Toothache is the kind of pain that is simply impossible to endure. Sometimes it paralyzes the work of a person, completely disrupting the rhythm of his life. Of course, a toothache is a reason to go to the dentist, but when there is no opportunity to get to the doctor for an appointment, painkillers can come to the rescue. However, they must be taken correctly, without exceeding the dosage and carefully studying all possible contraindications.
Toothache can occur for various reasons, for example, caries, periodontitis, pulpitis can cause it. It is important to understand that painkillers cannot cure a tooth, they only temporarily help reduce pain. Most drugs are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and excreted by the kidneys. Therefore, if there are diseases of the renal system, any drugs should be taken with caution.
There are two groups of drugs that can relieve toothache, these are:
NSAIDs, which include Ibuprofen, Ketoprofen, Diclofenac, etc. These drugs not only anesthetize, but also relieve inflammation.
Analgesics, which include: Tempalgin, Ketonov, Analgin, etc. These drugs are aimed solely at stopping the pain symptom by blocking the centers inside the brain that are responsible for the transmission of the pain impulse.
If you take too high a dose of painkillers, you may develop serious side effects, such as: nausea, shortness of breath, drowsiness, increased blood pressure, seizures, and even respiratory arrest.
nise
Nise refers to drugs from the group of NSAIDs with the main active ingredient - nimesulide. The drug does not affect the hemostasis system, which is responsible for maintaining the liquid state of the blood and for its normal functioning. Nimesulide blocks the action of prostaglandins, relieving inflammation.
The drug is prohibited during pregnancy and lactation, in the presence of hepatic and renal insufficiency, as well as under the age of 2 years.
Adults should not take more than 4 tablets per day if the dosage of one tablet is 50 mg. The tablet is taken before meals, not chewed, washed down with plenty of water.
Overdose symptoms: nausea, abdominal pain, skin rashes.
Ketorol
Ketorol belongs to the group of NSAIDs, has a pronounced analgesic effect. The main active ingredient is ketorolac promethamine. Ketorol is recommended for use with severe toothache.
Do not exceed the daily dose of 4 tablets of 10 mg for adults. Ketorol is not combined with other NSAIDs or with Paracetamol.
Contraindications for admission are the following conditions: disorders of the kidneys and liver, the period of bearing a child, the period of breastfeeding, children under 16 years of age.

The drug is used topically, applying up to 3 drops of the product to a cotton swab and applying cotton to the diseased tooth for up to 10 minutes.
Tablets during pregnancy
Taking any medications during pregnancy should be done with extreme caution, since most drugs are contraindicated at this time. Many of them are able to overcome the placental barrier and affect the development of the fetus. Therefore, to relieve toothache, pregnant women are recommended to use local remedies - mouthwash solutions, compresses. It is possible to take Paracetamol, but not more than 1 tablet.

There are two reasons for acute toothache. The first is the appearance and development of pulpitis, against which an inflammatory process develops in the nerves of the tooth. The second reason is in which the infection penetrates beyond the tooth itself, forming a purulent abscess at the roots. In the article we will tell you what pain reliever for toothache and how you can use it.
There is a special category that aims to reduce sensations by eliminating the inflammatory process. The second category relieves pain by blocking the entry of special pain nerve impulses into the brain. All drugs used in the process of eliminating toothache fall into three subcategories. These are strong painkillers capsules, tablets, Paracetamol and Aspirin preparations, antibiotics.
Painkillers
To relieve pain, you need to take drugs based on ketoprofen, ibuprofen, as well as nimesulide and ketorolac. These are the most effective medicinal non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that can cope with a fairly strong pain sensation.
- Nurofen. The most popular pain reliever, characterized by a strong effect. The drug is available in dosages of 200 and 400 mg. Tablets and capsules should not be used by pregnant women and children under 6 years of age. The drug is taken with caution in the presence of diseases of different parts of the intestine and stomach.
- Ketonal. This is a tool that has in its composition the main active ingredient ketoprofen. With severe pain, this is the most effective remedy. The agent is produced in a dosage of 100 and 150 mg, the larger the amount of the main component, the stronger the effect and duration of action. The drug is prohibited for use by pregnant women and children under 18 years of age. It is also not recommended to take painkillers for asthmatics and people with stomach diseases.
- or Ketorol. These are two preparations of the same composition that belong to the category of non-steroidal modern anti-inflammatory tablets. If you need to remove the pain syndrome, it is better not to find these treatments. You can take pills only in special extreme cases, when the pain becomes unbearable.
- or Nise. These are drugs on nimesulide. They have a strong analgesic effect and a minimum number of contraindications. You can take them with high and low intensity of pain.
So, with tolerable pain, it is worth using ibuprofen medications, for example, Nurofen. For high intensity pain, use Ketorolac or Nimesulide.
paracetamol for pain
Means do not act against the inflammatory process. Like modern analgesics made on the basis of standard NSAIDs, tablets prevent the transmission of pain impulses of varying intensity to the brain. The effect is that the pain doesn't go away - it's just that the brain doesn't recognize it.
Among the most popular drugs on Paracetamol, we highlight Panadol and Efferalgan. Taken by adults at a dosage of 500 mg per. In acute pain, the dosage can be doubled. The advantage of Paracetamol is the possibility of its use throughout pregnancy.
Aspirin and Analgesics
Aspirin and the well-known drugs help very well. These are affordable, fairly effective drugs. When used correctly, they quickly relieve pain. The usual single dosage of Analgin is 500 mg at a time. The drug should not be taken during pregnancy and lactation, as well as for people suffering from various forms of asthma and having diseases of the blood composition.
