Update: December 2018

When teeth hurt, it reminds the person that there are problems in the oral cavity, the treatment of which should not be delayed. But if the soreness catches by surprise, and there is no opportunity to visit the dentist. What helps with debilitating toothache, and what medications can you use to relieve your condition before going to the dentist?

Medicines

There are many different drugs for toothache. Some of them only slightly alleviate the condition, while others completely stop the pain syndrome. The strength of the drug depends on which active ingredient is included in its composition. There are two groups of drugs that have an analgesic effect.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

In addition to the pain reliever, drugs have pronounced anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. The drugs are not addictive, and also do not affect the functioning of the central nervous system. Due to the absence of a narcotic effect, they are widely used in outpatient practice for the treatment of various pathologies, including as an analgesic for toothache.

The most extensive group of drugs, the classification of which is based on the diversity of their chemical structure.

  1. On the basis of salicylic acid - aspirin, acelysin.
  2. On the basis of pyrazolone - analgin, butadione, amidopyrine.
  3. Aniline-based - paracetamol.
  4. Based on organic acids - ibuprofen, diclofenac.
  5. From the group of oxicams - piroxicam.

Before you try to get rid of a toothache on your own with the help of the listed medicines, you must carefully read the annotation.

Narcotic analgesics

There are natural (codeine, morphine) and synthetic (promedol, fentanyl, tramadol). Natural medicines are also called opiates, and synthetic medicines are also called opioids. The drugs have a pronounced analgesic effect, while in the process of their use, reactions from the central nervous system are observed, such as euphoria, retardation of consciousness and perception, drowsiness. Addiction can develop as a result of regular use. In case of an overdose, a lethal outcome is possible, since opiates inhibit the work of the respiratory center of the central nervous system.

With a sharp withdrawal of the drug, withdrawal symptoms develop ("withdrawal syndrome"), which is expressed by myalgia, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, paresthesia and other disorders of the general condition.

Such drugs are prescribed only with a doctor's prescription and in cases where there is no effect from taking non-narcotic drugs. It is strictly forbidden to use them at home to eliminate pain from teeth.

Preparations for the elimination of toothache in children

 Recommended as part of a comprehensive treatment against toothache in a child, as well as to alleviate the condition during teething

Both among ordinary mothers and among doctors, there is a debate about which drugs are the safest, but at the same time effective in combating pain. According to foreign studies and WHO data, all drugs based on nimesulide should not be used in children until the age of 12. Such statements are based on the possible risk of developing side effects, the main one among which is hepatitis. Therefore, you do not need to risk the health of your child and use “Nise”, “Nimesil” and similar drugs to eliminate pain syndrome.

Paracetamol is recognized as the safest antipyretic and analgesic in pediatric practice. Unlike nimesulide, it only affects cyclooxygenase-3, so there are practically no side effects. The main disadvantage of paracetamol is that it does not eliminate inflammation, but only lowers the temperature and eliminates pain, therefore it is considered not as strong as other drugs from the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Particular attention should also be paid to the Panadol produced in England. The active ingredient in this syrup is paracetamol, which, since 1955, has been considered the most purified of all drugs based on it and has the least hepatotoxic effect.

Traditional methods

In some cases, alternative treatment is the only possible way to temporarily soothe a toothache in order to wait for a visit to the dentist. Consider the most effective and proven folk remedies for toothache.

