Causes and types of toothache

Toothache originates in the pulp - the inner part of the tooth, which contains a large number of nerve endings and reacts sharply to any pathological process. The most common dental diseases are caries, pulpitis, periodontitis, periostitis, periodontitis. All of them have several types and forms of course (chronic, acute, recurrent), on which the nature of the pain depends.

The types of pain are as follows:

• spontaneous;
• causal;
• paroxysmal;
• pulsating;
• shooting;
• irradiating;
• localized.

• Traumatic injuries (bruise, fracture).
• Poor oral care.
• Plaque deposition and stone formation.
• Microbial invasions in the dental cavity.
• Spread of infection from nearby areas of the maxillofacial region.
• Caries, pulpitis, periodontitis.
• Periodontitis, gingivitis.

Disease symptoms and classic treatment of toothache

Sick teeth bring temporary or permanent discomfort, disrupt normal life activity and can cause a deterioration in the general well-being of a person: weakness, migraine, fever. To determine the type of disease and correctly diagnose, it is necessary to assess the nature of the discomfort, the frequency and duration of their occurrence:

• The carious process causes more often aching, less often acute pain when eating.
• Teeth with a large “hole” indicate the occurrence of a complication of caries - pulpitis. Pulpitis is characterized by acute pain sensations that occur spontaneously, have a paroxysmal character and can be given to other parts of the face.
• Periodontitis causes sharp or aching sensations that are aggravated by eating and biting on the tooth.

To eliminate discomfort, you can apply professional and folk methods of treating toothache.

In addition, at home, you can relieve pain and prevent dental diseases. In the case of acute pulpitis or periodontitis, you should visit the dentist.

Caries treatment at home

Caries is the most common disease - 1st place in the world, according to WHO. The disease is accompanied by the destruction of hard tissues of the teeth and has several forms and stages of course.

Carious teeth are distinguished by the presence of cavities of various depths and increased sensitivity to all types of irritants. Teeth with a “hole” indicate tissue destruction, and the more they are destroyed, the more often and more tangibly unpleasant and painful symptoms appear in a person.

Enamel and dentin contain sensitive processes of pulp nerve cells that respond to environmental factors. The pain arising from the destruction of these tissues may pass on its own after the removal of the stimulus (sweet, cold). But with a deep carious lesion that has reached the pulp, pain attacks will be longer and more acute. Such a disease should be treated in the dentist's office.

However, it is not always possible to immediately go to the doctor when a tooth hurts (for example, if you are at work or in the country). Therefore, it is worth knowing ways that, at least for a while, will help relieve pain, before arriving at a specialist.

It is very important to establish the cause of the pain, but it is almost impossible to do it on your own. So how to relieve a toothache quickly at home when there is no way to visit a doctor in the near future?

Causes of toothache

Pain in the tooth may appear due to the sharp impact of temperature irritants or food acids. In this case, it is worth rinsing your mouth thoroughly with plain water, and even better - brush your teeth. But often soreness occurs due to a dental disease, such as caries, pulpitis or periodontitis.

Excessive accumulations of plaque and bacteria on the surface of the teeth, as well as in the interdental spaces and under the gums, lead to the gradual destruction of enamel and dentin. All this is the result of poor oral hygiene.

When the infection penetrates the pulp, it touches the nerve endings and thereby causes acute pain. Other reasons for the appearance of such an unpleasant symptom include increased sensitivity of the enamel.

note

This phenomenon is usually associated with failures in mineral metabolism, the use of a hard toothbrush, the abuse of acidic foods and frequent chemical teeth whitening.

In addition, it is easy to confuse the discomfort that occurs due to inflammation of the maxillary sinuses and other diseases of the ENT organs with toothache. To identify the true cause of the problem, you need to contact your dentist, you may need to undergo an x-ray examination.

Tablets for toothache

Unfortunately, the necessary collection of herbs for preparing an infusion for rinsing may not always be at hand (it is safer, after all). So in this case, the only option would be to resort to the help of pharmaceutical preparations. So what pills can quickly relieve a toothache?

The easiest option is to drink an Analgin tablet, but this remedy is not the strongest, so it may not have the desired effect.

What else can effectively relieve pain? Experts advise to have on hand at least one of such painkillers as: No-shpa, Nurofen, Baralgin, Deksalgin, Ketanov or, for example, Ketorol.

By the way, the last two drugs are quite potent, and therefore have many contraindications and side effects. These tools must be used with extreme caution.

Medications to relieve toothache

It is not so easy to relieve severe toothache without pills, but sometimes folk remedies become the only way to alleviate the condition when the use of pharmacy medicines is undesirable, for example, during pregnancy.

But here you need to remember one important rule - it is better to coordinate the use of any recipes of traditional medicine with a specialist, at least by phone.

So, below are the most common ways to quickly eliminate acute toothache at home:

1. Solutions and tinctures

The easiest thing to do is to fill your mouth with plain warm water and rinse it well. This will help solve the problem if stuck pieces of food are the cause.

2. Lotions and compresses

Unusual remedies for pain

Some advise applying a cotton ball to the sore spot, previously soaked in alcohol, for example, in whiskey. However, if you still intend to get to the doctor in the near future, this is not the best option. This method, of course, helps to relieve acute pain, but it is better not to resort to it if you just want to alleviate your condition while you go to a specialist.