Aspirin is able to slightly weaken the general syndrome, as it is characterized by a mild anti-inflammatory effect.
Antibiotic treatment
Antibiotics directly target bacteria that are harmful to the body. With acute pain, drugs will not help, they do not block incoming impulses, they do not remove inflammation.
Antibiotics are taken if there is no acute pain and inflammation. If there is a slight discomfort and there is a willingness to tolerate it for a while, you can take a course of antibiotics.
Rinsing for toothache
If for some reason it is not possible to take pills for toothache, if there are certain contraindications, or if the right drug is simply not at hand, the discomfort can be removed with ordinary rinses. Decoctions of medicinal herbs will help to quickly cope with various negative sensations that an inflammatory process in the tooth area can cause.
Pharmacy funds
Very well help in the form of therapeutic rinsing, various inexpensive pharmaceutical products, infusions. You can buy regular ones. They consist of useful components such as camphor, mint, valerian. It is necessary to soak a piece of cotton wool with a medicinal composition and place it in the cavity of the affected tooth, in which a carious hole has formed. Repeat until the pain is completely gone. On average, a tampon is changed every 10 minutes, as it is quickly completely saturated with saliva and the overall analgesic effect is reduced.
For rinsing, you can use a decoction of sage, mint, eucalyptus, pharmaceutical root of calamus, St. John's wort, oregano and calendula. All herbal rinses should be cold or warm, as cold remedies will not have a positive effect.
For acute pain, a solution of 2% lidocaine can be used. You will need to take a cotton ball, moisten in this solution, attach to the aching tooth. You need to use 4-5 times a day. If the process of inflammation has passed to nearby tissues, it will not have an effect.
Essential oils
As a local anesthesia, you can use ordinary essential oils - sea buckthorn, fir or clove. The application here is exactly the same. A small piece of cotton wool is moistened in the prepared oil and applied to the tooth or adjacent gums. This is the ideal method to eliminate the pain of cutting teeth.
Simple pain reliever for toothache
A fairly effective remedy can be found in an ordinary kitchen. We are talking about baking soda and standard table salt. All these are natural anti-inflammatory antiseptics, various rinses with which reduce the total number of pathogenic microbes and allow you to remove severe tissue swelling.
To prepare a useful anti-inflammatory composition, you will need to take a teaspoon of each product, pour 200 ml of boiling water. As soon as the temperature of the resulting solution becomes slightly higher than room temperature, you can rinse.
On salt, experts advise one more to prepare an effective solution for pain. You need to take the following components:
- A large spoonful of salt.
- 10 ml of 10% ammonia.
- Pharmaceutical camphor alcohol in the amount of 10 grams.
Everything is very mixed in a liter of clean water at room temperature. In the resulting solution, a cotton pad is wetted and placed on the tooth. It is an ideal pain reliever and also relieves inflammation at the same time.
The use of alcohol
You can use a variety of tinctures for alcohol, which are at hand. The most important thing in the process of rinsing is not to swallow the product, it is enough just to hold the liquid in your mouth for a short time and spit it out. As alcohol tinctures, you can use not only pharmaceutical products, but also cognac, vodka.
Other effective remedies
If numerous carious inflammations are present, a small amount of clove oil can be dropped into the oral cavity. This is a fairly effective tool that is quite often used in the field of modern dentistry. If there is no clove oil on hand, but there is a common seasoning, you can use it by simply chewing a couple of sprigs of this magical remedy.
Folk remedies for toothache
Toothache is a rather serious problem that people have faced in all ages. Dental problems occur in everyone, regardless of age and social status. People who take care of their oral cavity and visit a specialist in a timely manner, as well as for preventive purposes, are much less likely to experience toothache.
Previously, there were no drugs, only natural folk remedies were used. There are many means, the action of which even scientists cannot explain. Here are the simplest and at the same time action methods of traditional medicine for toothache.
Pig fat treatment
This simple toothache pain reliever is one of those mysterious remedies. To relieve discomfort, restore the usual way of life, you will need to take a small piece of fat, put it between the cheek and the aching tooth. As a remedy, you need to use unsalted fat. You can use salty, washing thoroughly.
Rusty Nail
This is another exotic remedy for toothache. This item is used to prepare a special healing ointment. To get the remedy, you need to do the following: A rusty nail is taken, and the older, the better. The nail is heated to red. The item is placed in a saucepan, where ordinary linden honey was preheated. All this is heated until the mixture turns black, like tar.
Once the composition has cooled slightly, it can be used as a lubrication of the area around the diseased tooth. Pain sensations usually go away fairly quickly, but if an abscess or a purulent abscess has formed as a result of inflammation, the composition should be used for several days until the fistula opens. As soon as the pus is completely removed, all discomfort will disappear.
Garlic and onion
These products are in the refrigerator of each person. You need to take a piece of one of them to attach to the tooth. Garlic and onions are able to have an ideal antiseptic effect, therefore all pain and inflammation disappear very quickly.
Propolis for toothache
Propolis will help get rid of severe toothache. You can use the product in the form of plates or as an alcohol tincture. Simultaneously with the anti-inflammatory effect, the drug gives a strong anesthetic effect, therefore, literally after a couple of days of use, the pain in the area of the inflamed tooth completely disappears.
If an alcohol tincture is used, a few drops of it are poured into a glass of water and the resulting composition is rinsed. You can also simply moisten a cotton swab in the mixture and apply it to the cavity eaten away by caries.
