When a person has a toothache, it is important for him to find everything that will help at home. An unpleasant reaction in the oral cavity that brings suffering to a person is caused by irritation of the nervous apparatus inside the channels of the chewing element or by a focus inside the structures that hold the root. As a result, the inflammatory reaction is activated, and from it arise and! And if you cannot visit a doctor right away, it is recommended to use medications for toothache at home, to reduce the reaction from the body and reduce the activity of the local inflammation process.

What to use when there is already a toothache, what to do at home

Pain in the chewing unit is caused by inflammation, that is, irritation of the reaction zone within the canal or in the vicinity of dental tissues. It must be stopped with anti-inflammatory drugs such as: Ibuprofen, Paracetamol, Nurofen, Nimesil. Sometimes analgesics are enough.

Women's club "To over 30" today will talk about how toothache can be eliminated. Pain relievers, which can be found in any home medicine cabinet, must be used correctly, as they are toxic and can be harmful to health. In order to minimize the risk as much as possible, you need to know how to properly take various kinds of drugs, what is their maximum dosage, and also how they act on the body.

Of course, all this information can be found in the annotation, which usually accompanies pill packs. However, some types of drugs are sold in a pharmacy without instructions for use. And sometimes annotations are simply lost.

However, any civilized person should understand at least a little about medicines, because in some cases there is simply no time for a detailed reading of the instructions. So, pain relievers are divided into several groups in accordance with the mechanism of action.

These drugs have been relieving pain for many decades, and in some cases they are quite effective. These include aspirin, paracetamol, analgin, etc. These drugs not only relieve pain well, but also remove fever, and also have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Here, perhaps, it should be clarified that in the west, analgin, as a pain reliever, has long been abandoned, since it negatively affects the functions of hematopoiesis. However, our doctors continue to use it quite often, especially if there is very severe pain or too high a temperature rises.

If the toothache is not very severe, paracetamol can be used as a pain reliever. This drug has long won both the trust and respect of doctors. In addition, it is much safer than analgin. True, paracetamol or its western counterparts, such as efferalgan, will not cope with acute pain.

One of the most effective medications for pain or inflammation is aspirin. This tool has wide application and has been familiar to mankind for a long time. The main disadvantage of aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, is its irritating effect on the stomach lining, so some doctors recommend taking it after meals. Aspirin is not recommended for relieving fever and pain in children.

If the pain of an adult is quite severe, doctors recommend taking one aspirin tablet and one analginum tablet at the same time. This combination can cope with even very severe pain.

Toothache: pain reliever for unbearable pain syndrome

Newer drugs such as ibufen and ibuklin are good pain relievers. The site assures: these funds relieve pain syndrome quite well and are safe. The main rule when using pain relievers of this kind is to monitor the dosage. The daily dose of ibufen for adults is no more than four tablets. Contraindication to the use of the drug is pregnancy, lactation, serious diseases of the blood and liver.

Ibuclin is a combination of ibufen and paracetamol, respectively, combining the qualities of both drugs.

In case of toothache, these pain relievers are allowed to be taken even by children for whom the drugs are produced in the form of syrups.

Much more powerful analgesic properties are possessed by drugs such as ketans, nise, actasulide and other drugs that contain nimesulide. The disadvantages of these funds include many side effects and some contraindications, so they should be used with caution. The daily dose of nimesulide is no more than two tablets. The use of drugs containing nimesulide is strictly prohibited for children and pregnant women.

If the question is, without losing a minute, then it is better to use not pills, but injections: this way the drug will enter the bloodstream much earlier and will act, bringing almost instant relief.

The use of the narcotic group of anesthetics

Even if you are worried about a very severe toothache, you should not use a narcotic pain reliever. Drugs such as promedol, omnopon, morphine, fentanyl actually relieve severe pain very well. Their action is based on the ability to disrupt the transmission of nerve impulses in the spinal cord and brain. In addition, these funds act on the human psyche, causing the release of stress arising from the appearance of pain.

All these drugs are addictive, so they are used, as a rule, to relieve excruciating pain in late-stage oncological diseases.

These analgesics cannot be found commercially, and can only be purchased with a prescription from a doctor, who, as a rule, prescribes the drug in extreme cases for hopeless patients.

