Tooth Ache
Toothache can be a sign of tooth decay. Only a Dental
doctor can find the real cause of the pain. But let's try out some ways at home
to control the pain. Gargle
with warm water or warm water mixed with salt, each time after food or after brushing
every night. Apply a little alcohol or clove oil or nutmeg oil
to the effected tooth or area. When there is pain, take a piece
of ice and press it against the skin between your thumb and forefinger. If
you have severe pain, keep a piece of ice inside the mouth between the tooth and
the cheeks for 15 minutes. Repeat four times a day. Have lots of
milk and leafy vegetables and calcium. Avoid sweet, sour and cold things
which causes tooth decay. When you have pain , never apply heat
on your cheeks. If you are having an infection of the tooth applying heat will
aggravate it. |