Summing up
All painkillers presented to the attention should be used while waiting for a doctor's appointment. These funds and drugs will not eliminate caries and inflammation will appear again. All this is only a temporary effect, which does not exempt from visiting the dentist at all.
If none of the listed remedies helped, which happens quite often, if there is a pronounced swelling or a temperature rises, it is worth getting ready and going to a round-the-clock dental clinic. After removing the primary pain and inflammation, you need to make an appointment with a professional dentist, do not spare money and time for a complete and high-quality tooth treatment.

Are you familiar with toothache? This insidious signal indicates dental pathologies. Most of the inhabitants of the planet are faced with such unpleasant manifestations. Do not hope that the problem will disappear with complete inactivity. Dentists note: the longer the patient self-medicates, endures pain, tries to relieve the symptom in an amateurish way, the more serious the consequences will be.
A pain impulse or aching round-the-clock pain can be signs of completely different disorders.
Navigation
Why does toothache occur?
Enamel damage
Tooth sensitivity increases when the surface layer of enamel is damaged. In this case, the discomfort increases during eating with a sharp taste, reacts to cold and too hot food. Pain - 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 increases, but it worries moderately. 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 point to the source of discomfort. Pain delivers 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 spills over the gums, it is difficult to determine the exact source. Sensations are enhanced by chewing structured foods. There is reddening of the gum tissue and bleeding.
Injuries, consequences of treatment, growth of the last molars
With a mechanical impact, pain occurs immediately after the 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. Infection of tissues or incomplete cleaning of the carious cavity is also possible.
Particular pain, subsiding at times and reappearing, accompanies the eruption of the “wisdom tooth”, which injures the gum during growth.
With toothache of any etiology, it is prohibited:
- Warming up. Do not apply a heating pad or a warm compress - such measures will accelerate the development of abscesses.
- When rinsing, you can not take a cold or hot solution - additional irritation will provoke a new attack.
- Applying randomly selected herbs or painkillers to the sore spot can complicate the situation. And, if the tooth is damaged, then its unprofessional processing will cause serious problems: the pain will increase, the inflammation will progress, the onset of sepsis is possible.
Pills will help the patient for a while. Medicines are divided into several subgroups, each of which will be the best choice in different situations. During a preventive examination, the dentist should ask what emergency measures will be safe in your case.
Analgesics: effective pills for toothache
Nuance: painkillers do not cure! They only temporarily relieve pain. The problem remains. If you do not start looking for the cause of a toothache, then at best an urgent tooth extraction will be required. As severe complications, suppuration, destruction of bone tissue are considered - then surgical intervention under general anesthesia is indicated.
General rule: do not exceed the dose of painkillers. The intake of a large amount of active substances into the body can provoke allergic reactions, gastrointestinal dysfunction, 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. It has analgesic and antispastic action. The medicine is not recommended for children under 15 years of age, pregnant women, patients with bronchial asthma and those who suffer from impaired hematopoiesis.
Tempalgin
It soothes aching toothache, but is powerless before acute attacks with pulpitis and periodontitis, it only muffles strong pulsating bursts. The main active ingredient is purified metamizole sodium. The drug is included in the course of therapy, in combination with a number of antispasmodics.
Additionally, the drug has a sedative effect: eliminates anxiety. This is facilitated by tempidon, which is able to somewhat lower blood pressure. Therefore, the drug should be used with caution in hypotensive patients. Substances reinforce each other.
The calming effect is noticeable after half an hour, and the painkiller - after about an hour. Progressive dentists consider the remedy somewhat outdated, since it resembles analgin, popular in the middle of the last century. But its democratic cost and effectiveness in uncomplicated situations contribute to the popularity of the drug.
Spazmalgon
The drug remains one of the most popular drugs that relieve attacks of pain of various etiologies, including dental ones. When the remedy begins to act, the muscle tissue relaxes, the 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 should not take more than 5 tablets per day. The maximum possible reception period is 3 days. For adolescents weighing 30 to 50 kg, a single dose is 1 tablet. The minimum pause between the use of spasmalgon is 4 hours.
Solpadein
Available in the form of capsules and tablets for oral use, there are soluble options. It is positioned as a drug with enhanced analgesic action. As part of the drug - paracetamol, caffeine, as well as contributing to the speedy cessation of cough during colds, codeine phosphate hemihydrate.
Each of the designated 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 agent. A prescription is not required to purchase.
Homeopathic preparations are effective: Aconite, Coffee, Arnica.
If allergic reactions, arrhythmia, tachycardia, dizziness occur, taking any painkillers should be stopped.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are pills for severe toothache.
The latest generation of pain medications can not only relieve the irritating symptom, but also act as anti-inflammatory agents.
Ketanov
Ketanov is sold in tablets or injectable solutions without a prescription. This unique powerful analgesic will help relieve severe pain and will be useful in the postoperative period. It helps after a 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 there is no drowsiness and apathy, the drug does not affect the business activity of a person.
The composition of the drug includes 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, the deep tissues of the gums do not produce prostaglandins, which are catalysts for inflammatory processes and the "culprits" of the pain syndrome. Complete relief occurs in 30-40 minutes.
A toothache is stopped, and other accompanying unpleasant sensations are removed: itching, burning, aching in the jaw. Within 7 hours, you can relax and forget about the pain, you can re-take the medicine when the symptoms resume.
The drug is able to have an analgesic, moderate antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effect. If you temporarily avoid stress on the problem area, 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 the accompanying discomfort. The drug is available in different dosages, designed for different age groups. Suppositories, tasty suspensions and syrups for younger patients, traditional or effervescent tablets can be purchased at the pharmacy without a prescription.