Removal of toothache with antispasmodics

Means such as drotaverine, papaverine, no-shpa and other drugs, the action of which is aimed at relieving spasm of smooth muscles, will help get rid of aching pain in the tooth. With toothache, they are rarely used as pain relievers, however, their use for pain relief is quite justified if combined with other analgesics. For example, if a toothache keeps you awake, a combined injection of papaverine, diphenhydramine and analgin will help. In this case, you can also take a no-shpy pill in combination with analgin.

In any case, if a toothache occurs, the pain reliever should be taken without a doctor's supervision for no longer than three days in a row and as soon as possible contact a specialist who will eliminate the cause of the pain.

Even with careful oral hygiene, it is not always possible to avoid dental and oral diseases. Almost always, they are accompanied by severe pain that is localized in the tooth or gum, which requires the use of drugs of the class of analgesics. After that, it is important to see a dentist quickly. When choosing a medication, it is better to take the fastest acting ones, as they can relieve pain within 10-30 minutes. But it should be understood that the most powerful analgesics are often aggressive and can harm a person with prolonged use.

The described drugs belong to the group of the most powerful and at the same time are able not only to quickly extinguish pain, but also to maintain the result obtained for 6-12 hours. It should be understood that they are not designed for long-term use and require a reasonable approach and adherence to therapeutic doses. They should be taken only in case of acute painful sensations, which can also be associated with complications in the form of temperature, abscesses, fluxes, or after surgical procedures. In the presence of any chronic diseases of internal organs, taking the described drugs can only be carried out with the permission of a doctor. information on the link.

A toothache can take a person by surprise. Its reasons can be very different - from an elementary stuck piece of food to serious inflammatory processes. Many have a severe toothache, pills do not help - only a dentist can tell what to do in this case.
Traditional medicine, rectal suppositories help. But with the help of such methods, only unpleasant symptoms are removed, the main reason is not eliminated.

Important! From a medical point of view, even elementary caries can cause meningitis, sinusitis, and many other serious pathologies, so discomfort cannot be ignored. You should visit a specialist, find out the cause of the discomfort in order to prevent complications, the development of irreversible consequences.

When asked how to anesthetize a tooth at home, if it hurts badly, I answer, you need to do the following procedure:

• if discomfort caught a person while eating, you should stop eating, brush your teeth thoroughly, remove the remnants of food with a thread;
• after taking pain medication;
• rinse the mouth with a soda solution (add a teaspoon of soda to 150 ml of boiled warm water);
• rinse the mouth with a saline solution (100 ml of warm boiled water, 1 teaspoon of salt, preferably iodized);
• if medications are not at hand, attach a cotton swab moistened with valocordin.

Rinsing solutions should be warm, because cold water can enter the nerve through possible microcracks. From this, the discomfort will only increase.
To achieve the desired result, you need to rinse for at least 5 minutes.
Salt, it is necessary to alternate after 30 seconds. Rinse your mouth frequently. After the procedure, do not drink water for 15-20 minutes.

Important! Sometimes neither pills nor folk remedies help. In addition, a person begins to feel a constant pulsation. The cheek may be enlarged. These are signs of an inflammatory process. With these symptoms, it is best to visit your dentist right away. These symptoms can be a sign of gum trauma, caries, hypersensitivity due to thin enamel, gingivitis, pulpitis, periodontitis. Each of these pathologies causes serious complications.

Cold or hot water bottle

Many resources have information that you should apply ice or a heating pad to relieve unpleasant symptoms. This cannot be done.
If a person develops inflammation, then the heating pad only contributes to its strengthening. Indeed, in fact, inflammation is the multiplication of a harmful infection.
In a warm environment, it multiplies much more intensively.
As for ice, the question cannot be answered unequivocally. It can intensify pain by irritating an exposed nerve or thin enamel.
But the alternative is to apply cold to the ear or temple area. The soreness will indeed become a little less. But if you apply something cold to your forehead or earlobe, then there will be no trace of discomfort.

The discussion of the eternal topic "how to relieve tooth pain at home" is prompted by two facts: an exorbitant, sometimes horrifying, dislike for dentists and the intolerable nature of toothache. And in such cases, the main thing is not to overdo it: neither with painkillers, nor with home remedies.

After all, the main cause of toothache is pulpitis (inflammation of the neurovascular plexus with deep caries). In such a situation, the pain reliever should have a quick, sufficiently strong effect and not have serious negative consequences.

