5 WAYS TO EASE A TOOTHACHE

Spread the love
Typically, toothaches have two main causes: when cavity damages
the inside of the tooth and exposes a nerve ending before it is dead, and when
fibers holding down your tooth at the socket become infected. Other causes of
toothaches are the growth of a wisdom tooth or decay or gum recession. It’s
safe to say a toothache is one of the most uncomfortable and sometimes, one of
the most painful feelings you will ever experience.  Jumia Travel, the leading online travel
agency, shares 5 ways to help you ease a toothache in the sometimes inevitable
event of one. You should know that though remedies exist to help ease a
toothache, the best thing you can do is go see a dentist to fix the problem.
The following remedies can only alleviate the pain, but the problem still
remains without proper treatment.

RINSE YOUR MOUTH WITH WARM WATER
This isn’t guaranteed to give you instant relief, but it does
help to clean your mouth and get rid of food bits stuck in your teeth that
might be bothering the painful spot. If the water is too cold or hot, it can
make the pain worse. So, be sure the temperature of the water is lukewarm.
APPLY A WARM TEA BAG ON THE AREA
The natural tannins in the tea can help numb the pain. Make sure
the tea bag is warm, not hot, so it doesn’t hurt your teeth further. Try not to
overdo its use because it can stain your teeth. This remedy is especially
helpful for swelling or irritation of your gums.
TRY A PEROXIDE RINSE
This can be very helpful in removing contaminants and helps to
limit the growth of bacteria. It’s especially good for impacted teeth and
infections in your mouth. You can use it for some relief, until you are able to
see a dentist. But be sure not to use it more than three times in a day and
more than five days in a roll. This is because it can make your teeth get very
sensitive.
RINSE YOUR MOUTH WITH SALT WATER
This popular remedy for toothaches helps to kill bacteria and
make your toothache feel better. It also helps to prevent your tooth from
getting infected. To apply, you should mix 1 tablespoon of salt in a
medium-sized glass of warm water. Swirl around your mouth for a maximum of five
minutes and spit out of your mouth. Avoid swallowing the water in the process.
GARLIC
Researchers believe since allicin, an oily liquid in garlic, has
been used to heal diseased teeth in children, it can help ease a toothache. So
you can either chew on a piece of garlic or place chopped bits on your tooth to
help ease a toothache.
