HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR TOOTHACHE
Toothache, also known as dental pain, is pain in the teeth and/or their supporting structures, caused by dental diseases or pain
referred to the teeth by non-dental diseases.
Tooth decay is the primary cause
of toothaches for most children and adults. Bacteria that live in your mouth
thrive on the sugars and starches in the food you eat. These bacteria form a
sticky plaque that clings to the surface of your teeth.
Acids
produced by the bacteria in plaque can eat through the hard, white coating on
the outside of your teeth (enamel), creating a cavity. The first sign of decay
may be a sensation of pain when you eat something sweet, very cold or very hot.
Other causes of toothache can include:--An accumulation of food and
debris between your teeth, especially if teeth have spacing between them.Infection
at the root of the tooth or in the gums.Trauma to the tooth, including injury
or grinding your teeth.Sudden fracture of the tooth or tooth root.A split in
the tooth that occurs over time.Tooth eruption through the gums (teething).Sinus
infection that can be felt as pain in the teeth.A toothache often requires some
sort of treatment by your dentist.
Self-care tips
Until you can see your dentist, try these self-care tips for a
toothache:
Rinse
your mouth with warm water.
Use
dental floss to remove any food particles or plaque wedged between your teeth.
Take
an over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever to dull the ache, but don't place
aspirin or another painkiller directly against your gums because it may burn
your gum tissue.
Sparingly
apply an OTC antiseptic containing benzocaine directly to the irritated tooth
and gum for temporary relief.
Apply
oil of cloves (eugenol) on a small piece of cotton directly to the sore tooth
and gum to numb the area.
If the
toothache is caused by trauma to the tooth, apply a cold compress to the
outside of your cheek
