If you suddenly have a toothache, it goes without saying that you need to go to the dentist, as this is never a good sign. But what should you do if it happens to you during the night or on vacation?
There are simple ways and means that will make the pain go away.
Most often we resort to analgesics, but ice (keep it on the cheek for 15 minutes), then salt (one teaspoon) dissolved in a glass of warm water (rinse your mouth with it) has also proven to be effective, and a mixture of baking soda and water gives a similar result.
You can also pour two teaspoons of sage, mint or chamomile, depending on what you have at home, with a glass of boiling water and, when it is standing, rinse your mouth with this liquid.
Everything can be easily applied to a child who complains of a toothache, and adults have one more solution - to swish alcohol in their mouth until the painful area becomes numb, reports Novosti.