Sometimes on the Internet you can stumble upon completely absurd advice. For example, some recommend attaching the most ordinary magnet to the cheek or placing a slice of lard, previously cleaned of salt, between the gum and the inside of the cheek.

Someone even suggests attaching a linen chip to the earlobe on the side where the pain comes from. All these tips should not be taken on faith. Severe toothache is always a symptom of some pathological condition, so it is better to consult a specialist.

And uncontrolled self-treatment is fraught with serious consequences for the whole organism as a whole.

What are the complications of self-medication?

If you put off a visit to the dentist for too long and constantly drown out the pain with pharmaceutical preparations, you can easily bring the situation to the point of losing a tooth. If the matter is inflammation, then soreness indicates that the pulp is suffering, that is, the nerve endings in the tooth, and this is already serious.

Soon, the neurovascular bundle can be completely destroyed by destructive processes. Then the pain will subside, but the ligamentous apparatus will gradually weaken, due to which the tooth will loosen and eventually fall out completely.

And if suppuration also occurs, then the patient risks getting serious intoxication of the body.

What absolutely cannot be done

Pain in the tooth delivers so much agony that a person makes desperate attempts to get rid of it by any available means. Therefore, patients often make common mistakes:

• no alcohol, because alcohol does not relieve pain, but only causes intoxication, which reduces pain sensitivity,
• in no case should you apply a warm compress to the sore spot, since heat will only aggravate the situation and make the pain even worse1,
• do not use traditional medicine methods without prior approval from the doctor,
• do not lie flat as the blood flow to the gums will only increase the pain.

And there is no need to endure unpleasant painful sensations. Take a pill and go to a specialist as soon as possible.

Preventive measures: how to prevent toothache

To prevent the occurrence of acute toothache at the most inopportune moment, you should take care of the prevention of dental diseases. To do this, just follow simple tips:

• brush your teeth regularly, at least 2 times a day,
• discard too hard brush and paste with abrasive particles. You should also limit your intake of acidic foods. Otherwise, the enamel will become too susceptible,
• reduce the consumption of sweets, carbohydrates and carbonated drinks with dyes, which only contribute to the growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria,
• do not forget about the importance of regular visits to the dentist's office, at least 2 times a year.

Remember: the use of any methods against toothache is not a solution to the problem, but only a temporary measure. Therefore, at the first opportunity, be sure to consult a dentist to avoid complications and further development of the disease.

First aid: how to drown out a toothache at home

Painful sensations in the teeth are recognized by doctors as one of the strongest and most painful, so it is extremely undesirable to endure a toothache.

The causes of such painful manifestations can be: increased sensitivity of tooth enamel, trauma and mechanical damage, inflammation, and caries.

Modern medicine allows you to quickly get rid of such a pain syndrome. All you need is a timely visit to the dentist's office.

However, sometimes toothache needs to be dealt with quickly. How to relieve a toothache at home with the help of home remedies - later in the material.

Severe toothache: how to relieve?

There are situations when it is not possible to immediately contact a dentist with a pain syndrome. Unpleasant sensations can occur suddenly, or they can increase gradually, starting with minor discomfort.

However, it is highly not recommended to endure acute toothache, as it interferes with full-fledged vital activity, normal sleep patterns and causes severe stress in the body.

Medical methods, how to remove a toothache at home:

1. To get rid of toothache in its initial stage will help analgesics, which have long been known for their antipyretic and analgesic properties and are available at home for everyone. Among them: analgin, aspirin, paracetamol and other drugs with analgesic effect. Such well-known drugs as no-shpa, spasmalgon, papaverine and others in this case are not suitable for emergency care, since the active substances in their composition are aimed at eliminating muscle spasms, which are not the cause of toothache;
2. The oral cavity should be immediately rinsed with a warm solution, which is made from a glass of warm water and a spoonful of soda. You can also add a spoonful of salt or chlorhexidine, which will disinfect the oral cavity;
3. It is necessary to clean the remnants of food from the teeth with a brush or dental floss, if the intensity of the pain syndrome allows this procedure to be carried out. If the pain is caused by food getting into the area of ​​​​the tooth affected by caries, such manipulations will reduce or even eliminate discomfort;
4. The area where the diseased tooth is located should be placed in the cold. Heating in this case will not be an effective means of getting rid of symptoms, since the increase in blood flow caused by an increase in temperature can only increase pain. Ice or any other cold product should be wrapped in several layers of dense fabric and kept in the affected area for about 10-15 minutes. You should not abuse this method, since a long cold is not very good for the skin and can cause a cold;
5. Adults in the absence of contraindications should try the method with strong alcohol. It is necessary to take a small amount of strong, unsweetened alcohol into the mouth and hold it near the diseased tooth for several minutes or rinse the entire oral cavity. Alcohol is quickly absorbed through the mucous membranes, and also disinfects soft and bone tissues.

These methods are quite effective, but do not always help with a pronounced pain syndrome. If the pain does not go away, you should turn to other methods.

Medications

Today, there are a wide variety of medicines that help with toothache. These drugs can be both special and broad-spectrum.

