Cause of pain
The reasons for which the tooth can get sick, a lot, so it is difficult to determine the source of troubles independently. The tooth can become ill both because of inflammatory processes in bone tissues and gums, and because of damage to the jaw tissue. Most often, the cause of trouble becomes caries, which inflames the pulp or nerve. As a rule, the affected tooth responds to cold and hot food.
Often with prolonged pain, other symptoms of inflammation appear - swelling of the lips, gums or cheeks, headache, weakness, fever rises.
Emergency help
If a toothache has caught you at an inopportune time, then you need to alleviate your condition in any way. First of all, it is the taking of pain medications such as analgin, baralgin, ketans, nurofen. They not only relieve pain, but also relieve inflammation. Nevertheless, the taking of these drugs in no case can not be considered a cure. Even if after a single medication the pain is gone and does not return within 24 hours, it is necessary to visit the dentist, otherwise the inflammatory processes in the tooth will be hidden and can lead to various unpleasant consequences.
In addition, you need to brush your teeth and, before taking the doctor, give up food, especially if there is a marked hole in the affected tooth. If pieces of food fall into it, it will cause another bout of pain. In order to disinfect the oral cavity, dentists recommend rinsing the mouth with a solution of soda and salt.
Dental pain can be suppressed and propolis. To do this, you need to drop a few drops of this drug onto the cotton wool, then attach it to the sick tooth. As a rule, the pain passes in 15-30 minutes. But you need to be careful - an excess of propolis can damage the mucous membrane.
Help with lactation pregnancy
It is known that pregnant and lactating women are not recommended the use of strong analgesics, so with toothache have to fight in other ways. With severe pain, let us take a single dose of paracetamol, but it relieves the pain to an insignificant degree, so it is recommended to call a doctor as soon as possible.
An alternative to this may be rinsing with a solution of furacilin or 3% hydrogen peroxide. Many people use national means. For example, you can reduce the pain by tying several cloves of garlic to your wrist. Tie the garlic to the hand from which the tooth hurts. Help and rinse with a decoction of sage or applying to a sick tooth fleece with drops "Denta". But all this brings only a short-term relief.
Many people delay the treatment of the doctor, because they are afraid of even greater pain when treating or removing the tooth. But modern drugs allow you to carry out all the procedures almost painlessly. Doctors use local anesthesia with lidocaine and ultracaine, they are acceptable for use even during pregnancy and lactation. Therefore, even the removal of the tooth, not to mention the treatment, will occur without pain and discomfort. It should be remembered that the sooner you consult a doctor, the less will be the consequences and easier treatment. In general, a preventive examination of the condition of the teeth and gums should be done at least once every six months. This will help avoid acute toothache and eliminate possible problems at the very beginning.