Toothache drugs - pros and cons

What pills to choose and how to drink correctly for tooth pain

The easiest way is to take a pain reliever pill. Consider the most effective drugs that eliminate toothache:

• Novocaine, Lidocaine

These drugs, used for local anesthesia, can be used when toothache occurs. The liquid from the opened ampoule is poured onto a cotton swab and applied to a diseased tooth. At the same time, Lidocaine has a more pronounced analgesic effect. When using these funds, you should take into account possible intolerance: do not get carried away if you have not previously tested for sensitivity to each of the drugs.

The pain relieving effect does not last very long, and repeated use can affect the heart (especially in the elderly and in the heart).

• Analgin, Tempalgin

Analgin, widely used since Soviet times, has its pros and cons. The medicine is cheap, but he most often fails to cope with severe pain. In addition, the mass of side effects made many countries of the world abandon it. Therefore, the use of analgin for tooth pain at home is advisable only in the absence of other drugs. Moreover, the preparation applied to the tooth actively destroys the enamel.

It is best to replace the drug with Tempalgin: it contains the same metamizole, but the analgesic effect is longer. Combined drugs Maxigan, Baralgin, Trigan, Spazgan have a more pronounced antispasmodic effect (used for abdominal colic, bladder spasms, etc.). Their use for toothache is doubtful, however, in the absence of other means, you can take these pills.

• Aspirin

Americans' favorite Aspirin tablets will help relieve toothache. However, this drug belongs to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and therefore has a strong irritant effect on the stomach.

Aspirin should be taken only after meals, effervescent tablets are faster. It is not worth getting carried away with this remedy - swallowing one pill after another: the negative consequences of its use in the form of stomach pains are almost guaranteed.

• Ibuprofen

The drug, also belonging to the NSAID group, has many more expensive analogues - Nurofen, Mig-400, Faspik, Bolinet. The analgesic effect occurs 15 minutes after taking a dose of 400 mg, however, with severe pain, you can take up to 4 tablets of Ibuprofen (800 mg) at once. You can take no more than 2400 mg per day!

Ibuprofen, of course, will help you survive to the dentist, but its regular use is fraught with negative consequences. In addition, this drug for people over 40 is recommended only in a single dosage and is contraindicated for hypertensive patients.

• Diclofenac

Everyone knows about the use of Diclofenac for radiculitis and joint pain. However, this remedy can also relieve toothache. Only in this case, it is better to use combined drugs, which also include paracetamol, which enhances the effect of the main substance - Dolaren, Panoxen. The mass of side effects, as with all NSAIDs, somewhat limits the duration of use and clarifies the range of contraindications (stomach ulcer, internal bleeding, severe hypertension, etc.).

• Ketorolac

One of the NSAIDs, which has the most pronounced analgesic effect. More expensive drugs based on Ketorolac: Ketanov, Ketorol, Toradol, For a day, let's take 3 tablets. For a quick onset of the effect, the tablet must be taken with plenty of water.

• Nimesulide

A potent NSAID drug, the analgesic effect lasts up to 8 hours. The usual dose is 100 mg twice a day, the maximum is 400 mg. Trade names - Nimesulide (the cheapest), Nimesil, Sigan, Nise, Coxtral.

• Dexalgin

Highly effective pain reliever. Contraindications and the list of negative effects are due to Dexalgin's belonging to the NSAID group. You can take 1/2 tab. every 4 hours or whole every 8 hours.

Maximum per day, you can use no more than 3 tab. (With 75 mg). Use with caution in smokers, diabetics, people over 65 years old, patients with ischemia of the heart. Contraindicated under 18 years of age.

• Naproxen

To relieve toothache, preparations containing naproxen sodium salt are more suitable: the analgesic effect occurs faster. It is used in 1-1.5 tabs. at a dose of 500 mg twice a day, the maximum dosage per day is 3 tab.

However, even to relieve intense tooth pain, 1 tab is usually sufficient. in a day. Allowed for children from 1 year old in accordance with age dosages. Other trade names are Aksen Fort, Nalgezin.

What if there are no drugs at hand?

