First aid ambulance for toothache.

Toothache is one of the most insidious and difficult to bear types of pain. Few can boast of ignorance of the sensations of toothache, but even fewer people understand what can and cannot be done when a toothache hurts, and not to get to the dentist urgently.

Toothache is very deceiving:

  • A tooth in the upper jaw may hurt, but it will seem that a tooth in the lower jaw hurts.
  • A toothache can radiate (give) to the jaw, and, curiously, not at all to the one on which the problem tooth is located, as well as to the muscles of the face, to the eye socket, to the ear, to the temple, simulate a headache, pain in the jaw joint, and even neck pain.
  • It may seem that the tooth hurts, but in fact the circular ligament of the tooth is just injured, for example, when food gets into the periodontal pocket (between the tooth and the adjacent edge of the mucous membrane) and exerts pressure.
  • A toothache can mimic a pressure sore under the intermediate part of a fixed bridge or a pressure sore that has formed under a filling that has moved out of its bed and sits on the mucous membrane in the gap around the tooth.

For an ignorant person, there is no way to determine the true cause of toothache. Toothache may be associated not only with the destruction of the coronal part of the tooth and the proximity of the pulp (nerve), which begins to respond to mechanical pressure when biting or tapping on the tooth and temperature changes, but also with purulent processes occurring in the thickness of the alveolar ridge of the jaw ( places where the teeth are located).

Given such a variety of causes of toothache (seeming or real), it is very difficult to provide yourself with adequate assistance before the doctor professionally deals with this.

There are several universal ways to reduce pain in the framework of temporary first aid for toothache (carried out in stages):

  • Qualitatively clean the dentition from food debris using dental floss, not a brush - dental floss will allow food lumps to be removed from the interdental spaces and thereby remove the pressure of food debris on the mucous membrane in the area where the edge of the gums adheres to the tooth and from the periodontal pocket, if the pieces of food have had time get into it. If there are fixed dentures in the oral cavity, use a toothpick to clean the rinsing part of the prosthesis from food debris (the one that is adjacent to the gum with missing teeth).
  • After that, rinse with a solution of soda (a flat teaspoon per 200 ml of room temperature water) every hour and rinse with any antiseptics acceptable for oral use (including a weak aqueous solution of potassium permanganate, furacilin, propolis, alcohol). In the absence of specialized antiseptic agents, make a herbal rinse infusion from plants with natural antiseptic properties. All aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solutions and infusions for rinsing should be at room temperature, so that in the event of a possible purulent process (about which a toothache sufferer may not know anything), it does not provoke its sharp and extensive development.
  • If the pain has not diminished, anesthetize with analgesics in tablet form. Antispasmodics (for example, No-spa) will not help. Or anesthetize with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nimesulide - powder, nise - tablets, ketans - tablets). Or anesthetize the mucous membrane around the tooth with a topical spray of lidocaine, presumably causing pain.

First-aid ambulance for tooth pain does not eliminate the factor that causes toothache (toothache will recur), but will delay the pain symptom for a while and hold out until the dentist can diagnose the cause of the pain and carry out appropriate treatment.

What actions are unacceptable in case of a toothache or pain in the gums (in the jaw): rinsing with hot antiseptic solutions, hot tea, coffee or soup, lying in a bathtub with hot water, being in a sauna or bath, a long hot shower, warming up as a distraction with the help heating pads or external alcohol compress, going to the solarium.
