What is best pain relief for toothache
How To Relieve Tooth Pain
hey guys it's Ryan and this will be a
quick video on a requested topic how to
relieve tooth pain so teeth can hurt a
lot and I'm sure you already know that
the best thing you can do is go to your
dentist as soon as possible but if
they're closed or you can't get there
for some reason here are some things you
can do at home to try to relieve the
pain
so clove oil acts as a numbing solution
this stuff is really good it's an
essential oil you can grab on Amazon for
less than ten to fifteen bucks
the active ingredient in the oil is
called eugenol now eugenol is a natural
anesthetic and antibacterial that can
reduce inflammation in the mouth you
soak up a few drops with a q-tip or a
cotton ball then gently place it on the
tooth or gums at the site of pain you
can also dilute it in vegetable oil if
it's too strong now you can also take
over-the-counter pain relievers along
with the clove oil ibuprofen and aspirin
tend to work best because they also take
care of the swelling so take it based on
the instructions on the bottle now warm
salt water rinses are always a good
thing to do and you can also add
over-the-counter topical anesthetics
like benzocaine gel or my personal
favorite sue credits I'm not a sponsor
but this stuff is amazing for painful
mouth ulcers you just suck on the
lozenge and keep it near the site of
pain and it's a really strong anesthetic
that'll start working within a couple
minutes and then an ice pack compress is
always a good thing to do for toothaches
as well now what about at night when the
pain gets really bad so there are three
things you can do sleep with extra
pillows elevating your head helps limit
blood flow to the face because blood is
pressure and pressure is pain you can
also eat less that night less food means
less metabolic processes which also
means less blood pumping to the face and
also lean towards colder and softer
foods rather than hot and acidic foods
and I hate to be that guy but even
though it hurts
brushing and flossing before bed is a
really good thing to do to try to reduce
the amount of germs in the mouth and
keep everything as clean as possible to
help your body fight off any infection
alright guys that's it for this video I
hope you found some of these tips
helpful and hope you can get out of pain
soon thanks for watching and see you
guys next time