The most common and fastest-acting are the following medicines:

1. Aspirin, nurofen, analgin, paracetamol- are painkillers that are taken with moderate toothache and act fairly quickly;
2. Aktasulide, influenzastad and dexalgin- these are anti-inflammatory drugs that are also effective for toothaches, however, caution is required when using them - they have a number of contraindications;
3. Ibufen, ibuklin- the answer to the question of how to reduce toothache. Drugs are taken with severe pain. They are quite potent, so it is recommended to strictly adhere to the dosage indicated in the instructions. Adults can take up to four tablets per day;
4. Ketanov, nise and actasulide- are especially potent drugs, the active ingredient of which is nimesulide. These medicines cope well with toothache, but they have contraindications and side effects, so they should be taken with caution and not exceeding the dosage indicated in the instructions for the drug.

When taking a certain drug, you should make sure that it does not cause an allergic reaction. Before taking, you should consult with a specialist.

The use of medicinal herbs

Some medicinal herbs, which are used mainly for rinsing the mouth, help to cope with the pain syndrome.

Decoctions for rinsing can be made from:

• chamomile;
• mint;
• calendula;
• sage;
• calamus root;
• eucalyptus.

To prepare the solution, it is necessary to brew one teaspoon of vegetable raw materials in a glass of boiling water, leave to cool completely and strain.

For the rinsing procedure, the solution must be at room temperature.

Folk remedies

If painful sensations appeared in nature or in conditions far from civilization, you can try to get rid of pain using folk methods that involve the use of food.

1. Garlic and pepper. If your tooth enamel is very sensitive, a mixture of garlic and pepper can help. To prepare a folk remedy, it is necessary to mix the components in a ratio of 1: 1 and dilute them with a small amount of water. The resulting homogeneous mass should be applied to the painful area and kept for about five minutes. The duration of the procedure should be several days until the pain syndrome is completely eliminated;
2. Garlic and salt. A clove of garlic must be grated on a fine grater and mixed with table salt in equal proportions. The resulting paste must be applied to the diseased tooth. Garlic can also be chewed separately. The validity period of this method is several days;
3. Potato. A small slice of potato should be applied to the affected area and held until the discomfort stops;
4. Onion. This plant is well known for its antimicrobial and disinfectant properties. In order for the pain to go away, it is necessary to chew a quarter of a small onion for some time so that it turns into gruel. To consolidate the effect, you can put a slice of onion on the aching tooth;
5. Plantain. In warm seasons, such a medicinal plant as plantain can be found almost everywhere. To treat a toothache, it is necessary to wash the plant well from impurities, chew it or grind it into gruel and place the resulting mixture on the problem area. You should not tear the plantain near the roadsides, as the plant absorbs all harmful fumes.

Although these methods are natural, they help only with a mild pain syndrome, so they should be used only if there is no more suitable remedy.

Essential oils

Essential oils have a fairly wide range of uses. They are used in the treatment of diseases associated with the respiratory tract, in cosmetology, in the production of food products. Essential oils can also be useful when signs of toothache appear.

Pain symptoms will help relieve essential oils:

• cloves;
• tea tree;
• lemon
• sage;
• mint;
• lavender;
• juniper;
• needles and others.

To use on a sore tooth, soak a cotton ball with two or three drops of essential oil and apply for a while. Essential oil will relieve inflammation and soothe pain.

It is worth choosing natural, rather than synthetic, essential oils from well-known companies that have positive reviews.

Acupressure

Acupressure and acupuncture is an ancient method of getting rid of any disease. Toothache also falls into this list.

To get rid of discomfort in the teeth, massage should be certain points:

1. The point between the thumb and forefinger. If you open these fingers on your hands, you can see a small area of ​​​​skin. A little closer to the bone near this area is a point that should be massaged.
2. A point near the jaw angles. Landmark - the sharp edges of the jaw, located under the earlobe. If you close your jaw, a little higher you can feel small nodules that need to be massaged.

Massage should be carried out with clear, but light movements, do not exert strong pressure on the points. The priority is the point on the side from which the pain in the jaw is more pronounced.

Alternative ways

There are several other methods of getting rid of discomfort in the teeth:

1. moisten a cotton pad with apple cider vinegar. Vanilla extract can be used instead of apple cider vinegar;
2. on the affected area you need to put a piece of propolis, which will relieve inflammation;
3. Dried pumpkin roots can be used to make a rinse solution. They must be poured with a glass of boiling water and insisted for an hour.

How to quickly relieve a toothache at home

Nothing compares to toothache. It can be aching, sharp, arising spontaneously.

To endure it is unbearable, and in my head there is only one thought - how to get rid of it? Let's talk about methods for eliminating such pain at home.

We will also share secrets of how to “pacify” toothache with the help of folk methods, medications and procedures.

Why and how teeth can hurt: causes of toothache

A number of reasons can lead to pain in the teeth and gums, which include:

• Increased sensitivity. It appears due to the wear of the upper layer of enamel (tooth abrasion), microcracks form in it. Sensitivity is manifested in the form of discomfort and acute pain outbreaks when cold, hot gets into the mouth.
• Pulpitis. In this disease, inflammation occurs inside the tooth, in its soft tissues, where the nerve endings are concentrated. This causes spontaneously appearing pain. Such pain can be given to the temple or ear area. In most cases, the pain syndrome appears at night.
• Caries. This is one of the first stages of tooth decay. If you do not start treatment, then the dentition will collapse, and damaged teeth will fall out. This process is accompanied by pain. Caries is characterized by pain that occurs while eating.
• Periodontitis. It is characterized by a pronounced swelling of the gums. The disease is accompanied by throbbing pain, which increases if you touch the affected area. A tooth can become loose during periodontitis.

