There is an old saying in China that toothache is not a disease, the pain is really terrible. From this sentence, everyone can know that toothache is a very painful thing, so everyone will think of some ways to relieve related symptoms. So when you have toothache, can you use salt water to rinse your mouth? Or can gargling with salt water cure toothache?

Generally, the cause of toothache in people can be local gum inflammation. If this is the case, you can use an appropriate amount of salt water to rinse your mouth, because salt water has certain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Doing this can relieve everyone’s toothache symptoms to a certain extent. However, in addition to local gum inflammation causing everyone's toothache, it may also be caused by pulpitis or periodontitis. In this case, gargling with salt water will not relieve the symptoms well, or it may be useless. If you have toothache symptoms due to periodontitis or pulpitis, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time and take appropriate treatment plans after the doctor's diagnosis, so as to cure the root cause and ensure everyone's oral health.

In addition, everyone should also know that although gargling with salt water has anti-inflammatory and sterilizing effects, it can only relieve toothache caused by some causes. You must not use salt water gargle to treat your own toothache. Doing so is likely to delay treatment and cause serious damage to your oral health.