The active substance is ibuprofen, which is one of the best non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Its effectiveness is explained simply: the components act directly on the focus of inflammation 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, adverse reactions are rare.
The drug has many analogues from the NSAID group with similar characteristics: Ibuprofen, Profen, Profinal, Solpaflex, Markofen. Each of the funds has additional characteristics or limitations, so before using the drug, you need to carefully read the instructions.
Nimesil
OTC drug, the active substance is nimesulide. Both dosed powders and tablet forms are popular. This medicine will be an excellent helper, relieving any manifestations of toothache, aching 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 and will relieve painful suffering for a long time. The action begins within half an hour, the next dose is desirable only after 12 hours.
Effective analogues: Nise, Nimesulide, Nemulex, Aponil.
Dexalgin
Its basis is dexketoprofen. Do not take more than 3 tablets per day, because the drug 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 of age. Quickly relieves the condition with severe impulse toothaches.
How to temporarily "freeze" the painful area of \u200b\u200bthe gums
Modern dentistry has a large set 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 hold out for several hours before being admitted to the clinic.
There are a number of sprays that can relieve gum and tooth sensitivity.
- Lidocaine- an excellent local drug, 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, and a reaction is not formed. Standardly available in cans, has a concentration of 10%, the effect requires 2-3 sprays. Mint oil (pepper), propylene glycol acts as additional components. Lidocaine is contraindicated for allergy sufferers, people with serious diseases of the cardiovascular system.
- Givalex bacteriostatic effect on pathogenic microflora. It will help to anesthetize the gum area near the problem tooth due to the presence of chlorbutanol 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:
- Metrogil 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 eat and drink after 30-40 minutes.
- Kamistad. The combined local anesthetic is also an anti-inflammatory agent. It contains lidocaine, so the creation of a pain impulse is blocked. When processing the site, a temporary loss of sensitivity occurs in the tissues. Dentists prescribe a gel for stomatitis, gingivitis, teething (including milk teeth), it is possible to use the gel as a short-term aid before a visit to the doctor.
- Dentol recommended for children and adults. Well tolerated by patients of all ages. The action of the gel begins a 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 women
During the period of bearing a child, it is very responsible to approach the process of treatment and selection of drugs. If discomfort is felt, then it is wiser to limit yourself to rinsing with soda, chamomile decoction. Or apply a compress based on diluted honey to the cheek.
When the pain is tiring and becomes unbearable, it is possible to use no-shpa as an antispasmodic before consulting a doctor. Dentists also recommend papaverine to relieve spasms. The dosage should not exceed that specified in the instructions.
Paracetamol, which is part of many NSAIDs, will have an anti-inflammatory and mild analgesic effect. These tablets do not affect the development of the fetus, soothe irritated tissues. But with severe pain, the pills are ineffective. In an acute case, you should go to the emergency dental clinic for a consultation with 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 pick up another drug based on Ibuprofen.
The use of tooth drops that act locally is shown. It is advisable to consult with your doctor about the dosage and duration of the course.
If the case is serious, the pain is barely tolerable, then a single use of Ketanov is allowed from the second trimester. Until the 3rd trimester, you can take its analogue Ketorol.
Medicines for toothache in childhood
Teething pain can be relieved with special gels recommended by the doctor. The use of Dentol is acceptable. If problems arose in children of school age, then the use of Kamistad gel is allowed.
Nise or another Ibuprofen-based drug should be chosen at an adapted dosage. Children's teas or syrups are produced. Nurofen will help during severe toothache, will have an anti-inflammatory effect during the period when milk or molars erupt. Also, irritation, mild 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 (a table spoon in a glass of boiling water).
The use of tooth 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 drug. Therefore, solutions from effervescent tablets and powdered teas act faster. The assimilation of such a drug occurs quickly, the action begins just a few minutes after ingestion.
- Solpadein and Solpadein Active - analgesics and antipyretics. Approved for use by adolescents over 12 years of age 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 and babies weighing less than 13 kg. One dose dissolves in a glass of water. Half a tablet is enough for preschoolers. The therapeutic effect is high, complete anesthesia is achieved in 10-20 minutes.
- Effervescent tablets Nurofen with caution can be used even by pregnant women. Medicine for children over 6 years old is allowed. The dosage is indicated in the instructions for the drug.
- Next, a film-coated tablet formulation, contains ibuprofen plus paracetamol. Therefore, it works quickly and efficiently.
- Powder Nimesil dissolves in warm water, acts quickly, blocks receptors that perceive 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, Mepivastezin will act quickly, the patient will lose sensitivity after 10 minutes.
Any pain pills, sprays or ointments eliminate the symptom for a while. To remove the underlying causes of pain, these drugs are powerless. Therefore, dentists urge responsible patients not to delay the solution of the problem! If you endure pain for several days, then serious complications are likely to occur. Dentists note that the chances of saving a tooth are greater if you consult a doctor immediately after you feel discomfort. Soreness can be the result of the manifestation of neuralgia or arthrosis - such ailments should be treated without delay, using specialized medicines. Long-term use of analgesics can only complicate the situation, and the disease will become chronic.
The ability to feel pain is vital for every person - it is a signal for action, indicating that something has gone wrong in the body. As a rule, the spontaneous appearance of pain is a kind of indicator of unwanted changes in the body, and its intensity determines the severity of these changes. And toothache here is no exception to the rule - it should be taken precisely as a signal for immediate action, so it is useful for each person to know what to do when a tooth hurts badly.
