pain

In addition to pills, the range of which is rather limited, there are many other ways to relieve toothache, which are not inferior in effectiveness to pharmaceuticals.

Essential oils

Certainly, toothache will help:

• camphor oil;

  

• clove oil;
• chamomile oil;
• myrrh oil;

  

• lavender oil;
• fir oil;
• tea tree oil;

  

• peppermint oil.

The oils must be natural, not synthetic fakes. Yes, these funds are very expensive, but one drop on a cotton swab applied to a sore tooth is enough to relieve an average pain syndrome. If the pain is severe, the dose is doubled. Hold for about a quarter of an hour.

Alcohol tinctures

This type of folk pain relievers works on the principle of freezing. From the alcohol contained in the tinctures, or rather, from the tannins that make up it, the tissue of the gums and teeth becomes numb, and the pain ceases to be felt. Plus, the cavity is disinfected.

Of the alcoholic tinctures, the following are used:




Take about 20 ml of undiluted tincture into your mouth. It shouldn't be cold. Keep on the affected side so that it covers the problem tooth for about two minutes. Spit it out.



By the way. If there are no herbal infusions, you can use medical alcohol, diluted in half with warm boiled water, or any strong alcohol. Of course, this method, although safe for adults, is not suitable for the treatment of childhood toothache.

Rinses

A very "popular" and popular way to relieve toothache. Suitable for temporary pain relief in most cases. It is possible to rinse with separate components. The simplest ingredients that are easy to find in every home are the following:

• salt;
• soda;
• herbal decoctions.

Salt - sea or iodized. Add iodine to the soda. You can mix the first three ingredients in one rinse.



The herbs are the same as listed above in tinctures. Plus oak bark (tannins). In principle, any herbs that have anti-inflammatory effects can be used. The rules are as follows: warm rinsing, done as often as possible (once every quarter of an hour), every two hours a fresh herbal decoction is prepared. A tablespoon of herbal collection is poured into a glass of water. Add a teaspoon of soda or salt to the same amount of water.



By the way. Rinses, due to the absence of contraindications, are recommended even for pregnant women. Soda and salt are 100% safe. There may be allergies to herbal ingredients.

Applications

These include various gadgets. A tampon with a pain reliever is applied to the disturbing tooth.



Various mixtures can be prepared for applications.

1. Table salt (20 g) + ammonia (10 ml) + camphor alcohol (10 ml). Dissolve everything in a liter of water, moisten a tampon and make an application. Repeat until the pain disappears.

   

2. Validol solution. Everyone knows this popular medicine that older people like to put under their tongues "from the heart". But few people know that if you crush a tablet of validol into powder, dilute with two tablespoons of water, moisten a cotton swab or gauze in the resulting solution and apply it to an aching tooth, you can get a powerful analgesic effect, albeit short-lived.

   

3. Vanilla extract. In it, you need to wet a swab or disk and attach it to the tooth. It especially helps with aching pain, reducing its intensity.

   

4. Garlic. The use of garlic as a dental pain reliever is controversial. Many people strongly advise applying garlic to the wrist on the opposite side of the toothache. Others believe that it is not only useless, but also harmful. Garlic can only cause harm if the peeled clove is cut and applied directly to skin, and even leave for a few hours. The tooth must be cleaned, wrapped in several layers of gauze and tied to the hand in the area of ​​the pulse on the wrist for 30-45 minutes. In no case should cut garlic be applied to the gum or tooth - the burn will be monstrous.

   

5. You can also make an important garlic applique. Crush a clove and a ring of onion (you can grate on a fine grater), mix them in equal proportions with table salt and dilute with three parts of water. It is not recommended to keep this application on the gingival mucosa for more than a quarter of an hour.

   

6. Informal medicine also recommends pain relief with lard. If the medical world has at least some explanation for garlic and onions (the presence of phytoncides that kill microbes), then the analgesic effect of fat can only be explained by a placebo. However, there are many people who find a strip of frozen bacon applied to their gums to relieve pain.

   

By the way. For gargles or lotions, you can use apple cider vinegar. A swab soaked in undiluted vinegar is applied to the disturbing tooth, or a rinse solution is prepared from 200 ml of water and 20 ml of vinegar.

Pastes

Pain relieving pastes that are applied directly to the aching tooth are organic and safe. In addition to individual intolerance to the components, they have no contraindications.

1. Salt, iodine and pepper paste. Black pepper, table salt and a few drops of iodine. Everything is mixed, water is added dropwise to give the mixture a pasty state. It is applied to the tooth or placed in a carious cavity.

   

2. Potato paste. Raw potatoes grate until gruel, attach to the tooth.

   

3. Clove paste. This spice is the best for relieving tooth pain. If you don't have clove oil on hand, two pieces of dried cloves can simply be chewed and put on (in) a sore tooth. You can crush the spice in a mortar and add to the powder vegetable oil to the state of gruel.

   

4. Onion paste. Unlike garlic, onions will not burn mucous membranes. You can just chew a piece of raw onion and leave the paste on your tooth right away if you experience pain, especially if it occurs while eating.

   

5. Spinach pasta. Chew or crush raw spinach leaves. Attach to the tooth.

   

6. Sprouted wheat paste. Only young shoots are taken. Crushed into gruel. They have many antibacterial properties that inhibit the development of bacteria.

