Few months ago i have this unbearable pain in tooth, it is impossible to ignore. It starts out as a tiny twinge. Then it escalates to a dull ache that comes and goes. Before long, it becomes a sharp pain that won't stop.
It was then the kind of pain that is severe and constant and it wakes me up during the night and eventually swelling to the point that i could hardly open my mouth to eat.
We call the doctor but i have to set an appointment to see them and i was so miserable! i have to wait for a week!!! i couldn't bare the pain anymore that even ibuprofen can't help ease the pain so i was reading and searching for any at home remedies to help and here's what i learned:
Clove it - An Ancient and effective home remedy for toothaches, oil of cloves applied to an aching tooth, can immediately numb the pain. Oil of cloves is available over the counter in pharmacies and health-food stores. Follow the direction on the package and apply the oil directly to the tooth, not on the gums for it can burn tender gum tissues.
Compress the swelling - Many times toothaches, especially those cause by abscesses, are accompanied by swelling. You can decrease the swelling by placing a cold compress on the outside of your cheek near the painful tooth.
Cool it - Ice is excellent for calming pain-excited nerve endings. For a painful tooth, try holding an ice cube or cold water in your mouth. If it aggravates the pain, discontinue it.
Elevate it - When the pain in your teeth is pounding, keep your head upright to decrease the pressure in the area.
Nix the Aspirin - Placing an aspirin directly on an achy tooth is an old home remedy that can make your situation worse. Aspirin doesn't work topically and can burn your gums or cheek tissue. If you want an aspirin remedy, swallow it with a glass of water.
Try warm water - You can never rinse away a dental problem, but rinsing with warm water can help remove any food particles that may be trapped and causing problems. To soothe inflamed tissues, try rinsing with mild saline solution (one teaspoon of salt in eight ounces of water.
Surely it does help me ease the pain although i was sure that my tooth problem has gone away so i still see my doctor, it was my wisdom tooth that grows but my gums doesn't have a place for anymore teeth so it was compressed and did not came out that i can't brush it so it has cavities on it too and since there's no place for a new teeth they have to extract my tooth so the problem will be gone.
Hence, recommend to see your dentist regularly for professional care, much tooth pain can be prevented by a combination of regular home dental hygiene such as flossing and brushing, professional care and eating a diet low in sugar.
