There they saw old people of 80-90 years old with preserved healthy teeth from nature. Their secret turned out to be that the Moldovans of that time had practically nothing but their national dish of hominy (corn cakes).

How to get rid of toothache at home: video

Today we looked at how to get rid of a toothache at home. The video below contains some interesting practical tips.

Two facts are pushing the discussion of the eternal topic “how to relieve toothache at home”: exorbitant, sometimes terrifying, dislike for dentists and the unbearable nature of toothache. And in such cases, the main thing is not to overdo it: neither with painkillers, nor with home remedies.

After all, the main cause of toothache is pulpitis (inflammation of the neurovascular plexus with deep caries). In such a situation, the anesthetic should have a quick, strong enough effect and not have serious negative consequences.

Toothache medicines - pros and cons

Which pills to choose and how to drink for toothache

The easiest way is to take a pain pill. Consider the most effective drugs that eliminate toothache:

• Novocaine, Lidocaine

These drugs, used for local anesthesia, can be used when toothache occurs. The liquid from the opened ampoule is poured onto a cotton swab and applied to the diseased tooth. At the same time, Lidocaine gives a more pronounced analgesic effect. When using these funds, possible intolerance should be taken into account: do not get carried away if sensitivity tests to each of the drugs have not been previously conducted.

The analgesic effect does not last as long, and repeated use can affect the heart (especially in the elderly and heart patients).

• Analgin, Tempalgin

Widely used since Soviet times, Analgin has its pros and cons. The medicine is cheap, but most often it is not possible to cope with severe pain. In addition, a lot of side effects forced many countries of the world to abandon it. Therefore, the use of analgin for toothache at home is advisable only in the absence of other drugs. In addition, the drug applied to the tooth actively destroys the enamel.

It is best to replace the drug with Tempalgin: it contains the same metamizole, but the analgesic effect is longer. The combined drugs Maksigan, Baralgin, Trigan, Spazgan have a more pronounced antispasmodic effect (used for colic in the abdomen, spasms of the bladder, etc.). Their use for toothache is doubtful, but in the absence of other means, these tablets can also be taken.

• Aspirin

Aspirin tablets, beloved by Americans, will help relieve toothache. However, this drug belongs to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and therefore has a strong irritant effect on the stomach.

Aspirin should be taken only after meals, effervescent tablets work faster. It is not worth getting carried away with this remedy - swallowing one pill after another: the negative consequences of its use in the form of pain in the stomach are almost guaranteed.

• Ibuprofen

The drug, also belonging to the group of NSAIDs, has many more expensive analogues - Nurofen, Mig-400, Faspik, Bolinet. The analgesic effect occurs 15 minutes after taking a dose of 400 mg, however, with severe pain, up to 4 tablets of Ibuprofen (800 mg) can be taken immediately. For a day you can take no more than 2400 mg!

Ibuprofen, of course, will help you survive to the dentist, but its regular use is fraught with negative consequences. In addition, this drug for people after 40 years is recommended only in a single dosage and is contraindicated in hypertensive patients.

• Diclofenac

Everyone knows about the use of Diclofenac for sciatica and joint pain. However, this remedy can also relieve toothache. Only in this case it is better to use combined preparations, which also include paracetamol, which enhances the effect of the main substance - Dolaren, Panoxen. The mass of side effects, as with all NSAIDs, somewhat limits the duration of use and clarifies the range of contraindications (gastric ulcer, internal bleeding, severe hypertension, etc.).

• Ketorolac

One of the NSAIDs, which has the most pronounced analgesic effect. More expensive preparations based on Ketorolac: Ketanov, Ketorol, Toradol, 3 tablets are allowed per day. For a quick onset of the effect, the tablet must be washed down with plenty of water.

• Nimesulide

A potent NSAID drug, the analgesic effect lasts up to 8 hours. The usual dose is 100 mg twice a day, the maximum is 400 mg. Trade names - Nimesulide (cheapest), Nimesil, Sigan, Nise, Kokstral.

• Dexalgin

Highly effective pain reliever. Contraindications and a list of negative effects due to the fact that Dexalgin belongs to the NSAID group. You can take 1/2 tab. every 4 hours or a whole every 8 hours.

Maximum per day, you can use no more than 3 tab. (75 mg). Use with caution in smokers, diabetics, people over 65 years of age, patients with cardiac ischemia. Contraindicated under 18 years of age.

• Naproxen

To relieve toothache, preparations containing naproxen sodium salt are more suitable: the analgesic effect occurs faster. It is used in 1-1.5 tab. at a dose of 500 mg twice a day, the maximum dosage per day is 3 tab.

However, even to relieve intense pain in the tooth, 1 tab is usually enough. in a day. Allowed for children from 1 year in accordance with age dosages. Other trade names are Aksen Fort, Nalgezin.

