How quickly to stop a toothache folk remedies?
Without anesthetic tablets at home, you can try to eliminate toothache by using the following methods.
Rinse with soda-brine
This procedure allows you to clean the oral cavity, the spaces between the teeth and the carious cavities from food debris, which is often the cause of pain. To prepare the product should be dissolved in a glass of warm water on a teaspoon of baking soda and table salt. Initially, the rinse should be intense, then you should simply arrange "baths" for a sick tooth, holding the solution in your mouth for 1-2 minutes.
Herbal Rinse
For rinses from toothache, you can also use decoctions of various medicinal plants (chamomile, sage, oak bark , calendula, etc.). As an alternative, you can use solutions prepared on the basis of water with the addition of alcohol tinctures of calendula, sage (1 teaspoon of tincture per cup of water). This helps reduce inflammation.
Alcoholic "baths"
This is a fairly effective way to quickly eliminate toothache, which involves the use of a small amount of any strong alcoholic beverage (vodka, cognac, rum, etc.). To do this, you need to take a mouthful in your mouth and hold a few minutes about the painful focus. Alcohol is quickly absorbed through the mucous membranes and, reaching the nerve endings, causes them to "numb".
Compress
In the presence of a carious cavity, you can place a piece of propolis, a crushed clove of a carnation or a piece of onion to remove pain.
Ice
Toothache, especially accompanied by swelling, can be reduced with a piece of ice. To do this, it should be wrapped in polyethylene and cotton cloth, and then apply for a few minutes to the cheek from the side of the aching tooth.
Remember that reducing or eliminating pain does not mean eliminating pathology, and pain can return. Also, under the "mask" of toothache can be completely different diseases (for example, inflammation of the paranasal sinus or trigeminal nerve), so you should consult a specialist in any case.
