A doctor has revealed ways to relieve toothaches over the holidays

On December 27, Irina Kornilina, head doctor of the EUROKAPPA clinic scientific and clinical center, told about ways to relieve toothache during the holidays, if there is no possibility to make an appointment at the clinic.

"A solution with salt is a home option for disinfecting the oral cavity, relieving inflammation and pain. Dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and rinse your mouth. Salt reduces swelling, temporarily reduces the severity of pain syndrome. If the pain is severe, repeat the procedure every three to four hours to reduce the intensity of the symptom," - RIAMO quotes her words.

Kornilina noted that if swelling began to appear, you need to apply a cold compress to the cheek, but not to the gum or tooth. You can also use clove oil as an antiseptic and anesthetic, applying it on a cotton disk to the sore tooth for 10 minutes. If oil is not available, you can chew cloves.

The doctor added that decoctions of chamomile, mint and sage have anti-inflammatory properties, notes "Gazeta.Ru".

Earlier, on October 15, dentist, implant surgeon, head doctor of the clinic "MYOD" Ilya Usachev told about how to prevent tooth decay. He noted that the most important thing in this matter is prevention: a balanced diet, proper oral care and timely examination by a doctor. According to the specialist, in no case should you prescribe vitamin complexes on your own, because oversaturation can lead to other dangerous diseases.
