Toothache?

I'm currently having a toothache on my lower molar. It really hurts and I've had problems with it before and it's already been filled. I remember eating candy before it started though and I can't see a dentist about this because I'm in another city right now. I tried drinking meds but if I have to take 2 (after another hour) just to feel the meds working, which kinda makes me a bit loopy. Any home treatments?

Toothache?
I have had my share of tooth aches. This is what I done to relieve the pain. I would take a shot of whiskey and hold it in my mouth as long as I could. If you taking med best not swallow it. It would stop the pain for a couple of hours then I would do it again. You probably have a abscess since the pain is so bad. You need to call your dentist and have them to call you in some antibiotics to fight the infection. He cannot do anything to it until that is taken care of anyway. But the whiskey will help numb you until you can do better.

Dental care %26amp; mouth care.








After every meal, chew a little salt and gargle with water. Soft brush can be used to clean the particles caught between the teeth and the gums. Make it habit to clean the teeth every morning and before retiring to bed. In India, people use thin twig of a Babul, Banyan or a Neem tree (known as Datoon) as a brush. First it is to be crushed to make it soft and then use it like a brush. It is advisable to us a Datoon of Babul, Banyan or Neem tree at least once a day.





It is reported by experienced dentists that tooth pastes available in the marked are not much effective. Instead, the following tooth powder or paste which can be easily made at home has been found quite useful for the care of gums and teeth :





1. Tooth Powder : Mixture of finely ground alum powder 40% and rock salt or regular salt powder 60%. For better results, a few drops of lemon may be added. In case of dental problems, adding a little of 'Sudarshan' (a bitter Ayrvedic powder is also recommended.





2. Tooth-paste : For dental problems like bleeding, pyorrhoea, toothache,gingivitis, etc. make a paste of





50% alum powder


10% rock salt or table salt powder


10% Sudarshan powder (an Ayurvedic preparation)


15% edible oil (unrefined)


10% glycerine tanic acid


5% camphor.





The paste made of this mixture can be massaged on the teeth and gums in the morning and evening with fingers. It ca be packed in collapsible tubes/jars and used, as tooth-paste.





3. Even massaging the gums with a mixture of 70% unrefined edible oil (seasame or groundnut or coconut), 15% glycerine tanic acid and 15% fine powder of rock salt or table salt is useful for good, healthy teeth and gums. Make it a daily habit. Please not that healthy gums are more useful than sparkling white teeth.





4. Mouth Freshener : Gargling with a lemon juice mixed with lukewarm water, freshens the mouth. Take a quarter of a lemon, massage it on teeth and gums and then gargle with water. Even chewing of mango, tulsi or betel leaves after meals is good, and so it is advised in India.





5. Exercises for teeth : Keep the lips closed. Pound the upper teeth on lower teeth for 30 to 40 times twice a day. Then massage the saliva on gums with the tongue. That will ensure proper blood circulation in teeth and increase the life of healthy teeth and gums.
Reply:You might try ice, to the side of the face where the affected tooth is to help bring down the inflamation. Orajel helps numb everything.





Having said that, you may have an abcessed tooth, and it will not get better without treatment. so you might as well make a Dental appointment when u get home. Or if it gets too bad, seek out a Dentist where you are now. They may want to send you to a Root canal specialist, ar an oral surgeon to remove it.





Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