In addition to dental problems, teeth can hurt due to the presence of concomitant pathologies:

• chronic sinusitis;
• ear diseases;
• problems with the cardiovascular system;
• neuralgia;
• migraine.

Emergency first aid for toothache: how to quickly relieve pain at home?

1. Apply an ice cube to the site of pain. This will help to “calm down” the discomfort by freezing the aching tooth.
2. Gargling with alcohol(vodka, moonshine). This is an option that can eliminate pain. Also, alcohol will serve as an excellent disinfectant for the oral cavity.
3. Ordinary fresh fat, you need to put a small cut to the aching (swollen) part of the gum or on the tooth. Such a move will make the pain syndrome less vivid.
4. Disinfect and make you feel better salt water or a solution using soda.
5. Great for pain relief rinsing with sage decoction.

Heat or cold: how to remove a toothache at home?

There are two different opinions that with pain in the dentition, exposure to heat or cold helps. Both opinions are wrong.

When exposed heat(hot water bottle, wrapping) the inflammatory process will proceed faster, which will lead to the “gathering” of the flux. Warm liquids (decoction, water) can only be rinsed.

If speak about cold, then it is he who provokes the appearance of pain, acting on dental tissues, irritating the nerve endings. Therefore, cold to eliminate pain in the teeth is ineffective.

Painkillers for severe toothache

Conventionally, all painkillers can be divided into three large groups:

1) Narcotic. Their help is resorted to in extreme cases, when the pain is unbearable, and standard medications do not give a practical effect. They are sold only by prescription, and it is impossible to buy them on the free market.

2) Not narcotic. They are taken for toothaches of varying intensity. In addition to pain relief, such drugs have an anti-inflammatory effect.

3) Antispasmodics. They are used if the pain is caused by problems with the gums, since antispasmodics are aimed at relaxing smooth muscles.

How to relieve a toothache at home with folk remedies?

If your teeth hurt, then you can turn to traditional medicine for help. Consider some effective recipes:

1. Massage the earlobes. To eliminate pain, you should massage the earlobe from the side where the localization of pain is fixed. It is necessary to carry out such actions for 10 minutes.
2. Apple vinegar. Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and apply it to the area where the pain is. Hold for three minutes.
3. Potatoes. A slice of raw potato should be chewed on the part where it hurts.
4. Potassium permanganate. Dilute potassium manganese powder in warm water until a rich pink color. Rinse your mouth until the pain subsides.
5. Garlic. Folk recipes suggest mixing garlic with salt in the same amount and applying the resulting mass to the aching tooth.
6. Kalanchoe. The method helps with inflammation of the gums. Grind the plant and wrap in gauze (bandage). Such a tampon is applied to the inflamed gums.
7. Mummy. Dilute the mummy in warm water. Moisten a cotton swab and hold for 15 minutes at the affected area. After such a lotion, you can not eat for 30 minutes.
8. plantain leaf chew, hold the resulting slurry at the site of pain for as long as possible.

List of effective medicines for relieving toothache at home

To help yourself pacify a toothache, you can resort to the use of such medicines:

1. Analgin. Use with mild manifestations of pain. Inexpensive pills are taken according to the instructions. Do not put a tablet on the tooth itself, as it provokes the destruction of enamel.
2. Aconite. It helps a lot if the pain syndrome in the dentition is provoked by colds.

How to relieve a child's toothache?

Toothache in children can appear for a variety of reasons, one of which is caries. Microcracks that appear on fragile enamel can also cause toothache in children. Giving painkillers to children is not recommended, then how to help the child?

Initially, it is necessary to check the teeth for the presence of stuck food, which can put pressure on the gums, causing pain. If one is found, then you can remove it with a toothpick, brushing your teeth or resorting to dental floss.

Such actions are carried out to alleviate the condition of the baby and are not a treatment. Therefore, if a child complains of constantly appearing toothache, be sure to make an appointment with a pediatric dentist who will identify the main root cause of the pain, prescribe appropriate therapy and talk about prevention.

Toothache in pregnant women: how to remove at home?

During the course of pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes a lot of changes that affect her teeth. They become more sensitive, begin to deteriorate, stagger and hurt. How to help yourself, because during the gestation of the fetus, the use of certain medications can be dangerous to the health of the child.

When a mild pain syndrome occurs, a pregnant woman needs to brush her teeth in order to eliminate the remnants of food stuck between them. After that, you can rinse your mouth with a decoction of herbs. Suitable for these purposes sage or chamomile flowers.

Folk remedies for the treatment of toothache

Toothache is an unpleasant thing. Almost every person who has had a toothache at least once in his life thinks about how to calm and quickly relieve a toothache.

Causes and symptoms

Pain in the tooth can appear abruptly and unexpectedly without any signs. In some cases, fever, general weakness, redness and slight swelling of the oral cavity are possible. Tooth pain is the result of various reactions occurring in the tooth or its surrounding tissues.

