Tooth Ache
Toothache can be a sign of tooth decay. Only a Dental doctor can find the real cause of the pain. But let's try out some ways at home to control the pain.
* Gargle with warm water or warm water mixed with salt, each time after food or after brushing every night.
* Apply a little alcohol or clove oil or nutmeg oil to the effected tooth or area.
* When there is pain, take a piece of ice and press it against the skin between your thumb and forefinger.
* If you have severe pain, keep a piece of ice inside the mouth between the tooth and the cheeks for 15 minutes. Repeat four times a day.
* Have lots of milk and leafy vegetables and calcium. Avoid sweet, sour and cold things which causes tooth decay.
* When you have pain , never apply heat on your cheeks. If you are having an infection of the tooth applying heat will aggravate it.
