Toothache is one of the most unpleasant. Cope with it is not easy, and sometimes even pharmaceuticals do not help. They reduce pain, but do not remove it completely. And sometimes the pharmacy does not reach, and then you have to look for other ways. If the tooth is aching, folk self-medication will help not only to relieve the pain, but also to postpone the treatment.
What causes pain?
The reasons for toothache are weight. But the main ones are a carious hole, a pulpitis, a bleeding gum (gum) or problems with a crown. Sometimes food remains uncovered in the filling hole or around the pin.
At the same time there are no guarantees that it will be immediately possible to see a doctor, as well as get qualified help.
A story from life
I was caught in pain in the country. Three immediately hurt teeth "in the neighborhood." Naturally, I quickly gathered, begged my neighbor to take me to the city. And since the time was - Sunday evening, then I had to go to the duty. Even in paid I was sent on Monday or even said that the next few days all the doctors have already been painted.
So, I came to the city, waiting for help. Tortured in the queue with the same suffering, I got to see a doctor. He, having examined the cavity of his mouth, concluded: "Pulpit." I asked him what he intended to do with it.
But three teeth ached at once, and the "good" doctor (who was also tipsy) asked: "Girl, who will we open?" All three or in turn, until we get to the right? Maybe wait a bit? "
So, I got the wise advice - to wait until any of the three will get even worse, and left with nothing. And at the dacha I put on garlic for a half hour on the pulse.
Since then, I have not been in dental clinics for two years. Everything was fine. And then ... one of the three "scabs" all the same collapsed. But now I know that people's recipes are for the time being, and the tooth will have to be cured one day ...
If the pain caught right at work, but the project should be completed urgently, or "twisted" at night, and "Ketorol" is not at hand, acute toothache can be made to subside. There are a lot of means for this.
Recipes that work
If the tooth hurts, folk self-treatment with garlic fits best. There are several ways to use it: put on a sick tooth and press, hold the cheek next to the tooth or even ... attach to the pulse on the wrist! The mechanism of action of the last recipe has not been studied, but it is likely that painful odorous substances, which enter the blood and saturate the body, help with pain.
It is best, of course, immediately go to the dental clinic. Do not postpone the "pleasure" for later, stretching right now long hours of painful pain. But take temporary measures - because the pain has fulfilled its purpose, warned us about the problem.
Very strong toothache helps to remove and other techniques - from rinsing with sage (effective for problems with a gum or a hole in food) to analgin. By the way, this "magic pill" of pain, which is found in the handbag of any self-respecting woman, you need not just swallow and drink with water. Even dentists recommend putting it on the tooth.
And when the tooth is aching, people's self-medication should not be feared. Add on the analgin or even a piece of cotton wool a couple drops of iodine - in this amount, it is almost harmless to the body. Iodine, which few people carry with them, can successfully replace the balm type "Star". In addition, if there was no cotton wool at hand, it's the easiest way to carefully listen to the sensations of rubbing the gum at the tooth with the "Asterisk".
Strange recipes
Other recipes of traditional medicine are less clear, but you too can try them. For example, the treatment of toothache includes the use of fat, propolis, tincture of calamus and other means. Propolis, by the way, can really be put in the tooth, but first of all you need to think whether you need a result - the scorched roots of the tooth. If the tooth is removed and the canals have not been cleared, this method may be appropriate for you to get rid of the pain.
Salo is recommended to use fresh, unsalted. It is supposed to be applied to the gum and hold. But honestly, this advice is more like trying in ancient times in a poor peasant family to get a little fat ... Also they say that the tooth "lights up" - it is enough to smoke, even if you are a non-smoker, and the pain will subside. And yet this method can also be attributed to those that should be used only as a last resort - if the remaining tips do not help.
Other folk self-treatment, if the tooth is aching, is notable for its extreme nature. For example, a well-known advice on tooth treatment is the use of onions. But it is not applied, like garlic, but ... cut. Finely chopped onion-turnip is recommended to wrap in a handkerchief and lay in the opposite direction from the aching side. That is, for the tooth on the right side - in the left ear, and vice versa. What will happen to the ear itself remains questionable.
Among the original manias, perhaps, can be attributed and the next tip. After all, who else, but not the person who has a toothache, will come to mind to poke in your ear ... the root of the plantain! Therefore, do not forget about common sense when you are overtaken by this severe pain. Think three times before you take advantage of even the most innocuous advice. In the polyclinic, at least for your health, doctors are responsible, and an accident - anaphylactic shock from a medicine - can become fatal. Or you will be very ashamed to contact an otolaryngologist (LOR) with a tooth swelling from the treatment - the ear. Be objective and attentive to your health.
