What to do if you have toothache during pregnancy

After becoming pregnant, pregnant women are generally very careful about taking medications, fearing that taking medications will have a negative impact on the baby in the belly. Therefore, many pregnant women with toothaches try their best to endure and refuse to take medications. Of course, taking medications may indeed be harmful to the fetus. At this time, pregnant women may wish to use some small methods to help themselves relieve toothaches. Some methods are quite effective.

1. Garlic: If you have garlic at home, you can mash it, then warm it and apply it to the painful area to effectively relieve gum pain, especially for toothache caused by pulpitis. In addition to pulpitis, it also has a good effect in alleviating periodontitis and various toothaches.

2. MSG: Dissolve MSG in warm water at a concentration of 1:50. Then hold the MSG solution in your mouth for a while and then spit it out. Do this several times in a row and you will see the effect. After using this method for a few days, the toothache can be completely relieved.

3. Ginger: As for what to do when pregnant women have toothache, there are many traditional treatment methods in our country, such as biting ginger. When you have a toothache, cut a piece of ginger and bite it on the painful area. If necessary, you can reuse it. It is also okay to hold it in your mouth when you sleep. Chinese medicine in my country points out that this method is absolutely safe and effective and has no side effects on the human body.

4. Liquor: Use about 100 grams of ordinary liquor, pour it into a teacup and then add 10 grams of salt. Stir thoroughly and dissolve it completely. Then put it on the stove and boil it, put a mouthful of it in the painful area, be careful not to swallow it, and the toothache will stop immediately.

5. Massage hands: When faced with the question of what to do when pregnant women have toothache, studies have found that massaging hands can relieve 50% of the pain when having toothache one month into pregnancy. The correct way to do it is to take a piece of ice and rub the "V" area where the thumb and index finger bones are connected, then gently press the ice on this area for 5-7 minutes. This is because this friction method can interfere with the conduction of toothache nerve impulses, thereby relieving toothache.

6. Aged vinegar and peppercorns: Use 120 grams of aged vinegar and 30 grams of peppercorns, boil these two ingredients for ten minutes, then hold them in your mouth for 3-5 minutes and spit them out, but be careful not to swallow them, this can effectively relieve toothache.

7. Fresh ginger and loofah: prepare 100 grams of fresh ginger and 500 grams of loofah. Then wash the fresh loofah and cut it into sections for later use. Then wash the fresh ginger and slice it. Add water to the two leaves and boil for 3 hours. Drink the soup twice a day. This dietary therapy is suitable for any type of swollen and painful gums, dry mouth and nose, nasal bleeding, etc., because it has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain.