  1. Soda-salt rinses- "classic" fight against many dental ailments. To prepare a solution, take 150 ml of boiled water and add one teaspoon of salt and soda to it, mix thoroughly. Rinse your mouth as needed and after meals. This method is especially effective for apical periodontitis.
  2. Propolis - due to the content of special substances in the bee "glue", anesthesia occurs, as well as elimination of inflammation. Put a pea-sized piece of propolis in your mouth and chew for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Aloe and Kalanchoe juice- the extract of these plants has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. Cut the sheet into two parts and apply the fleshy side to the sore tooth, or squeeze the juice onto a gauze strip and apply it to the gum for 10 - 15 minutes.
  4. Decoctions of medicinal herbs- many plants have analgesic, disinfecting and anti-inflammatory effects, therefore it should be chosen taking into account individual tolerance reactions. For this, sage, flowers of calendula or chamomile are suitable, as well as St. John's wort. Pour a tablespoon of dry collection into a thermos, pour boiling water and set for infusion for 4 hours, after which the broth should be filtered and can be used for rinsing or mouth baths 3-4 times a day.
  5. Decoction of oak bark - an infusion on oak bark has pronounced tanning properties, i.e. astringent, therefore, after application on the mucous membranes, there is a feeling of tightness, which slightly reduces pain sensitivity. Also, the broth is used to combat inflammation in the mouth. Pour 20 grams of bark with one glass of boiling water and leave for 30 - 60 minutes. After cooling, it can be used to treat the oral cavity.
  6. Cold compress- Applying to swollen gums reduces signs of swelling and swelling of soft tissues.
  7. Essential oils - the healing properties of oils not only disinfect, but also analgesize the problem area. Apply a couple of drops of oil to a cotton ball and apply to the tooth. For this, fir, clove or eucalyptus oil is suitable.
  8. Anesthetic - if you dip a cotton swab in a solution of lidocaine and add it to the carious cavity, it will help to quickly and permanently relieve toothache.

In the case of chronic toothache, pills can be dispensed with if the causative tooth does not cause much pain, but only slight discomfort.

Treatment of toothache in pregnant women

The period of waiting for the birth of a child for the expectant mother can become quite difficult if she develops a toothache, since many medications cannot be taken during pregnancy. But:

  • Paracetamol - taking it in acceptable dosages will not harm the child.
  • Traditional methods - when treating with decoctions of herbs, you should also carefully read the effects they have, since some varieties of plants provoke an increase in uterine tone. If acute pain develops at night, and there is no way to urgently go to the doctor, then it is allowed to use the following methods of dealing with the disease.
    • Apply a piece of propolis to a sore tooth for a quarter of an hour.
    • In case of acute inflammation, rinse your mouth with soda-saline solution.
    • Chew cloves, as the oils released during this process have anesthetic and anti-inflammatory effects.
    • Make mouth trays with sage or calendula tea.

If the pain persists, and the inflammation is growing, then you need to seek dental care in the near future.

Causes of pain

In order to qualitatively cure the pathology, the doctor needs to know what caused the development of such a condition, because, depending on the nature of the pain, the prerequisites may be different.

Sharp pain

  1. Pulp hyperemia- the initial stage of the inflammatory process affecting the dental nerve. In this case, the patient suddenly has an attack of pain, which after a while spontaneously subsides. The disease cannot develop on an absolutely healthy tooth. Usually hyperemia is preceded by deep caries. Since the partial inflammation of the pulp is a reversible process, with a timely visit to the doctor, you can keep the tooth alive.
  2. Acute serous pulpitis- spilled irreversible inflammation of the neurovascular bundle of the tooth. This form of pulpitis is characterized by acute paroxysmal pain, mainly disturbing at night. Uncomfortable sensations arise unexpectedly, while painful attacks are replaced by "light" intervals. At the initial stage, the painless period is quite long, but when the process aggravates, the pain becomes unbearable.
  3. Acute purulent pulpitis- the next stage of pulp inflammation, which begins at the time of the addition of a purulent infection. The patient's sensations in the causative tooth become pulsating, aggravated by the heat. The patient indicates a feeling of fullness in the tooth, painless gaps are practically absent.
  4. Acute apical periodontitis- a disease that develops when an infection from the root canal system penetrates the periapical tissues surrounding the dental root, and causes inflammation there. By type, exudate can be serous or purulent. With serous periodontitis, a person has a constant aching pain that intensifies when you press on the tooth. When the process enters the purulent stage, the sensations acquire a pulsating and irradiating character. Often, the patient indicates the feeling of a "grown" tooth, while attempts to close the jaw lead to unbearable pain.
  5. Acute periostitis- an inflammatory process affecting the periosteum. It occurs due to the lack of timely treatment of periodontitis. In addition to painful sensations, swelling occurs in the area of ​​the causative tooth, and often the cheek swells and the face becomes asymmetric.

Recurrent pain

Pain is not always acute. When a person has a severe toothache, he tries to get to the doctor as soon as possible. Things are different with chronic recurrent pain. They are rather weak, they appear from time to time, or after exposure to some irritant, for example, sweet or cold.

