How to Treat Inflamed Abscessed Toothache?

The most definitive answer to the question of how to relieve an infected toothache is a dentist's intervention. In the presence of an infected abscessed tooth, the first thing to do is to see a dentist immediately.

The following practices do not necessarily mean that they will relieve an infected toothache. In fact, they may not work at all.

If it is not possible to go to the dentist immediately, to relieve an infected toothache;

* Gargling with salt water; can be good for an infected toothache by cleaning the area.  A gargle can be made by adding a teaspoon of salt to a glass of warm water. The cleansing properties of salt water can relieve pain as it cleans the decayed area.

* Applying cold to the area can relieve pain as it slows down metabolic activity in the area. Ice cubes wrapped in a napkin or cloth should be gently pressed against the cheek in the inflamed area.

* Taking painkillers can help relieve pain from an inflamed tooth. Painkillers should definitely be used in moderation, as stated on the leaflet.

There may be painkillers such as Apranax, Cataflam, Majezik, Arveles, but most of the time painkillers do not help much.

If the cause of the pain is a rotten tooth, crushing a clove and putting it inside the tooth can also be a very quick solution.

Important: Never put aspirin-like drugs, baking soda, hydraulic oil, etc. inside the tooth in order to relieve the pain of an inflamed, abscessed tooth.
