Honeysuckle and Angelica dahurica can be used to treat toothache, as they possess heat-clearing, detoxifying, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties that help alleviate pain. However, since toothache can stem from various underlying causes, patients are advised to promptly visit a dental clinic for evaluation. A dental CT scan should be performed to identify the precise cause, enabling targeted treatment.
