Introduction
Under normal circumstances, common formulations of Yunnan Baiyao include powder, capsules, aerosol sprays, ointments, and plasters. Yunnan Baiyao may provide temporary relief for certain types of toothache but cannot address the underlying cause. If toothache symptoms are severe or persist for a prolonged period, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention for professional treatment. Additionally, a light and清淡 diet should be maintained in daily life.

Under normal circumstances, common formulations of Yunnan Baiyao include powder, capsules, aerosol, ointment, and patches. Yunnan Baiyao may provide temporary relief for certain types of toothaches but cannot address the underlying cause. Detailed analysis is as follows:

The main ingredients of Yunnan Baiyao include traditional Chinese herbs such as Panax notoginseng, which have effects of stopping bleeding, reducing swelling, and relieving pain. If toothache is caused by gingivitis, periodontal swelling, or minor trauma, using Yunnan Baiyao can temporarily alleviate swelling and discomfort by reducing local inflammatory responses and inhibiting pain signal transmission.

Common underlying causes of toothaches, such as dental caries, pulpitis, pericoronitis of wisdom teeth, and periapical periodontitis, are often due to bacterial infection, pulp exposure, or structural damage to the tooth. Yunnan Baiyao cannot eliminate the infectious focus or repair dental damage. Relying solely on its analgesic effect might mask the condition and delay treatment. For example, severe pain caused by pulpitis results from inflammation and increased pressure within the pulp tissue. Root canal treatment is required to drain and relieve the pressure for definitive treatment, and Yunnan Baiyao has limited effectiveness in alleviating this type of pain.

If toothache symptoms are severe or persist for a prolonged period, it is recommended to seek timely professional medical care. In daily life, maintaining a light diet, consuming more soft and easily digestible foods such as millet porridge and vegetable porridge, getting sufficient rest, and maintaining a positive mindset are beneficial for recovery.