  1. Hyperesthesia of hard tissues- with increased sensitivity, soreness periodically occurs, which subsides after the annoying factor is eliminated. Outwardly, the tooth looks absolutely healthy or has areas of increased wear in the neck area (wedge-shaped defects).
  2. Enamel cracks - congenital structural damage or resulting from trauma, as well as sudden changes in temperature of the food consumed, lead to the fact that sometimes a painful reaction may occur when contacting cold air, hot or cold food, as well as sweet foods.
  3. Medium caries - the destruction of hard tissues is accompanied by the fact that irritation is freely transmitted to the pulp chamber through the dentinal tubules. The discomfort is aggravated by the use of hot, cold or sweet foods. After eliminating the irritant, the pain disappears.
  4. Post-filling pain- appear immediately after placing the seal or after a few days. So the tooth can react to the preparation and manipulation of the restoration. Overdrying of the cavity, excessive etching, shrinkage of the material, detachment of the cushioning layer - all this leads to the fact that the tooth aches. Normally, such sensations disappear within a week, but if the pain increases daily, then you need to contact the doctor who was involved in the therapy.
  5. Chronic apical periodontitis- the disease is almost painless. If there is a granuloma at the apex of the root, then periodic discomfort when pressing on the tooth may disturb. With a decrease in immune defense and the development of a common cold-inflammatory disease, the response of the tooth to pressing can increase.

When you need to see a doctor urgently

Urgent dental care is required for:

  • an increase in inflammation;
  • accession of a purulent infection;
  • deterioration of the general condition of the body;
  • spreading the process to nearby tissues;
  • swelling of the gums or cheeks;
  • the formation of a fistula in the projection of the apex of the tooth.

The consequences of self-medication

Not a single, even the most effective pain pills, will help avoid complications if you do not engage in treatment aimed at eliminating the cause that led to the occurrence of such a condition.

  • Inflammation of the dental nerve will not disappear by itself, caries will not disappear, but just the opposite - the course of these pathologies will only intensify. Therefore, you should not take medicines for toothache or try to eliminate it at home with the help of various rinses and hope that you will not need to visit the dental office, this will only lead to the development of more serious diseases.
  • Timely unsealed caries turns into inflammation of the dental nerve, in the absence of pulpitis treatment, the process spreads to the periapical tissues, which, in turn, causes damage to the periosteum.
  • The serous process is often complicated by the addition of a purulent infection, when it is no longer possible to do without taking antibiotics.

The most dangerous consequences of not being treated are:

  • osteomyelitis - an inflammatory process in the jaw bones, leading to their destruction;
  • abscess and phlegmon- purulent fusion of soft tissues;
  • mediastinitis - a condition when an infection enters the mediastinum and causes inflammation there;
  • sepsis - blood poisoning.

Are you familiar with toothache? This insidious signal indicates dental pathologies. Most of the inhabitants of the planet have faced such unpleasant manifestations. Do not hope that the problem will disappear with complete inactivity. Dentists note: the longer the patient self-medicates, suffers pain, tries to relieve the symptom in an amateurish way, the more serious the consequences will be.

A pain impulse or aching pain around the clock can be signs of completely different disorders.

Navigation

Why does toothache occur?

Enamel damage

The sensitivity of the tooth increases when the surface layer of the enamel is damaged. In this case, the discomfort increases when eating food with a sharp taste, reacts to cold and too hot food. The pain is weak, aching, prolonged. Less often, short-term impulses occur under the influence of irritating factors.

Caries and pulpitis

With initial caries, discomfort occurs, which is rarely paid attention to. The general sensitivity of the tooth is increasing, but it is moderately disturbing. The pain comes with deep lesions, impulses are especially noticeable if pulpitis has begun. Sharp spasms are localized in one place, and a person can accurately indicate the source of unpleasant sensations. Pain is delivered by any touch, a sharp turn of the head, brushing your teeth. If measures are not taken in time, then the flux begins.

Gingivitis and periodontitis

Aching soreness spreads over the gums, it is difficult to determine the exact source. The sensation is heightened when chewing structured food. Redness of the gum tissue and bleeding are observed.

Injuries, consequences of treatment, growth of the last molars

With mechanical shock, pain occurs immediately after injury: various complications and damage to the root system or crown are possible. In rare cases, after treatment, an atypical reaction of the body may occur, which is complicated by poor healing. It is also possible tissue infection or incomplete cleaning of the carious cavity.