Causes of toothache:

• Caries;
• Pulpitis;
• Flux;
• gum disease;
• Irritation of the tooth root;
• Cracks in tooth enamel, chips.

Each of these diseases has its own symptoms. However, there are a number of common signs that indicate a problem:

• The appearance of thermal stimuli (reaction to cold air and cold water).
• Chemical irritants (reaction to sour, sweet and salty foods).
• The appearance of an unpleasant odor from the oral cavity.
• Dark spots on the surface of the tooth.
• Temperature rise.
• The pain is given to the entire jaw at once, transmitted to the temple, ear and back of the head.
• Swelling of the cheek. In addition, the wings of the nose, lips or lower eyelid may swell.
• Bleeding gums.
• The formation of pus.
• General weakness and feeling unwell.

Another symptom of gum disease is that the inflamed gum easily separates from the tooth, and food debris can easily get into it. It is they who, ultimately, cause suppuration of food and deterioration of the condition of the tooth.

For any type of toothache, it is necessary to take timely measures and start timely treatment. If this is not done, the consequences may be irreversible.

Recipes for pain with flux

Flux in the language of dentists is called periostitis. It appears when an infection penetrates into untreated teeth, causing an inflammatory process. The accumulation of pus provokes swelling of the gums and cheeks, which can cause severe swelling of the face.

This is a rather serious disease, in which you should urgently consult a doctor. But sometimes there are situations when going to a specialist causes difficulties, and you have to be treated at home, using folk methods and remedies. At home, flux can be removed in several ways.

• Bad tooth on the left? Then put an onion or a head of garlic on your right hand on the thumb near the nail, you can make a gruel. Tie carefully! If the right tooth hurts, then we do the same on the left.
• Take the pork fat. Without salt! Apply to the aching tooth so that the gums and cheek hold it.
• Moisten a piece of cotton wool with fir oil, put on a sore spot. Hold for 20 minutes. You can repeat every hour.
• With a toothache, use the ring finger to press on the gum of the diseased tooth (through the cheek). Oddly enough, the toothache subsides.
• Take a coltsfoot for a toothache, set it on fire and inhale the smoke.
• Brew sage officinalis. Rinse your mouth with a warm infusion for toothache. Keep longer at the sick place. If the infusion has cooled, spit it out and rinse again with a warm decoction.

And remember: no matter how good folk remedies are, you should always see an experienced specialist! After all, pain is not accidental!

This question torments absolutely the entire population of our planet. Perhaps no one will argue with the fact that there is nothing worse than a toothache. Moreover, it is almost impossible to withstand even a dull and aching one, and there is no need to talk about an acute one. It seems that there is no escape from her, however, this is not entirely true.

Folk treatment for toothache

• The surest way to treat toothache is to take an anesthetic pharmacological agent. The tablet should be washed down only with plain boiled water. If there is no water, then you should try to swallow it dry. However, the healing process in this case will slow down somewhat.
• If for some reason there is no access to the first-aid kit or there was no pain reliever for toothache, then folk remedies will help relieve acute toothache. For example, medical alcohol or vodka has good analgesic properties. A sick tooth can be rinsed with this remedy or a gauze swab dipped in vodka can be applied to it. However, remember that alcohol has a damaging effect on tooth enamel.
• A slightly less effective alternative remedy for toothache, but, however, bringing temporary relief, is pickled cucumber. A piece of pickled cucumber pulp is placed on the suffering tooth.
• Sometimes acute pain in the tooth begins from the fact that a piece of food falls into the cavity of a tooth destroyed by caries. In this case, the usual cleaning of the cavity with the same toothbrush or at least a toothpick will bring significant relief.
• A good analgesic folk treatment for toothache is a decoction of sage herb. Take a strong infusion of this herb in your mouth and keep it on the affected side.
• If trouble caught you on a hike from where it is very far to the nearest dental clinic, folk treatment of toothache can be done with the help of plantain. To do this, find a plantain, dig out its root, wash it thoroughly from the ground and put it on a bad tooth. After a maximum of 30 minutes, the pain will disappear.
• Take a clove of garlic for a toothache. Finely chop, wrap in a clean piece of gauze and tie to the wrist of the hand that is on the side of the diseased tooth.
• And don't delay, don't delay. All this is only temporary relief. Therefore, as soon as the opportunity arises, be sure to immediately go to the dentist.

Let's make a reservation right away that all of the above effective folk remedies for toothache are good for temporary pain relief, since only a dentist can cure it.

Treatment of acute toothache

The correct answer is before it occurs. However, a typical dentist patient is a person who has literally been driven into the dentist's chair by a toothache. This article brings to your attention several effective ways of folk treatment of toothache and pain relief until you can be examined by a specialist.

Acute toothache is the cry for help that your bad tooth gives you. Try not to irritate him unless absolutely necessary, otherwise the pain may return at any moment. Caries, inflammation of the pulp, periodontitis are all causes of toothache that only a dentist can eliminate.

Everyone probably knows about the discomfort experienced with toothaches. Aching, cutting pain, with a gradual swelling of the face - a sign of the onset of dental disease.

If you do not seek medical help in time, you can start the inflammatory process and start the development of a number of unpleasant diseases.