Generally speaking, a tooth can start to hurt for various reasons: due to caries, pulpitis, periodontitis, periostitis, etc. Often, even inflammation of the gums provokes a toothache. The most striking example is the difficult eruption of the wisdom tooth, when the gum becomes inflamed and swollen so much that the pain radiates to neighboring teeth, and sometimes even to the ear or throat.
Diseases of the teeth of carious and non-carious origin also determine the different nature of pain. For example, the most severe pain most often occurs due to structural changes in the soft tissues inside the tooth - the pulp.
The pulp is a neurovascular bundle, which consists of a huge number of nerve cells. With inflammation and destruction of this tissue, such acute and severe pains can occur that a person literally cannot find a place for himself.
Unfortunately, not everyone makes the right decision about what they should do when a toothache appears: someone waits to the last and endures, someone swallows pills in the hope that everything will “resolve” by itself. There are many cases when people wait unreasonably long for the eruption of a wisdom tooth, although such waiting against the background of severe inflammation can be very dangerous in terms of the development of severe complications.
What to do if a toothache causes a severe headache?
Indeed, a toothache can sometimes radiate to the head, thereby provoking a severe migraine. Usually such pains have short-term "shooting" character. However, with “crooked” growing wisdom teeth, which, due to their incorrect position in the gum, damage the roots of adjacent teeth during their growth, the headache can be permanent, becoming chronic. In such cases, the wisdom tooth that provokes it should be disposed of as soon as possible, after which the headache quickly disappears.
Sometimes a headache is associated with the presence of deep caries in the tooth. As soon as the tooth is properly treated, the headache will pass.
Possible causes of toothache
Suppose you have a toothache and you don’t know what to do: either endure a couple of days, in the hope that the pain will go away on its own, or it’s better to make an appointment with the dentist right away ... Therefore, let's talk about the possible root causes of toothache and the mechanisms of its appearance, understanding of which will help to make the right decision in different situations.
So, let's start with pain, which are characteristic signs of caries. Already in the initial forms of caries, a feeling of soreness and increased sensitivity of foci of enamel demineralization (that is, areas of enamel with partially washed out mineral components) may appear. At this stage, in order to prevent further destruction of hard tissues, it would be necessary to undergo a course of remineralizing therapy as soon as possible (at least use remineralizing toothpastes).
However, severe pain can appear only when the carious destruction reaches the enamel-dentin border - this causes sensitivity of the tooth tissues to various stimuli (cold, sweet, etc.). In such situations, to quickly get rid of discomfort, it is enough to simply eliminate the irritant, and the pain will immediately pass. However, of course, for a full-fledged treatment, it will no longer be possible to do without a filling.
Pain in medium and deep caries occurs due to the fact that the dentin layer is penetrated by many dentinal tubules that nourish the tooth and determine its sensitivity (and also have a certain connection with the dental “nerve”). When the dentin layer is destroyed, something like a dentinal “wound” appears, which reacts to the action of stimuli.
Question to the dentist: “Why does the tooth hurt under the old filling, and what should be done in such a situation?”
If the seal was placed more than 5-7 years ago, then significant shrinkage (punching) of the seal is possible. At the same time, its adhesion to the edges of the tooth is disturbed, therefore, with a “live” pulp, it sometimes painfully feels an irritant (cold, hot).
A tooth that has been sealed in the canals for a long time with a high-quality sealed filling usually does not bother if there were no errors during treatment. If the old filling ceases to meet the requirements of tightness, or even flies out in pieces, then the dead tooth begins to hurt due to infection in the already sealed canals. In addition, mistakes could be made during the treatment: an incompletely sealed canal with an infection left in it, a broken dental instrument in the canal, etc. All this can also cause inflammation at the root of the tooth and pain over time.
In any case, if there is pain in the tooth under the old filling, you should immediately consult a dentist, as this is a sure sign of the development of pathological processes.
Now let's see what to do with pain in the tooth with pulpitis.
In acute pulpitis, the neurovascular bundle inside the tooth undergoes catastrophic changes. Inflammation arising from the action of microbes and their toxins on the living tissue of the "nerve" causes its swelling and gradual necrosis.
It is not difficult to imagine this: the pulp gradually begins to "swell", increasing in size, and when the pulp chamber is not opened, it is strongly pressed against the inner walls. Nerve endings are compressed, and acute pain occurs, which can only be relieved by strong painkillers.
Thus, with pulpitis, in most cases, canal treatment will be required, that is, a simple filling will no longer be enough here.
This is interesting: why sometimes after installing arsenic in a tooth there is a sharp pain, and what should be done to prevent this from happening?
Doctors of the old school still continue to put arsenic paste, and legends and myths about a terrible dental monster named Arsenic appear among the people. If you correctly complete all the stages of setting the paste and withstand the necessary time it is in the tooth, then there will be no direct toxic (negative) effect leading to severe toothache.
However, in practice, it is difficult to control the process of finding a substance in the tooth by the hour, especially since the dosage of the paste is also very arbitrary (head of a spherical bur No. 1). Many dentists are still wondering, even if they have seen or know what size this head is, how realistic it is to determine its volume for each individual patient and his tooth.
A study by scientists on the effects of arsenic acid on the tissue around the root revealed the risks of developing serious inflammatory processes, up to cysts, which often leads to tooth extraction. It is for these numerous reasons that it is easier to abandon arsenic even in budget dentistry.