Particular pain, which subsides at times and arises again, accompanies the eruption of the "wisdom tooth", which injures the gum during growth.

With a toothache of any etiology, it is prohibited:

  • Warming up. Do not use a heating pad or a warming compress - such measures will accelerate the development of abscesses.
  • When rinsing, do not take a cold or hot solution - additional irritation will provoke a new attack.
  • Applying randomly selected herbs or analgesics to the affected area can complicate the situation. And, if the tooth is damaged, then its unprofessional processing will cause serious problems: the pain will intensify, the inflammation will progress, and the onset of sepsis is possible.

For a while, pills will help the patient. Medicines are divided into several subgroups, each of which will prove to be the best choice in different situations. During a routine check-up with a dentist, you should ask what emergency measures will be safe in your case.

Analgesics: effective toothache pills

Nuance: pain pills do not cure! They relieve pain only for a while. The problem remains. If you do not start looking for the cause of the toothache, then at best, an urgent tooth extraction will be required. Suppuration, destruction of bone tissue are considered as serious complications - then surgical intervention under general anesthesia is indicated.

As a general rule, the dose of the pain reliever should not be exceeded. The intake of a large amount of active substances into the body can provoke allergic reactions, dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract, inconsistency in the work of the cardiovascular system.

Analgesics will relieve the pain for a few hours.

Baralgin

In its composition, analgin, supplemented with an antispasmodic - pitofenone hydrochloride, its action is close to papaverine. Has analgesic and antispastic effect. The medicine is not recommended for children under 15 years of age, pregnant women, patients with bronchial asthma and those who suffer from disorders of the hematopoiesis process.

Tempalgin

Soothes aching toothache, but is powerless against acute attacks with pulpitis and periodontitis, only muffles strong pulsating bursts. The main active ingredient is purified sodium metamizole. The medicine is included in the course of therapy, in combination with a number of antispasmodics.

Additionally, the drug has a sedative effect: it eliminates anxiety. This is facilitated by tempidone, which is able to somewhat lower blood pressure. Therefore, the drug should be used with caution in hypotensive patients. Substances enhance each other's action.

The calming effect is noticeable after half an hour, and the pain reliever - after about an hour. Progressive dentists consider the remedy somewhat outdated, since it bears similarities to the analgin, which was popular in the middle of the last century. But its democratic cost and effectiveness in uncomplicated situations contribute to the drug's popularity.

Spazmalgon

The drug remains one of the most popular drugs that relieve pain attacks of various etiologies, including dental ones. When the remedy begins to act, muscle tissue relaxes, nerve endings are not irritated. As a result, painful impulses are blocked, toothache subsides for 5-12 hours.

With strong sensations, you can drink 2 tablets, but an adult weighing more than 50 kg cannot take more than 5 tablets per day. The maximum possible admission period is 3 days. For adolescents weighing from 30 to 50 kg, a single dose is 1 tablet. The minimum pause between the use of spazmalgon is 4 hours.

Solpadein

Available in capsule and oral tablet form, there are soluble options. It is positioned as a drug with an enhanced analgesic effect. The drug contains paracetamol, caffeine, as well as codeine phosphate hemihydrate, which promotes the early cessation of cough in case of colds.

Each of the indicated forms is taken according to the instructions in which the dosage and methods of administration of the drug are prescribed.

Askofen

It will help relieve acute pain syndrome, weak aching, acute impulsive or pulsating manifestations. Cope with all types of odontalgia. It is considered an analgesic, non-narcotic drug. No prescription is required to purchase.

Homeopathic remedies are effective: Aconite, Koffeya, Arnica.

If allergic reactions, arrhythmia, tachycardia, dizziness occur, taking any pain-relieving pills should be stopped.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are pills for severe toothache

The latest generations of pain relievers can not only relieve an annoying symptom, but also act as anti-inflammatories.

Ketanov

Ketanov is sold as tablets or injectable solutions without a prescription. This unique powerful analgesic will help relieve severe pain and will be useful in the postoperative period. Helps after complicated traumatic tooth extraction, during exacerbations of pulpitis or periodontitis. Modern pharmaceuticals have created a drug equal in strength to morphine, but not addictive and does not have a destructive effect on the body.