The main causes of toothache

The main cause of toothache is a damaged tooth nerve. The sensory nerve painfully reacts not only to all external factors, such as the temperature of food, but also to the process of inflammation or the presence of infection.
The most common types of tooth pain are:

1. Pain after tooth extraction. In this case, toothache is the norm for two to three days. This is due to the fact that after extraction, an open wound remains in place of the tooth, which should gradually heal. In such cases, experts recommend not touching the sore spot with food, tongue, etc. If the pain does not subside after a few days, it is recommended to consult a doctor for advice.
2. Pain due to caries disease. Toothache in this case occurs when the treatment process has begun in the last stages, or has not occurred at all. If caries is not eliminated in time, it can reach the nerve of the tooth. To prevent the development of caries at its first signs, it is necessary to visit a dentist.
3. due to periodontal disease. Periodontitis is a strong inflammatory process in the soft tissues that surround the tooth. In addition to pain in the tooth, bleeding gums will be a sign of this disease. This problem cannot be solved at home, it can be cured only after visiting a doctor and undergoing proper treatment.
4. Badly filled tooth. Basically, a tooth is filled due to the presence of a disease. In the case when the filling was not done properly, the disease in the middle of the tooth continues to develop and gradually gets to the nerve, which entails severe pain. To eliminate this problem, it is recommended to remove the seal, clean the damaged areas and re-fill.

Let's look at how to relieve a toothache at home. If you have a toothache, you urgently need to make an appointment with a doctor to diagnose the problem and indicate methods of treating it. However, there are cases when a toothache is taken by surprise, and it is not possible to turn to professionals for help right away.

I propose to consider the main options for preparing solutions or decoctions designed to eliminate toothache at home:

1. The first option for reducing toothache may be rinsing with baking soda. Baking soda is well known for its antibacterial properties, and it also makes the tissue softer, so the pain subsides a bit. To prepare a solution for rinsing from baking soda, you will need three hundred milliliters of boiled warm water and a teaspoon of soda. The ingredients must be thoroughly mixed, and you can start rinsing.
2. To stop the pain in the tooth, you can use hydrogen peroxide, which is available in every home. To prepare a solution, take ordinary water and peroxide and mix the ingredients in a ratio of one to two (for example, 100 grams of water goes to 50 grams of peroxide). Peroxide is aimed at relieving the inflammatory process, which in many cases serves as an impetus for toothache.
3. The following components, designed to relieve toothache, may be garlic and salt. You can prepare a decoction for rinsing from them, or you can use it as a compress, which is more effective in the fight against pain. The recipe for making a decoction is very simple. Throw the grated garlic into the water and boil for about five minutes, then add salt and leave to cool. To create a compress, you need to take ordinary gauze, on which put a pre-prepared mixture of carefully crushed garlic and salt. The resulting compress must be applied to the affected area. Garlic is famous not only for its antibacterial properties, but also helps to soothe pain.
4. A solution of onion skins. Here you will need about three tablespoons of onion peel and five hundred milliliters of water. Pour boiling water over the husk, put on the stove and bring to a boil. It takes about ten minutes to cook. After that, you should strain the resulting broth and leave it to infuse (about eight hours), after which you can start rinsing. Onion peel is used not only to reduce toothache, but also as an excellent prophylactic in the fight against caries.
5. You can use clove oil, which is sold in pharmacies. To reduce pain, it is necessary to drop a few drops of this oil on a cotton swab and gently apply it to the sore spot.
6. The use of alcohol. Probably everyone knows about the antiseptic properties of alcohol. Alcohol for this method is suitable in the form of vodka or skate. It is necessary to take a small amount of the drink into your mouth and hold it for a while on the problem area. Then the drink should be spit out. This method is very effective against severe, sharp pain, since the alcohol contained in alcohol contributes to the numbness of the affected area and relieves pain.
7. If the use of alcohol to relieve severe pain is not suitable for you, it can be replaced with ordinary iodine, which will give the same effect and bring relief to the pain. Put a few drops of iodine on a cotton pad and simply apply it to the problem area.
8. Herbal decoction of sage. To prepare such a decoction, you need dry sage grass and 200 milliliters of boiling water. Pour boiling water over the crushed grass, then it is recommended to cover the container with the broth with something and leave to infuse. When the broth has cooled, you can start rinsing. Rinse for about fifteen minutes. The procedure can be repeated until the pain subsides.
   For this type of decoction, you can also use chamomile, oak bark, lemon balm and other herbs.
9. To prepare a decoction for rinsing, you can use several types of dry herbs at once. So, for example, you can take dry oak bark grass (four tablespoons), celandine grass (three tablespoons), sage (four tablespoons) and pour the herbal collection presented with 0.5 liters of boiling water. Send the mixed herbs with water to the fire and cook for about five minutes, then strain and let this broth cool. Rinsing can be done five times a day. In addition, in the intervals between rinses, you can moisten cotton with this infusion and apply to the problem area. This will help you quickly reduce the level of bacteria, the level of inflammation and pain.
10. For rinsing, take rosemary and sage. To prepare the solution, you will need two hundred milliliters of red wine, one teaspoon of honey, and one teaspoon of dry rosemary and sage herbs. We mix the grass and add red wine to it, after which we put the resulting mixture on a small fire, bring to a boil, and boil for about three minutes. After that, we filter the solution, cool a little and add honey. Rinse two or three times a day. This tool not only helps to quickly relieve pain, but is also popular for the prevention of all kinds of gum disease, it helps to strengthen teeth in general.
11. Kalanchoe. This plant is great for bacteria and pain. All you have to do is cut off one leaf of Kalanchoe, crush it a little (so that the juice stands out more actively) and attach it to the sore spot.
12. Tincture based on birch buds. The recipe is very simple, you only need fifty grams of kidneys and half a liter of water. Pre-prepared kidneys are poured with water and left in a dark, cool place for ten days. After the tincture is filtered. When everything is ready, it is necessary to moisten a small piece of cotton wool with this solution and attach it to the sore spot. This will quickly help eliminate toothache.
13. A decoction based on aspen shavings. Aspen shavings (about one tablespoon) pour boiling water (200 milliliters) and put on fire, cook for about twenty minutes. Further, as in the previous methods, the broth must be filtered, cooled and rinsed.
14. Chamomile and cloves. A very easy method, for which you need to purchase chamomile oil and clove oil in a pharmacy. Soak cotton wool in the resulting mixture of oils and apply to the sore spot. This method is good for relieving toothache.

