Introduction
Pain from wisdom teeth can be quickly relieved by using methods such as eating garlic or vinegar. If you have toothache, simply cut a piece of garlic and rub the cut surface directly on the affected tooth to effectively alleviate the pain. However, during this process, avoid direct contact with the gums to prevent discomfort. Applying garlic paste directly to the Hegu acupoint (LI4) has a particularly noticeable therapeutic effect for allergic toothaches.
Although toothache is not a disease in itself, it can cause significant discomfort once it occurs. It not only affects one's diet but also brings serious physical and psychological distress. Therefore, it is important to properly address and promptly treat toothaches. So, what are some ways to relieve tooth pain?
What Are Some Ways to Relieve Tooth Pain?
Tooth pain can be quickly alleviated using natural remedies such as garlic and vinegar. If you have a toothache, cut a piece of garlic and rub the cross-section directly on the affected tooth; this can effectively reduce pain. However, during application, avoid direct contact with the gums to prevent irritation or discomfort. Applying garlic paste directly to the Hegu acupoint (LI4) has shown particularly noticeable effects for relieving allergy-related tooth pain. Alternatively, you can boil vinegar together with goji berries and use the mixture as a mouth rinse to help ease the pain. Rinsing 2–3 times daily can significantly alleviate symptoms.
Tooth pain may stem from conditions such as periodontitis or food impaction. The pain caused by periodontitis resembles that of apical periodontitis and is often accompanied by deep periodontal pockets or loose teeth. Gums may repeatedly bleed and become swollen. In other cases, tooth pain results from food being trapped between teeth—especially when the food is hard or small—leading to what is known as food impaction pain.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential in daily life. It’s advisable to eat mild, non-irritating foods to reduce stress on the oral mucosa, ensure adequate sleep, and boost overall immunity. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health and a happy life.