The drug does not have sedative properties, therefore, after taking it there is no drowsiness and apathy, the drug does not affect a person's business activity.

The drug contains a number of components, the main active ingredient is ketorolac. Its effectiveness has been proven: the substance begins to act a few minutes after it enters the bloodstream. Due to the influence of this component in the mucous membranes, deep tissues of the gums, prostaglandins are not produced, which are catalysts of inflammatory processes and the "culprit" of the pain syndrome. Complete relief comes in 30-40 minutes.

Toothache is relieved, and other accompanying unpleasant sensations are relieved: itching, burning, aching in the jaw. Within 7 hours, you can relax and forget about the pain, it is allowed to take the medicine again when symptoms recur.

The drug is capable of providing analgesic, moderate antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects. If the load on the problem area is temporarily avoided, then the patient can relax for several hours. The next day, a visit to the doctor is required.

Nurofen

This medicine will help relieve not only dental pain, but also associated discomfort. The drug is available in different dosages, designed for different age groups. Suppositories, delicious suspensions and syrups for younger patients, traditional or effervescent tablets are available over the counter without a prescription.

The active ingredient is ibuprofen, which is one of the best anti-inflammatory non-steroidal drugs. Its effectiveness can be explained simply: the components act directly on the inflammation focus and block the development of specific proteins that support an atypical reaction of the body.

Ibuprofen helps the production of interferon, which increases the resistance of tissues to infectious lesions - this is especially important in the postoperative period, after tooth extraction. Nurofen is well tolerated, side reactions are rare.

The drug has many analogues from the NSAID group with similar characteristics: Ibuprofen, Profen, Profinal, Solpaflex, Markofen. Each of the remedies has additional characteristics or limitations, therefore, before using the drug, you must carefully read the instructions.

Nimesil

OTC drug, active ingredient - nimesulide. Both dosage powders and tablet forms are popular. This medicine will be an excellent assistant, relieving any manifestations of toothache, aches in the gums, discomfort with jaw neuralgia, manifestations of other dental diseases.

This option is often prescribed by dentists, since the remedy has a minimum of contraindications, it will relieve you of excruciating suffering for a long time. The action begins within half an hour, the next reception is desirable only after 12 hours.

Effective analogues: Nise, Nimesulide, Nemulex, Aponil.

Dexalgin

Its basis is dexketoprofen. You should not use more than 3 tablets a day, since the medicine has a powerful prolonged analgesic effect. The interval between doses should not be less than 8 hours. The medicine is not recommended for minors, pregnant women and people over 70 years old. Quickly relieves the condition with severe impulsive toothaches.

How to temporarily "freeze" a painful area of ​​the gums

Modern dentistry has a wide range of tools that can alleviate the patient's condition. Freezing analgesics will help to remove pain in case of gum disease, neuralgia, in the postoperative period or to hold out for several hours before admission to the clinic.

There are a number of sprays that can relieve gum and tooth sensitivity.

  1. Lidocaine- an excellent local preparation, acts locally, "freezes" the focus of pain in 2-3 minutes. The drug blocks the susceptibility of nerve endings in a given area, nerve cells do not generate impulse signals, a reaction is not formed. It is usually produced in cans, has a 10% concentration, 2-3 sprays are required for the effect. Peppermint oil (peppermint), propylene glycol act as additional components. Lidocaine is contraindicated for allergy sufferers, people with serious diseases of the cardiovascular system.
  2. Givalex bacteriostatically acts on the pathogenic microflora. It will help to anesthetize the area of ​​the gums next to the problem tooth due to the presence of chlorobutanol hemihydrate, and choline salicylate will reduce the activity of cyclooxygenase, which stimulates the course of the inflammatory process. The drug can also be attributed to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory series.

Gel preparations:

  • Metrogyl Denta. This gel will help relieve pain in children over 6 years old and adults. The drug is applied to the painful area twice a day. It is not washed off, you can take food and drink after 30-40 minutes.
  • Kamistad... The combined local anesthetic is also an anti-inflammatory agent. It contains lidocaine, therefore, the creation of a pain impulse is blocked. When processing the site, there is a temporary loss of tissue sensitivity. Dentists prescribe a gel for stomatitis, gingivitis, teething (including milk ones), it is possible to use the gel as a short-term help before visiting a doctor.
  • Dentol recommended for children and adults. Well tolerated by patients of any age. The action of the gel begins one minute after application.
  • Holisal. The active substance is a derivative of salicylic acid. Approved for use after 12 years. The dose for an adult is 1 cm and for adolescents - 0.5 cm of a gel column.

