What should I do if my teeth are swollen and painful?

Swollen and painful teeth are very painful for many people. They affect their diet and bring various obstacles to work and life. Therefore, we must pay attention to correct treatment. If you want to effectively relieve the symptoms, brush your teeth with warm water or rinse your mouth with warm tea and choose anti-allergic toothpaste.

1. Brush your teeth with warm water and rinse your mouth with warm tea: because the dental pulp nerves are sensitive to temperature, especially for teeth with worn teeth and exposed dentin, cold stimulation can cause toothache, and warm water is a natural protective agent for teeth, which can prevent and treat allergic toothache; tea contains fluoride, and rinsing your mouth with warm tea regularly can protect teeth, prevent caries and treat toothache.

2. It is better to eat warm food and avoid eating too sour or sweet food, because teeth are most suitable for metabolism in an oral temperature of 35℃-36℃ and a weakly acidic environment with a pH value of about 6.8. Eating too cold or too hot food with a large temperature difference, or too sour or sweet stimulating food will cause toothache.

3. Brush your teeth regularly with desensitizing or acid-resistant toothpaste. Both of these toothpastes contain fluoride, which can prevent teeth from dephosphorizing and decalcifying in an acidic environment, and has the effects of anti-acid, anti-aging, and relieving pain.

4. Rub garlic to relieve pain: For those with severely worn teeth and clear painful areas, you can rub the sensitive areas repeatedly with raw garlic, 1-2 times a day, 1-2 minutes each time. After 1-2 weeks, the pain will be significantly reduced or disappear.

5. If you have toothache after eating acidic foods such as vinegar, yogurt or sour fruits, you can put walnut kernels in your mouth and chew them. Because walnut kernels are alkaline foods, chewing them slowly can neutralize the acidic substances on the tooth surface, so the teeth will not ache.