In addition, sometimes by mistake the paste is installed on an unopened pulp chamber. As a result, the arsenic-containing compound through the left layer of dentin cannot quickly kill the dental “nerve”, however, thanks to the dentinal tubules, it actively irritates it, which causes severe toothache. What to do in such a situation? – to get to your doctor for an appointment as soon as possible, without waiting for the appointed time.
Folk remedies for toothache, and in what cases they can be used
What to do if a toothache caught you by surprise - for example, during a business trip, or during long holidays? If it is not possible to get to the dentist in the near future, then you can temporarily help yourself on your own.
Traditional methods of getting rid of toothache have been known for a long time. Unfortunately, not all of them are equally effective, but in some cases they can provide some effect.
One of the popular remedies is rinsing the mouth with warm sage decoction. One tablespoon of sage should be poured into a glass of boiling water, and insist for an hour. Rinse with solution every 10-15 minutes.
The anti-inflammatory effect of sage has long been known. It can also be used in cases where the gums are swollen, a flux has appeared, and also when a wisdom tooth erupts and the pain radiates along the branches of the nerve to the ear, temple or back of the head. During rinsing, it is important to use a warm, almost hot solution and keep it exactly near the diseased tooth or gum to enhance the healing effect.
On a note
Rinsing can also be done with tea, as long as the warming comes from the inside. It is impossible to heat a tooth from the outside! There have been cases when, the night before a meeting with a dentist, people warmed a diseased tooth using a heating battery or a bottle of hot water as a heating pad. When, after such a procedure, the cheek swelled to an incredible size overnight, only maxillofacial surgeons could help.
There is one among them: you need to put a piece of propolis on a tooth or in a carious cavity, close your mouth and hold for 15-20 minutes. It is believed that pain comes already in the first minutes of the action of this folk medicine, known to our ancestors. However, in practice, this technique helps only in very rare cases.
A few more rather funny folk methods for relieving toothache:
- Squat. Active physical activity has been seen to improve blood circulation and help relieve pain. In practice, squats will not help in every case.
- Apply garlic to your wrist. In the relevant literary sources, it is recommended to tightly fix the gruel of fresh garlic with a plaster to the wrist, which is opposite to the diseased tooth. To prevent a burn, put a bandage or a thick cloth under the garlic. In practice, the method is inefficient.
- Warm up your feet in hot water. This procedure is not only a distraction from pain maneuver. With increased blood circulation in the body during the leg steaming procedure, metabolism improves and toxins are removed from the dental pulp faster: you need to lower your legs into hot water and keep them that way for at least 15 minutes. Then you should put on warm socks and go to bed. In some cases, this method really works.
The simplest and most effective way to get rid of a toothache at home is, perhaps, warm rinsing with a solution of soda and salt. It is only important to rinse with an almost hot solution and very often, about once every 10-15 minutes, repeating the procedure for 1-2 hours.
Toothache Medicines: Your First Aid Kit
Now let's see what can be done in cases where painkillers are at hand.
Some of the most popular painkillers among the population are the following:
- Nise;
- Nurofen;
- Pentalgin;
- Ketanov;
- Analgin;
And some others.
The most powerful of these drugs is Ketanov (he also has analogues - Ketorol, Ketorolac). But it is better not to use Analgin - it has long been banned in many developed countries due to its side effects.
What to do if a molar tooth staggers and hurts?
Tooth mobility can occur for various reasons, but most often it is a consequence of periodontitis - inflammation of the gums with a violation of the periodontal attachment. In this case, to reduce soreness of the gums, you can take gels that relieve inflammation and (or) anesthetize the gums during the growth of milk teeth in children. Such funds include, for example, Kamistad, Holisal, Kalgel, Solocoseryl, etc. These gels sometimes do not last long (30-40 minutes), but this is enough to gain time and seek professional help from a dentist.
What would a dentist do?
To get professional help for toothache, you should contact your dentist. Let's next look at some clinical cases and options for appropriate treatment.
What to expect at a dentist appointment if the tooth hurts due to carious destruction?..
If the tooth hurts only from the action of external stimuli (cold, sweet, hot, sour), and the pulp inside it is not touched by the inflammatory process, then the doctor will clean the carious cavity with or without anesthesia, wash it with antiseptics and seal it. Such a tooth is usually treated in one visit.
What will the doctor do if the pain in the tooth is the result of pulpitis?
If, for example, due to deep caries, the dental “nerve” is infected, then the doctor will treat such a tooth in one or several visits. First, anesthesia is done, the pulp chamber is opened with a drill, the “nerve” is removed, the channels inside the root are cleaned, washed, sealed, and a filling is also placed on top of the tooth.
If severe toothache is associated with periodontitis ...
With inflammation at the root, periodontitis develops. At the same time, there is a dead pulp or its remains in the canals of the tooth, and the purulent contents of the canal in the acute form of the disease rush towards the gums, which causes severe pain in the tooth, which cannot even be touched.
Providing emergency care for acute periodontitis is an important task of the dentist. To do this, the doctor opens the channel and leaves it open for the exit of pus, prescribing soda and salt rinses. It is possible to treat and seal canals in one visit: for this it is important to create ideal sterility in the canals, securely seal them and, if indicated, prescribe antibiotics.
What to do if the wisdom tooth hurts and the gums around it are swollen?
With difficulty in the eruption of the wisdom tooth in the gum, severe pain occurs (under the so-called gum hood), which can spread to the jaw, cheek, throat, and ear. Home rinses can only temporarily soothe such pain, but will not eliminate the problem, so you need to go to the clinic - usually an maxillofacial surgeon or a dental surgeon comes to the rescue.