What drugs for toothache to choose for pregnant

During the period of bearing a child, it is very responsible to approach the process of treatment and selection of drugs. If you feel discomfort, then it is wiser to limit yourself to rinsing with soda, chamomile broth. Or apply a compress based on diluted honey to your cheek.

When the pain gets tired and becomes unbearable, it is possible to use no-shpy as an antispasmodic before consulting a doctor. Dentists also recommend papaverine to relieve spasms. The dosage should not exceed that indicated in the instructions.

Paracetamol, which is part of many NSAIDs, has anti-inflammatory and mild pain-relieving effects. These tablets do not affect the development of the fetus, they soothe irritated tissues. But with severe pain, the pills are ineffective. In an acute case, you should go to the dental clinic on duty to consult a doctor immediately.

In the first trimester, with significant pain and the inability to immediately get to the dentist, you can choose Nurofen in a children's dosage. Or choose another drug based on Ibuprofen.

Shown is the use of Dental drops, which act locally. It is advisable to consult a doctor about the dosage and duration of the course.

If the case is serious, the pain is barely tolerable, then from the second trimester, a single use of Ketanov is allowed. Up to the 3rd trimester, you can take its analogue Ketorol.

Preparations for toothache in childhood

Teething pain can be relieved with special gels recommended by your doctor. The use of Dentol is acceptable. If problems have arisen in school-age children, then the use of Kamistad gel is allowed.

Nise or another ibuprofen-based drug should be chosen in an adapted dosage. Baby teas or syrups are available. Nurofen will help during severe toothache, will have an anti-inflammatory effect during the period when deciduous or molars are erupting. Also, irritation, slight pain will be removed by Panadol, the main active ingredient of which is paracetamol. After 7 years, you can take Solpadein.

But first, you should try to remove the symptom with gentle and safe methods:

  • Rinse your mouth with a soda solution, dilute Furacilin tablets, use a tea tree-based composition - 2 drops per 200 ml.
  • Brew sage or chamomile (tablespoon in a glass of boiling water).

The use of Dental drops is allowed. Parents should take into account that the drug is based on ethyl alcohol. The solution is ineffective for caries.

Medicines for toothache: quick effect

Often the effectiveness depends on the form of the medication. Therefore, effervescent tablet solutions and powdered teas act faster. The assimilation of such a drug occurs quickly, the action begins literally a few minutes after ingestion.

  • Solpadein and Solpadein Active - analgesics and antipyretics. Allowed for use by adolescents over 12 years old and adults who do not have allergic reactions to the components. One tablet is dissolved in 100-150 ml of water. The pain will subside in 5-10 minutes.
  • Efferalgan contraindicated up to 2 years old and babies weighing less than 13 kg. One dose is dissolved in a glass of water. For preschoolers, half a tablet is enough. The therapeutic effect is high, complete anesthesia is achieved in 10-20 minutes.
  • Effervescent tablets Nurofen even pregnant women can be used with caution. The medicine is allowed for children over 6 years old. The dosage is indicated in the instructions for the drug.
  • Next, a film-coated tablet formulation, contains ibuprofen plus paracetamol. Therefore, it acts quickly and efficiently.
  • Powder Nimesil dissolves in warm water, acts quickly, blocks receptors that receive pain impulses and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Freezing gels and sprays will help to effectively relieve pain, inflammation.

In acute cases or during dental procedures, injections into the gums are used. Ultracaine, Septonest, Mepivastezine will act quickly, the patient will lose sensitivity in 10 minutes.

Any pain relievers, sprays, or ointments will resolve the symptom for a while. These drugs are powerless to remove the underlying causes of pain. Therefore, dentists urge responsible patients not to postpone solving the problem! If you endure the pain for several days, then serious complications are likely to occur. Dentists note that the chances of saving a tooth are greater if they see a doctor immediately after they feel discomfort. Soreness can result from the manifestation of neuralgia or arthrosis - such ailments should be treated without delay, using specialized medications. Long-term use of analgesics can only complicate the situation, and the disease will become chronic.

