as the saying goes: “toothache is not a disease, it hurts and kills people.” Toothache can often make people restless and restless. In addition to seeing the dentist in time when you have a toothache, some tips can also help relieve the pain.
1. Bite an orange
cut a piece or a piece of orange and stick it or bite it at the toothache to relieve the pain. It should be reminded that oranges just taken out of the refrigerator or oranges too cold will make teeth more sensitive when they are cold, so they should be deposited at room temperature.
2. Drink plenty of water
some toothache is caused by dental caries. Regular drinking water can help wash away some cariogenic bacteria in the mouth and reduce the probability of pain.
3. Bite a tea bag
black tea or green tea contains tannic acid, which not only helps reduce swelling, but also helps blood coagulation and promote healing.
put the tea bag into water, heat it in the microwave oven for 30 seconds until it is warm, squeeze the excess water from the tea bag, and then bite the tea bag on the toothache.
4. Eat less raw fruits and vegetables and more mashed potatoes.
when you have toothache, you’d better avoid eating foods with more sugar or spicy. You should also avoid eating foods that need to be chewed hard, such as raw fruits and vegetables with more fiber.
in order to relieve the symptoms of toothache, it is best to stick to liquid food or soft food, and the food temperature should not be too hot or too cold. For example, eat mashed potatoes, boiled noodles, soft rice, etc.
5. Change toothpaste frequently
using the same toothpaste for a long time is easy to cause oral bacteria to have “adaptability” to the toothpaste. Therefore, people prone to toothache should change toothpaste of different brands every few months.
6. Hot compress or cold compress the cheek
hot (cold) compress the toothache area with a hot (cold) towel to help alleviate the toothache. Drinking hot soup and hot tea also has the analgesic effect similar to hot compress or cold compress. If you are very sensitive to overheating or supercooling when you have a toothache, you can drink lukewarm tea, cocoa or lemonade.
7. Brush your teeth for toothache
poor oral hygiene is one of the main causes of dental caries and toothache. Some people dare not brush their teeth when they have toothache, which will aggravate their condition. When brushing teeth, pay attention not to be too fast and the time should not be too long. It can take 2 minutes.
8. Gargle with warm saline
gargle with warm saline or contain it in the mouth for a period of time, which can promote saliva secretion and alleviate severe toothache.