Modern studies have shown that excision of the gingival hood brings only temporary well-being, and can lead to serious complications (cellulitis, sepsis), up to death. The only way to prevent any risks and save a person from pain is to remove a problematic wisdom tooth.
Why can a dead tooth hurt
A tooth is called dead if there is no pulp in it (it has died or been removed). It would seem that then why hurt - after all, the dental "nerve" is no longer able to perform its function ...
With periodontitis, the “nerve” really dies: however, then it begins to decompose right here. Pus rushes to the root of the tooth, the tissues surrounding the root become inflamed and swollen, which provokes a terrible toothache.
There is also another situation. After root canal treatment, the tooth is considered “dead”, and normally should not hurt. In some cases, an insignificant one is allowed, which is called post-filling. Usually it lasts no more than 1-2 weeks and has a mandatory tendency to decrease every day.
Otherwise, severe pain that does not go away after root canal treatment, swelling of the gums, redness, fever and deterioration in general well-being indicate the presence of some serious problem - in this situation, you need to consult a doctor again.
Complications during and after canal treatment are most often provoked by the dentist due to poor professional training, lack of experience, or equipment and materials in the clinic. Most often, pain after canal filling occurs for the following reasons:
- with excessive removal of the filling material beyond the root;
- when you skip a channel or channels in the tooth;
- with poor channel processing;
- due to violations during the passage and expansion of intracanal instruments;
- due to poor quality filling;
- due to an allergy to the filling material;
In most clinical cases, after the elimination of the mistake made during the treatment, the pain in the tooth or in the gum around it quickly disappears.
In what cases a tooth may have to be parted?
As mentioned above, difficult eruption of the wisdom tooth (pericoronitis) is the first indication for tooth extraction according to the modern approach to dental health. Of course, you can always persuade the doctor to make you only an incision in the gum hood, but where is the guarantee that the tooth “does not climb crookedly”, its roots do not intertwine with the roots of neighboring teeth, that the hood will not grow again, and inflammation will not continue again.
With pulpitis, teeth should always be preserved, but periodontitis is a special topic. Acute forms of periodontitis are easier to treat, which cannot be said about the possibility of saving teeth with cysts. However, cysts are also different from cysts, therefore, in each case, the prognosis of the disease, the prospect of treatment and the value of the tooth in the dentition and bite in general are determined.
Periostitis, osteomyelitis, abscesses, phlegmon and other odontogenic (from the tooth) pronounced purulent processes often determine the indications for removal. If the tooth is inflamed roots close to or in the maxillary sinus itself, then we are almost always talking about the removal of the tooth to stop the sinus feeding with infection.
Is it true that bad upper teeth provoke a chronic runny nose?
Few people know that sinusitis is often provoked by bad teeth or residual infection in poorly treated canals. That is why ENT doctors always ask to take an X-ray and look at the roots of the upper teeth, which are close to the maxillary sinus. Any upper diseased tooth after the canine (the third tooth) can cause a problem, but most often it is the premolars (fourth and fifth) and the first molar (sixth). Often, a chronic runny nose disappears immediately after finding and treating such a sick tooth.
- Do not eat too many sweets and related culinary products (cakes, pastries).
- Do not forget to use a toothbrush with toothpaste at least 2-3 times a day for a comprehensive cleansing and strengthening of the enamel.
- Do not ignore the fluoride-impregnated dental floss, which ideally cleans the interdental spaces from food debris.
Take care of your teeth and be healthy!

How to get rid of acute toothache
If a toothache caught you at work, at night or on a holiday, we will tell you how to relieve this symptom and comfortably wait for an appointment with the dentist by choosing the appropriate drug for severe or moderate dentalgia.
But do not forget that dentistry is a field of medicine where pharmacological treatment is practically not used. And there is only one cure for toothache - the elimination of the source of infection in the diseased tooth by surgery, followed by its restoration with artificial materials.
Painkillers: the opinion of dentists
Dentists are not particularly fond of painkillers: when conducting a simple dental procedure, they suggest doing without it and, if possible, use methods of dental treatment without a drill.
This is due to the pharmacodynamics of analgesics. By inhibiting the production of "pain enzymes", prostaglandins at the site of inflammation, analgesics simultaneously affect other organs and systems of our body, which leads to side effects:
- violation of water-salt metabolism, due to which excess fluid accumulates in the body;
- jumps in blood pressure;
- change in the threshold of pain sensitivity;
- dehydration of the mucous membranes of the eyes, deterioration of vision;
- increased risk of blood clots, bleeding disorders.
For this reason, we recommend starting the fight against toothache with rinsing with a solution of salt or soda (1 tsp per glass of warm water), and only then start taking the tablets.
Tablets for mild to moderate dental pain
Taking a loading dose of an analgesic reduces the threshold of pain sensitivity: for example, during the next attack, the painkiller may be ineffective, and the anesthetic injection may not work.
In order not to harm yourself before the inevitable trip to the dentist, it is advisable to limit yourself to taking one of the drugs for mild to moderate toothache. They will help relieve an attack in chronic pulpitis, gum disease and caries.
Paracetamol
Inexpensive, safe and effective pain reliever, non-narcotic analgesic.
Paracetamol (acetaminophen) blocks pain receptors at the level of the nervous system and does not affect pain centers in the brain. This means that it does not have a side effect characteristic of mega-powerful painkillers - it does not depress breathing and does not affect the functioning of the heart.
