What to do if a pregnant woman has toothache

Toothache is a very common problem. Many people may have experienced toothache. However, pregnant women should not take medicine blindly when they have toothache, as this will also have a certain impact on the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women must pay attention to the choice of relief methods when they have toothache. Pregnant women can also try some small folk remedies to relieve pain. So what should pregnant women do when they have toothache?

1. Gargle with salt water

Dissolve salt in warm water at a concentration of 1:50, hold it in your mouth for a while and then spit it out. Do this several times in a row for a few days.

2. Liquor for pain relief

Take 100 grams of ordinary white wine and put it in a teacup, add 10 grams of salt; stir, and after the salt is dissolved, put it on the stove and boil it. Hold a mouthful of it in the painful area, and be careful not to swallow it.

3. Massage hands

This method can relieve 50% of the pain. Rub a piece of ice on the V-shaped area between the thumb and index finger bones, and gently press the ice on this area for 5-7 minutes. A Canadian researcher found that 60%-90% of people who used this method experienced relief from toothache. His research showed that this friction method can interfere with the transmission of toothache nerve impulses.

4. Diet adjustment

In terms of diet, drink more water, eat more easily digestible food, and eat less spicy, fried, and greasy food. Drink more mung bean soup and chrysanthemum tea, eat some bitter foods such as bitter melon and lily in moderation, and pay attention to rest. If the condition does not improve, go to the hospital's dental department for an examination and symptomatic treatment, and eat less spicy and irritating foods.