So that external irritants do not interfere with the process, after taking any of the presented methods of traditional medicine decoctions, food, various drinks, and especially nicotine, are contraindicated.

When using the presented methods as a preventive measure, it is recommended to use them twice a day, namely in the morning and in the evening (after eating).

Pharmaceutical remedies for toothache

If home remedies have not helped with severe pain, you can use drugs whose action is aimed at eliminating certain pain sensations.

These are Ketanov, Nurofen, Ibuprofen and others. You can also use Analgin or Spasmalgon, but these drugs have a weaker effect.

Use Lidocaine by soaking cotton with this drug and applying it to the sore spot. Everyone knows that Lidocaine is used for local anesthesia, so when applied to a problem area or tooth, freezing it, you will get rid of the pain.

However, do not forget that many people are allergic to this drug.

If you are pregnant or have allergic reactions, purchase tooth drops at the pharmacy, which include mint oil, camphor, valerian. A cotton pad, wetted with drops, is applied to a sore spot and left there for ten minutes. You need to change discs until the pain is completely gone.

Prevention of toothache

The main way to prevent the occurrence of toothache, and hence various dental diseases, is high-quality oral care, namely:

• Teeth brushing should ideally be done after every meal, or at least twice a day.
• do not neglect auxiliary means of protecting the oral cavity, such as rinses or various antibacterial agents;
• Use dental floss or toothpicks after every meal. This will help reduce the level of bacterial growth;
• get rid of bad habits. Smoking, coffee, strong tea and other habits adversely affect the condition of your teeth;
• try to visit the dentist at least twice a year, this will help you notice the onset of a particular oral disease in time and, accordingly, begin prompt treatment. The sooner you start the treatment process, the faster and easier it will be.

After reading this article, you have learned how to soothe a toothache at home when there is no way to contact a specialist.

However, do not forget that the temporary absence of pain in the tooth is by no means a solved problem. Therefore, as soon as possible, you should consult a doctor in order to determine the cause and undergo proper treatment.

If a toothache caught you at work, at night or on a holiday, we will tell you how to relieve this symptom and comfortably wait for an appointment with the dentist by choosing the appropriate drug for severe or moderate dentalgia.

But do not forget that dentistry is a field of medicine where pharmacological treatment is practically not used. And there is only one cure for toothache - the elimination of the source of infection in the diseased tooth by surgery, followed by its restoration with artificial materials.

Painkillers: the opinion of dentists

Dentists are not particularly fond of painkillers: when conducting a simple dental procedure, they suggest doing without it and, if possible, use methods of dental treatment without a drill.

This is due to the pharmacodynamics of analgesics. By inhibiting the production of "pain enzymes", prostaglandins at the site of inflammation, analgesics simultaneously affect other organs and systems of our body, which leads to side effects:

• violation of water-salt metabolism, due to which excess fluid accumulates in the body;
• jumps in blood pressure;
• change in the threshold of pain sensitivity;
• dehydration of the mucous membranes of the eyes, deterioration of vision;
• increased risk of blood clots, bleeding disorders.

For this reason, we recommend starting the fight against toothache with rinsing with a solution of salt or soda (1 tsp per glass of warm water), and only then start taking the tablets.

Tablets for mild to moderate dentalgia

Taking a loading dose of an analgesic reduces the threshold of pain sensitivity: for example, during the next attack, the painkiller may be ineffective, and the anesthetic injection may not work.

In order not to harm yourself before the inevitable trip to the dentist, it is advisable to limit yourself to taking one of the drugs for mild to moderate toothache. They will help relieve an attack in chronic pulpitis, gum disease and caries.

Paracetamol

Inexpensive, safe and effective pain reliever, non-narcotic analgesic.

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) blocks pain receptors at the level of the nervous system and does not affect pain centers in the brain. This means that it does not have a side effect characteristic of mega-powerful painkillers - it does not depress breathing and does not affect the functioning of the heart.

A tablet of paracetamol will relieve you of aching pain in the tooth with medium and deep caries.

Ibuprofen

Analogues: Nurofen, Imet

Tablets from dentalgia from the group of NSAIDs - non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition to analgesic, they also have an anti-inflammatory effect. Ibuprofen will help with toothache, accompanied by hyperthermia and inflammation of the periodontal tissues.

