When Suffering From Tooth Pain Houston Dentists Are The Only Solution

By Jason Green


Pain is part of the human existence. In time everybody will sustain injuries, contract diseases or experience discomfort in one form or another. Many people will agree, however, that toothache counts as one of the most terrible afflictions that can strike a person. It can be agonising and it can totally disable a sufferer from functioning normally. Thank goodness that in cases of tooth pain Houston dentists are able to provide fast and often permanent relief.

Physical discomfort is almost always a message from the body that there is something wrong. This is also true for toothache. Any discomfort in the mouth is a clear sign that the teeth, gums or palate is diseased or damaged. Home remedies may provide temporary relief, but the underlying problem will not disappear. The only solution is to make an appointment with a dentist without delay.

It is not always possible to get a dentist appointment immediately. Thankfully, there are some home remedies that have been proven to be effective in providing temporary relief from the agony. One widely recommended remedy is to prepare a mixture of pepper and salt with a few drops of water added to create a paste. This should be applied to the afflicted tooth several times a day. Pepper and salt both have anti inflammatory and anti bacterial properties.

Garlic is also said to provide almost immediate relief for toothaches. Simply mix some crushed, fresh garlic with some salt and apply the mixture to the tooth. One can also chew on a clove to provide even faster relief. This remedy can be repeated as often as necessary to keep the discomfort at bay. Garlic has powerful antibiotic properties.

Onions too, have a seemingly magic ability to temporarily make toothache disappear. Sufferers should chew raw onion pieces and if they cannot chew it due the the agony, they can simply apply a raw piece of onion to the afflicted area. Onions boast antiseptic and anti bacterial properties. A mixture of salt and lukewarm water can also be used to rinse the mouth to reduce swelling and to prevent inflammation from developing.

Poor oral hygiene is almost certainly the most common cause of toothache. The teeth should be brushed at least twice a day, preferably after every meal. A good quality toothbrush should be used and it should be replaced at least twice a year. Flossing should become a habit. After all, the mouth is a fertile breeding ground for germs and infections.

Even those that maintains a strict oral hygiene regime needs to visit the dentist at least once yearly. After all, prevention is always better than the cure. A regular check up will reveal potential problems that can be treated in good time and prevent more serious problems from developing. Waiting until a problem becomes severe will only result in more drastic and expensive treatment.

Apart from unavoidable physical trauma to the mouth there is no reason why anybody should ever experience the agony of a severe toothache. A meticulous oral health regime and regular visits to the dentist will ensure healthy teeth. When problems do occur, a dentist should be visited without delay.