The painful sensations associated with dental disease that seem to appear "out of nowhere" bring serious discomfort to our lives. Such pain is annoying and intense, which significantly affects the quality of life and the performance of daily activities. Of course, there is a small percentage of people who are fortunate enough not to know what a toothache is. But, if you are in the circle of the majority, then you are probably familiar with the problem of choosing medicines to relieve this pain.

Toothache gives us considerable discomfort and requires immediate elimination

Which toothache pills will help the best? With a lack of time, desire or lack of opportunity to use dental services, you have to go to extreme measures. In this case, drugs with analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects are a temporary and welcome salvation. But which pills help with toothache? Since self-medication is not welcomed by science and medicine, and not without reason, you should at least a little understand this burning issue. What are the best pills for toothache and in what cases are considered appropriate and most effective, this article will help you figure it out.

What you need to know about medications for toothache

  1. The use of pain relievers should not be considered a treatment or a substitute for qualified dental care. Analgesics do not cure, they only help to dull the pain, while the cause of this pain continues to progress. Thus, the use of these funds should be only temporary, they are used only in order to endure before an appointment with the dentist. Many real-life cases confirm that often, instead of adequate treatment, patients delayed with the underlying cause of the pain. As a result, the only thing that could be done in the end was to remove the tooth. It is worth concluding: toothache is an “alarm bell” that signals that you should urgently go to the dentist.
  2. Almost all medications have certain contraindications and side effects. The list of undesirable effects is often more impressive and longer as much as a powerful analgesic is considered. Ideally, the choice of any medication should be consulted with a doctor, in especially urgent cases, at least remotely. The doctor will tell you how to get rid of a toothache correctly and without risking your own health.
  3. The classic case is when the patient takes two or more tablets at a short interval and does not get the desired effect.

    Remember , that if this dose was unsuccessful, then the subsequent prem will not lead to the desired result. In this situation, you should refuse this drug, because otherwise you will only harm yourself. After taking so many medications, the liver will first of all suffer, which will seriously affect your future health.


Drugs used during toothache

When choosing a medication for relieving toothache, it is advisable to take into account the mechanism of action.

Almost everyone experiences a toothache from time to time. In the event that it is not possible to immediately seek medical help or, for some reason, it is impossible to use medication pain relievers, pain can knock a person out of the normal rhythm of life for a long time. Sometimes the pain syndrome is so intense that the patient is simply not able to continue doing any business. In order to cope with even very severe pain, you can use various folk remedies, which are often able to be even more effective than chemical analgesics.

Causes of toothache

There are many reasons for the occurrence of toothache. Teeth usually start to ache if there are:

  • dental root abscess (flux);
  • caries;
  • various gum diseases;
  • cracks in the tooth enamel;
  • tooth root irritation;
  • temporomandibular joint syndrome.

The most common causes of pain are the first three from the list. It is with them that folk recipes help, the action of which is aimed at relieving inflammation and pain relief.

Complications of toothache

Toothache itself cannot cause complications, since it is just a symptom of a developing disease. Depending on what caused the pain syndrome, various types of complications are observed. In the case of caries, complications of the disease will be:

  • development of pulpitis;
  • development of dental root abscess;
  • tooth loss.

When the pain is caused by a root abscess that has already occurred, complications can be much more serious. In the absence of timely treatment, there is a risk of developing:

  • meningitis;
  • phlegmon.

Both of these complications pose a serious threat to the patient's life even with timely medical treatment.

Medicinal ways to relieve toothache

Medical treatment of pain syndrome is to eliminate the very cause of its occurrence. The dentist carries out, if possible, treatment of the affected tooth, and if it is impossible, its removal. In the case of an abscess of the tooth root, treatment with drugs is prescribed with further processing of the tooth, or they resort to surgical opening of the abscess with further processing. For gum disease, the nature of the treatment is also determined by the dentist. Seeking medical help at the first sign of problems with teeth and gums guarantees not only the preservation of the tooth, but also the minimum costs for this.

Folk recipes for toothache

Using folk remedies to combat toothache, it is important to remember that they only relieve pain, and with a root abscess, they promote the release of pus, but do not eliminate the very cause of the unpleasant sensations. Traditional medicine recipes can only be used as a means to alleviate the condition until the moment when it becomes possible to visit a qualified doctor.