What to do if there are no drugs at hand?

There are times when there is no pharmacy or elementary tablets such as Analgin and Aspirin at hand. In such cases, you can only rely on improvised home remedies. How to relieve toothache without pills at home? This can help you:

1. Ice applied through the tissue to the cheek on the affected side will ease the pain somewhat. Ice should only be kept for a few minutes.
2. Rinse - fill your mouth with water and hold on the affected side. Water should not be too cold, the best option is room temperature. When the water warms up in your mouth, spit it out and collect a new portion. This measure will give only some relief, while helping to wash out food debris from the carious cavity, which can provoke pain. The best effect will be achieved if half a teaspoon is dissolved in a glass of water. salt. Gargling with chamomile, a strong infusion of sage, eucalyptus, mint will alleviate the situation if the pain in the tooth is not so intense and is associated with inflammation of the gums or increased sensitivity of the enamel.
3. Gargling with alcohol will give a slight local anesthetic. You can not apply alcohol on a cotton swab to a sore tooth and swallow each serving of alcohol when rinsing. Alcohol is used only strong and not sweet - vodka, cognac.
4. Cloves are the most acceptable home remedy. In the best case, use clove oil: rub into a sore spot or dissolve 5-6 drops in a glass of water and rinse. Can be powdered 2 pcs. cloves, mixed with any vegetable oil and applied to the tooth.
5. Plantain will help relieve toothache in field conditions. You should carefully chew the leaf and move the gruel to the aching tooth. Washed and crushed plantain root can relieve toothache after 30 minutes.
6. Propolis - rinse your mouth with propolis tincture diluted with water. A piece of propolis applied to a tooth will only cause a burn.
7. Impact on special points. Massaging on the hand from the side of the lesion of the interdigital space between the thumb and forefinger will help to alleviate and even eliminate pain. An ice cube can also be applied to this place. Another point, pressure on which will help get rid of pain in the tooth, is the nasolabial fold (press with a nail until it becomes sore if the front teeth hurt), the connection of the cheekbone and lower jaw on the side of the lesion, the skin at the edge of the nail plate on the index finger (pressing with the nail until pain).

What can not be done when a tooth hurts?

When dealing with toothache, the main thing is not to overdo it. Some measures can only increase the pain syndrome or cause irreparable harm to the body.

• Uncontrolled use of painkillers, especially the use of various drugs from the NSAID group, significantly increases the risk of side effects: from stomach pain to increased pressure and bleeding. When using painkillers, be sure to follow the instructions: age doses, contraindications, etc.
• Applying garlic, onions, apple cider vinegar tampons will only cause a mucosal burn. Such aggressive methods can only increase the pain, so choose folk remedies for toothache carefully.
• Hot water will expand the capillaries and only increase the pain. Also, you can not use heating pads, wrap your cheek with a scarf.
• You can't clench your jaw. Too much pressure makes the pain worse. Inhalation of air can also intensify pain, especially in winter.
• Antibiotics must be prescribed by a doctor. Only the doctor will determine the need for antibiotic therapy, select the drug, select the appropriate dose and duration of the course.

What to do in special cases, because everyone wants to get rid of pain and quickly?

• First, if pain permits, you should brush your teeth, or at least carefully remove food debris from the hole in the tooth with a toothpick. With a slight caries, these measures can already eliminate the pain.
• A toothache from hot is a sign of enamel sensitivity. In this case, use toothpastes with fluoride. However, a trip to the dentist should not be postponed: he will not carry out any painful procedures (a procedure for removing tartar is possible), but he will prescribe procedures that strengthen tooth enamel and suppress its sensitivity.
• A pregnant woman has a toothache - taking pills without medical prescription, especially up to 12 weeks, is fraught with the most deplorable consequences: from the threat of miscarriage to fetal abnormalities. Let's take Paracetamol, in extreme cases - a single use of an anesthetic in the minimum dose.
• How long does pain last after wisdom tooth extraction? If the removal of the wisdom tooth was simple, then the pain disappears in a day. In the case of a gum incision and removal in pieces, the pain from the wisdom tooth lasts 3-5 days, a maximum of a week. However, if the pain gradually increases, the temperature rises, the hole bleeds, you should urgently consult a dentist.

Why should you go to the doctor? Maybe let it hurt?

Pain relief is only a temporary measure. The appearance of pain indicates a pathological process (caries, pulpitis, paradontosis, trivial trauma, etc.). Without proper treatment, the disease will only get worse, and the pain most often becomes more intense. In addition, the formation of a cyst or suppuration of the periodontal tissues is not excluded.

The appearance of complications requires more radical treatment, which is often accompanied by tooth extraction. Do not be afraid of dental offices: modern technologies make it possible to treat a damaged tooth in one procedure, while the patient does not feel pain at all.