   

7. Plantain paste. The plantain leaf must be washed well and turned into gruel. Attach to the tooth.

   

8. Mumiyo. This healing substance is a very good remedy that has been repeatedly tested in practice by thousands of patients, helping to soothe toothache for a rather long time. Shilajit should be placed in the problem cavity, or applied to the tooth.

Modern dentistry helps to preserve the bone organs in the human mouth for as long as possible. However, there are times when removal is inevitable, such as in a situation with wisdom teeth. Pain after G8 extraction is often inevitable, but if you follow the rules of care, this phenomenon quickly disappears.

How much gum hurts after removing a wisdom tooth

The pain of the gums is intense after the extraction of the third molar. The initial one occurs after the end of the local anesthesia. With correct extraction, the painful sensations completely disappear already on the fifth or sixth day, but in rare cases it can be a week, which indicates the development of complications.

Easy tooth extraction

Removal is not easy. The dentist treats this process responsibly, because extraction can have complications as a result of the fact that the bone organ in the mouth has an uneven arrangement, has a large number of curved roots, and this greatly complicates its removal. Removing the figure eight can be simple or difficult. Simple removal is done using surgical instruments such as forceps or elevators.

Gentle extraction will take place without the need to make incisions in the gum, separate the roots with an additional instrument, or drill a tooth out of the jawbone. Simple removal lasts from one to two to ten to fifteen minutes. A professional doctor will do everything possible to pull out the upper or lower teeth minimally traumatic for the patient. If the patient is interested in how much the gums can hurt, then this happens at least in the fewest days.

Complicated wisdom tooth extraction

Extraction refers to a number of procedures with increased pain, considerable duration, trauma and a difficult wound healing process. The operation lasts from fifteen to twenty minutes to two to three hours. The complexity of the unpleasant procedure lies in the preparation of the bone organ itself, in the removal of roots by reducing the amount of tissue near the tooth socket, dividing the roots or removing a piece of the gum.

Dangerous complications

There are a number of typical characteristics that can occur after a tooth is extracted: aching pain, difficulty swallowing, swelling of the gums or even throat, bruising on the cheek, or elevated temperature body. All of them pass after 2 to 5 days.

• In case of severe pain, it is necessary to use pain medications prescribed by a doctor. If the discomfort does not go away after three days of using the medication, then you need to contact a specialist again.
• Many dentists recommend using a solution of water, baking soda and iodine for rinsing as a pain reliever and wound healing agent. It is advisable to carry out the procedure several times every day, but on condition that at least several hours have passed after the operation.
• If complications arise, the dentist will prescribe a course of antibiotics, which is guaranteed to relieve pain.

The hole hurts

The wound that remains after removal is called a hole. It is filled with a blood clot, which is necessary to resist infections, the formation of tissue cover. If the healing process goes smoothly, then after 3-4 days a clot will form in the hole, which indicates a successful healing. V postoperative period pain may occur in the hole. Then try rinsing with a solution of soda, iodine and salt, applying compresses. At severe pain, suppuration or bleeding, you should consult a doctor again.

Neighboring teeth hurt

Sometimes, after the expiration of the anesthetic, the adjacent bone organ begins to disturb. This happens for several reasons:

• The dentition is slightly displaced, which can squeeze or expand the hole. As a result, pain occurs, which disappears in five to six days.
• During the operation, the neck of the root of the adjacent molar could be exposed or a piece of it could break off. If you notice this, then you should immediately go for a second visit to the dentist.
• In the hole, an infectious process could begin with the appearance of secondary signs: head pain, cheek swelling or an increase in body temperature, which affect the entire jaw. In this situation, the patient needs to see a dentist.

Jaw hurts

• There is a violation of the integrity of the vessels, ligaments, nerve endings that supported the adjacent teeth.
• At the time of the operation, strong pressure was exerted on the jaw or adjacent soft tissues.

Taking antibiotics

Medicines are used if the patient has an infectious and inflammatory process.

A person who has a toothache can think of only one thing: a toothache: how to remove, relieve, soothe or stop. And recipes that help to cope with such a painful condition have been collected by people for many centuries.

Causes of toothache

First, let's figure out why a toothache occurs. In most cases, it is caused by damage to the dental nerve (pulp) or the tissues surrounding the tooth. The pain can manifest itself in different ways: be aching constant, shooting, pulsating, given to the ear or temple, provoke a migraine, aggravated by exposure to cold, heat, mechanical stimuli.

Tooth pain is caused by the following diseases:

• Caries, in case of deep penetration of the infection into the tooth cavity,
• Exposure of the neck of the tooth,
• Violation of technology when filling a tooth,
• Enamel cracks
• Pulpitis,
• Periodontitis.

All these diseases require treatment by a dentist, even if you find efficient way, how to remove a toothache, this does not mean that you have healed your tooth. Dental tissues do not have the ability to heal themselves, and discomfort may return at any time.

Sometimes the pain disappears for a long time, but this factor only indicates that the inflammatory process has passed from an acute phase to a chronic one, that the death of nerve tissues occurs, and as a consequence, serious complications can develop, such as a purulent abscess, inflammation of bone tissue (osteomyelitis), phlegmon.

At the first symptoms of pain, you need to make an appointment with a dentist. The doctor will find out what pathological processes caused the pain and will be able to prescribe the correct treatment.

It also happens that other diseases are "masked" under a toothache. For example, with diseases of the jaw joints, the patient may experience sensations similar to a toothache. The same sensations occur with inflammation of the trigeminal nerve or maxillary sinus.
