11 Quick Methods to Stop Toothache

1. Rinsing your mouth with salt water or alcohol several times can also relieve toothache.

2. Holding a chili pepper against the cavity can alleviate the pain.

3. Rubbing the Hegu point (near the base of the thumb on the back of the hand) with water or massaging it with your fingers can reduce pain.

4. Grind 10 grams of white pepper into a powder, mix it with white liquor to form a paste, and apply it to the cavity in four portions.

5. If the pain is triggered by heat, it's often due to pyogenic infection. Applying an ice pack to the cheek can alleviate the pain.

6. When experiencing toothache, bite a small piece of ginger on the affected area. Repeat as necessary.

7. Crush 1-2 pills of Liushen Pill on the gum above the affected tooth, 5 pills per day, once every 10 hours, generally not exceeding 3 times.

8. Crush an appropriate amount of garlic, warm it slightly, and apply it to the painful spot to relieve symptoms of pulpitis, periodontitis, and toothache.

9. Mix MSG and warm water in a 1:50 ratio. Hold the MSG solution in your mouth for a while before spitting it out. Repeat several times, and the toothache should disappear within two days.

10. Pour 100 grams of white liquor into a cup, add 10 grams of salt, stir, and boil after the salt dissolves. Take a sip of the mixture at the painful spot (do not swallow), and the toothache will stop immediately.

11. Bite a clove flower to crush it and fill the cavity. The toothache will disappear within a few hours, and the pain can be stopped for a long time (clove flowers can be purchased at traditional Chinese medicine stores).

Toothache First Aid Precautions

1. For persistent toothache, taking painkillers is recommended to alleviate temporary pain.

2. Remember, toothache does not equal treatment. Pay attention to oral hygiene to prevent toothache. When toothache occurs, if the above methods do not work, seek emergency treatment at a hospital promptly.

3. Maintaining oral hygiene is crucial to stop toothache. Brushing teeth in the morning and evening is important, and rinsing your mouth after meals is also a good habit.

4. To prevent dental diseases, adopt the "horizontal vibration and vertical brushing method." When brushing, align the movement direction with the teeth. This can massage the gums, improve blood circulation in the surrounding tissues, and reduce pain caused by dental diseases.