A tablet of paracetamol will relieve you of aching pain in the tooth with medium and deep caries.
ibuprofen
Analogues: Nurofen, Imet
Tablets from dentalgia from the group of NSAIDs - non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition to analgesic, they also have an anti-inflammatory effect. Ibuprofen will help with toothache, accompanied by hyperthermia and inflammation of the periodontal tissues.
Aching pain will be relieved by one tablet with 200 mg of the active ingredient, ibuprofen. If necessary, the dose is increased to 400 mg, but not more than 800 mg per day.
Citramon
Analogues: Askofen, Excedrin
The pill "from the head", which can be found in every first aid kit, will help with toothache too!
Citramon contains paracetamol and aspirin, mutually reinforcing the analgesic effect of each other, plus caffeine, which will tone the blood vessels and relieve drowsiness - a side effect of analgesics.
With dentalgia, it is recommended to take 2 tablets of Citramon at once. But this drug is strictly forbidden to be combined with alcohol and alcohol-containing tinctures: even a few grams of alcohol with Citramon, Askofen or Excedrin can provoke gastric bleeding.
Aspirin
One of the most popular painkillers in everyday life: according to studies, about 80 billion aspirin tablets are consumed annually in the world!
Acetylsalicylic acid, unlike other NSAIDs, acts on the very problematic area in the tooth, focally - reduces the severity of inflammation and relieves pain. Her pills will relieve unpleasant symptoms in case of pulpitis, inflammation of the neurovascular bundle of the tooth.
A combination of two analgesics at once - paracetamol and diclofenac, which enhances the analgesic effect. Fanigan, among other things, also has a decongestant effect: it unloads collagen and fibrin fibers, which swell during inflammation.
Fanigan tablet can be taken with dentalgia, accompanied by swelling of the soft tissues of the face, as well as with an increase in lymph nodes and sore throat caused by the eruption of the 8th wisdom tooth.
Analgesic tablets are made on the basis of acids, and most of them irritate the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, before taking an anesthetic, it is advisable to eat something, if the tooth hurts a lot - “put” at least yogurt on the bottom of the stomach.
Extra remedies for severe toothache
Heavy artillery of painkillers - tablets Ketanov, Nimesulide, Tempalgin and Flamidez, should be used only in extreme cases, when the toothache is really unbearable. For example, with acute pulpitis and periodontitis, inflammation of the trigeminal nerve - diseases that are characterized by bouts of pulsating, severe dentalgia at night.
Ketanov
Analogues: Ketorol, Dolac, Ketalgin, Toradol
One of the strongest painkillers, ketorolac (the active substance of Ketan tablets) is used in the postoperative period, for injuries and severe toothache caused by periodontitis, pericoronitis or pulpitis.
Like other NSAIDs, ketorolac blocks the production of pain enzymes - prostaglandins, but slows down the kidneys. Less blood is filtered and more harmful substances accumulate in the body, so people with kidney failure should not take Ketanov.
A single dose of the drug - 1 tablet of 10 mg, with severe pain, take every 4-6 hours, but not more than 90 mg, 9 tablets per day.
Tempalgin
Analogues: Analgin, Baralgin
The active substance of the "green tablets" - metamizole sodium, has a strong analgesic and weak anti-inflammatory effect.
Tempalgin also contains a tranquilizer - a sedative tempidon, which will help you relax and fall asleep after a debilitating attack of toothache at night.
By the way, metamizole sodium does not irritate the gastric mucosa and does not affect the water-salt metabolism in the body. Therefore, it is suitable for the elderly and patients prone to gastrointestinal disorders.
Flamidez
A combined drug from the NSAID group, consists of the analgesics diclofenac and paracetamol, as well as a decongestant - serratiopeptidase.
Flamidez has a powerful analgesic, anti-inflammatory effect, helps relieve swelling. Flamidez tablets are prescribed by dentists to relieve pain after tooth extraction, in the complex therapy of alveolar abscesses, purulent inflammation in the root periosteum.
Dosage - 1 tablet twice or thrice a day.
Analogues: Nise, Nimid
Synthetic drug from the group of NSAIDs with strong analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties.
Nimesulide tablet can be drunk in case of acute pain, with a night attack of dentalgia, after tooth extraction and radiating pain with inflammation of the trigeminal nerve.
The drug does not have a toxic effect with prolonged use, it is often prescribed to the elderly. The exception is patients with heart failure, bronchial asthma and liver disease - they should not take Nimesulide.
All strong analgesics are prohibited for children under the age of 14, pregnant and lactating women.
It is impossible to experiment and combine the intake of several drugs per day - for example, Aspirin tablets, and after 4 hours Ketanov, according to the principle "which is more effective" is impossible! This can cause hepatic coma and disruption of the kidneys.
Prices
If the budget for “symptomatic therapy” is running out, take pills from the “list of essential and vital medicines of the Russian Federation”: Paracetamol (about 40 rubles), Ibuprofen (38 rubles), Acetylsalicylic acid (from 20 rubles) or Ketorolac (26 rubles).
Drugs from foreign manufacturers will cost more: Nise - from 200 rubles, Aspirin Cardio - from 80 rubles, Tempalgin - 130 rubles, Ketanov - about 60 rubles, Nurofen - 90 rubles.
All drugs have contraindications. Before use, carefully read the instructions and consult a doctor.
An analgesic will relieve you of a toothache for several hours, but will not eliminate its cause. Only a good dentist can do this. We recommend that you contact him in order to avoid the repetition of even more severe attacks of dentalgia.
