It is suggested that the best thing to do when you have a toothache is to find out the cause quickly and completely cure the source of the toothache. But when you don't have time to go to the dentist, you can use the following methods to relieve your toothache first.

1. Rinse your mouth: If the vegetable scraps get stuck between your teeth, take a sip of water (the temperature is close to your body temperature) and rinse your mouth vigorously. Invalid, you can use dental floss to remove it, but don't hurt your gums.

2. Massage hands: Take an ice cube and press it on the "V" zone connecting the thumb and forefinger bone for 5 to 7 minutes. Canadian researchers found that this method can interfere with the impulse conduction of toothache nerves.

3. Be kind to injured teeth: If toothache is caused by teeth being hit by external force, try not to touch that part when eating. If the tooth is slightly injured, let it rest completely for a while, and the chewing function can be restored.

4. Ice compress: Just like treating bruises, ice compress the cheek closest to the toothache. Apply for 15 minutes each time, at least 3 to 4 times a day.

5. Don't open your mouth: Cold air will feel toothache when it comes into contact with unhealthy teeth, so control your mouth shape every time you speak. When singing karaoke, you'd rather be out of tune than open your mouth.

6. Take aspirin: It is a bad treatment to put aspirin directly on the painful gums when you have a toothache. If you want to achieve analgesic effect, you should take an aspirin every 4 to 6 hours.

7. Avoid hyperthermia: Hot compress may relieve toothache, but if the teeth are infected, hot compress will spread the infection to other parts.