Aching pain will be relieved by one tablet with 200 mg of the active ingredient, ibuprofen. If necessary, the dose is increased to 400 mg, but not more than 800 mg per day.

Citramon

Analogues: Askofen, Excedrin

The pill "from the head", which can be found in every first aid kit, will help with toothache too!

Citramon contains paracetamol and aspirin, mutually reinforcing the analgesic effect of each other, plus caffeine, which will tone the vessels and relieve drowsiness - a side effect of analgesics.

With dentalgia, it is recommended to take 2 tablets of Citramon at once. But this drug is strictly forbidden to be combined with alcohol and alcohol-containing tinctures: even a few grams of alcohol with Citramon, Askofen or Excedrin can provoke gastric bleeding.

Aspirin

One of the most popular painkillers in everyday life: according to studies, about 80 billion aspirin tablets are consumed annually in the world!

Acetylsalicylic acid, unlike other NSAIDs, acts on the very problematic area in the tooth, focally - reduces the severity of inflammation and relieves pain. Her pills will relieve unpleasant symptoms in case of pulpitis, inflammation of the neurovascular bundle of the tooth.

A combination of two analgesics at once - paracetamol and diclofenac, which enhances the analgesic effect. Fanigan, among other things, also has a decongestant effect: it unloads collagen and fibrin fibers, which swell during inflammation.

Fanigan tablet can be taken with dentalgia, accompanied by swelling of the soft tissues of the face, as well as with an increase in lymph nodes and sore throat caused by the eruption of the 8th wisdom tooth.

Analgesic tablets are made on the basis of acids, and most of them irritate the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, before taking an anesthetic, it is advisable to eat something, if the tooth hurts a lot - “put” at least yogurt on the bottom of the stomach.

Extra remedies for severe toothache

Heavy artillery of painkillers - tablets Ketanov, Nimesulide, Tempalgin and Flamidez, should be used only in extreme cases, when the toothache is really unbearable. For example, with acute pulpitis and periodontitis, inflammation of the trigeminal nerve - diseases that are characterized by bouts of pulsating, severe dentalgia at night.

Ketanov

Analogues: Ketorol, Dolac, Ketalgin, Toradol

One of the strongest painkillers, ketorolac (the active substance of Ketan tablets) is used in the postoperative period, with injuries and severe toothache caused by periodontitis, pericoronitis or pulpitis.

Like other NSAIDs, ketorolac blocks the production of pain enzymes - prostaglandins, but slows down the kidneys. Less blood is filtered and more harmful substances accumulate in the body, so people with kidney failure should not take Ketanov.

A single dose of the drug - 1 tablet of 10 mg, with severe pain, take every 4-6 hours, but not more than 90 mg, 9 tablets per day.

Tempalgin

Analogues: Analgin, Baralgin

The active substance of the "green tablets" - metamizole sodium, has a strong analgesic and weak anti-inflammatory effect.

Tempalgin also contains a tranquilizer - a sedative tempidon, which will help you relax and fall asleep after a debilitating attack of toothache at night.

By the way, metamizole sodium does not irritate the gastric mucosa and does not affect the water-salt metabolism in the body. Therefore, it is suitable for the elderly and patients prone to gastrointestinal disorders.

Flamidez

A combined drug from the NSAID group, consists of the analgesics diclofenac and paracetamol, as well as a decongestant - serratiopeptidase.

Flamidez has a powerful analgesic, anti-inflammatory effect, helps relieve swelling. Flamidez tablets are prescribed by dentists to relieve pain after tooth extraction, in the complex therapy of alveolar abscesses, purulent inflammation in the root periosteum.

Dosage - 1 tablet twice or thrice a day.

Analogues: Nise, Nimid

Synthetic drug from the group of NSAIDs with strong analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties.

Nimesulide tablet can be drunk in case of acute pain, with a night attack of dentalgia, after tooth extraction and radiating pain with inflammation of the trigeminal nerve.

The drug does not have a toxic effect with prolonged use, it is often prescribed to the elderly. The exception is patients with heart failure, bronchial asthma and liver disease - they should not take Nimesulide.

All strong analgesics are prohibited for children under the age of 14, pregnant and lactating women.

It is impossible to experiment and combine the intake of several drugs per day - for example, Aspirin tablets, and after 4 hours Ketanov, according to the principle "which is more effective" is impossible! This can cause hepatic coma and disruption of the kidneys.

Prices

If the budget for “symptomatic therapy” is running out, take pills from the “list of essential and vital medicines of the Russian Federation”: Paracetamol (about 40 rubles), Ibuprofen (38 rubles), Acetylsalicylic acid (from 20 rubles) or Ketorolac (26 rubles).

Drugs from foreign manufacturers will cost more: Nise - from 200 rubles, Aspirin Cardio - from 80 rubles, Tempalgin - 130 rubles, Ketanov - about 60 rubles, Nurofen - 90 rubles.

All drugs have contraindications. Before use, carefully read the instructions and consult a doctor.

An analgesic will relieve you of a toothache for several hours, but will not eliminate its cause. Only a good dentist can do this. We recommend that you contact him in order to avoid the repetition of even more severe attacks of dentalgia.
