What is good for toothache

Toothache can be caused by tooth decay, a broken tooth or the birth of a wisdom tooth, so it is very important to see a dentist in the face of a toothache to identify the cause and start treatment which may include only cleaning the tooth or, in other cases, extraction or root canal treatment.

However, while waiting to go to the dentist, try these 4 tips to reduce toothache, which include:

1. Sucking ice cubes

Ice helps to reduce swelling and inflammation, relieving pain. The ice should be placed on the sore tooth or next to the cheek, but protected with a cloth so as not to burn, for 15-minute intervals, at least 3 or 4 times a day.

2. Use clove oil

Clove oil has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic action, helping to relieve pain and inflammation, as well as helping to prevent infection. Simply place 2 drops of the oil directly on the tooth or on a piece of cotton or cotton swab. Learn more at: Clove oil for toothache.

3. Make mouthwashes with apple and propolis tea

Macela tea with propolis has anesthetic and antiseptic action, helping to reduce toothache and clean the area. To make the mouthwash, add 5 g of apple leaves in 1 cup of boiling water, let stand for about 10 minutes, strain and add 5 drops of propolis while it is still warm. Then you should rinse with this tea twice a day.

4. Give preference to cold foods

A liquefied and cold soup, sugar-free gelatin, a fruit smoothie or plain yogurt are some options. Cold and liquid foods, because they do not involve chewing or high temperatures, help to relieve pain or not to make it worse.

In addition to these tips and if the pain is very severe, you can take an analgesic and anti-inflammatory medicine like Paracetamol, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, for example. However, even if the pain improves with the medication, it is important to see the dentist.