There are cases that neither a pharmacy nor elementary tablets such as Analgin and Aspirin are at hand. In such cases, you can only rely on improvised home remedies. How to relieve tooth pain without pills at home? This can help you:

1. Ice applied through the fabric to the cheek on the affected side will ease the pain somewhat. The ice should be kept for only a few minutes.
2. Gargle - Put water in your mouth and hold on the sore side. The water should not be too cold, the best option is room temperature. When the water heats up in your mouth, spit it out and fill up again. This measure will give only some relief, while helping to wash out food debris from the carious cavity that can provoke pain. The best effect will be achieved if half a teaspoon is dissolved in a glass of water. salt. Gargling with chamomile, strong infusion of sage, eucalyptus, mint will ease the situation if the pain in the tooth is not so intense and is associated with inflammation of the gums or increased sensitivity of the enamel.
3. Gargling with alcohol will provide minor local anesthetic. You can not apply alcohol on a cotton swab to a sore tooth and swallow every portion of alcohol when rinsing. Alcohol is used only strong and not sweet - vodka, cognac.
4. Cloves are the most common home remedy. In the best case, use clove oil: rub into a sore spot or dissolve 5-6 drops in a glass of water and rinse. Can be ground into powder 2 pcs. cloves, mix with any vegetable oil and apply to the tooth.
5. Plantain can help relieve a toothache when hiking. The leaf should be thoroughly chewed and the gruel should be moved to the aching tooth. The washed and crushed plantain root can relieve toothache within 30 minutes.
6. Propolis - rinse your mouth with propolis tincture diluted with water. A piece of propolis applied to a tooth will only cause a burn.
7. Impact on special points. Massaging on the hand from the side of the lesion of the interdigital space between the thumb and forefinger will help to relieve and even eliminate pain. You can also place an ice cube in this area. Other points, the pressure on which will help get rid of the pain in the tooth, are the nasolabial fold (press with the nail until pain appears if the front teeth hurt), the junction of the cheekbone and the lower jaw on the affected side, the skin at the edge of the nail plate on the index finger (pressing with the nail until pain).

What not to do when a tooth hurts?

When dealing with a toothache, the main thing is not to overdo it. Some measures can only aggravate the pain syndrome or cause irreparable harm to the body.

• Uncontrolled use of painkillers, especially the use of various drugs from the NSAID group, significantly increases the risk of side effects: from pain in the stomach, to a rise in pressure and bleeding. When using painkillers, be sure to follow the instructions: age doses, contraindications, etc.
• Applying garlic, onions, or apple cider vinegar tampons will only burn the mucous membrane. Such aggressive methods can only make the pain worse, so be careful when choosing folk remedies for toothache.
• Hot water will expand the capillaries and only increase the pain. Also, you can not use heating pads, wrap a scarf around your cheek.
• You can't clench your jaws. Excessive pressure increases pain. Breathing in air can also make the pain worse, especially in winter.
• Taking antibiotics should be prescribed by your doctor. Only the doctor will determine the need for antibiotic therapy, select the drug, select the appropriate dose and duration of the course.

What to do in special cases, because everyone wants to get rid of pain quickly?

• First, if painful sensations allow, you should brush your teeth or, at the very least, carefully remove food debris from the hole in the tooth with a toothpick. With minor caries, these measures can already eliminate pain.
• A hot tooth hurts - this is a sign of enamel sensitivity. In this case, use fluoride toothpastes. However, the visit to the dentist should not be postponed: he will not carry out any painful procedures (the procedure for removing tartar is possible), but will prescribe procedures that strengthen the tooth enamel and suppress its sensitivity.
• A pregnant woman has a toothache - taking pills without a medical prescription, especially up to 12 weeks, is fraught with the most dire consequences: from the threat of miscarriage to fetal anomalies. Let's admit taking Paracetamol, in extreme cases - a one-time use of an anesthetic in a minimal dose.
• How long does pain last after a wisdom tooth extraction? If the removal of a wisdom tooth was simple, then the painful sensations disappear in a day. In the case of incision of the gums and removal in pieces, the pain from the wisdom tooth lasts 3-5 days, maximum - a week. However, if the pain gradually increases, the temperature rises, the hole is bleeding, an urgent need to consult a dentist.

Why should you go to the doctor? Maybe let it hurt?

Pain relief is only a temporary measure. The appearance of pain indicates a pathological process (caries, pulpitis, periodontal disease, trivial trauma, etc.). Without proper treatment, the disease will only worsen, and the pain often becomes more and more intense. In addition, the formation of a cyst or suppuration of the periodontal tissues is not excluded.

The emergence of complications requires more radical treatment, which is often accompanied by tooth extraction. Do not be afraid of dental offices: modern technologies allow to heal a damaged tooth in one procedure, while the patient does not feel pain at all.
