Treatment of toothache

must be treated, as the pain ranges from mild to severe and extends throughout the mouth, so if you suffer from a toothache in your molars, you can try many of the home methods that help in the treatment that we will present to you in this article.

Causes of molar

pain The pain can be related to your teeth or it could be the result of an unrelated condition. Some of these causes are interrelated and others are more isolated.

Read on to learn more about the possible causes of molar pain.

Sensitivity to cold or heat

Sensitivity to cold and heat occurs when tooth enamel erodes and the deeper layers of the tooth containing nerves are exposed to food and drink. Sensitivity may be due to tooth decay or an old filling.

Caring for heat sensitive teeth:

If your molars are sensitive to these temperature changes within a short period of time, you can try a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth and brush your teeth only with up and down motions.

Tooth

abscess An abscess is formed as a result of an infection from caries. You may have an abscess near the molar root or gum line. 

An abscess appears in the form of a pocket of pus. An abscess in a tooth comes from a decayed tooth, an infected tooth, or after dental work.

Dental abscess care:

Treatment may include a root canal or even surgery to clean the affected area. You may have a crown on the molar to protect the area.

Tooth decay and

pulpitis Tooth cavities, also known as tooth decay, can appear on the molars due to poor dental hygiene.

 Some people are also more susceptible to cavities. You may feel a sharp or throbbing pain in a molar that has a cavity.

Pulpitis is the result of inflammation within the tooth. This inflammation can lead to a bacterial infection and must be treated before permanent damage to the teeth or mouth occurs.

Tooth decay and pulpitis care:

You will need a filling, crown or root canal to repair the damage caused by the decay. Pulpitis may require your dentist to clean your teeth, treat the infection, and re-seal.

To prevent tooth decay, the dentist may recommend applying sealants to the molars. Sealants are usually applied to children's permanent molars when they first erupt. This helps protect the teeth between the ages of 6 and 14 when they suffer from tooth decay.

Gingivitis A gum infection

can affect the molars and make chewing painful. It causes inflammation, damages dental tissues, and destroys the bone around the teeth. 

If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and is considered an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease and diabetes.

Gingivitis care:

A dentist can treat the early stages of gingivitis and may include:

• Removing tartar and bacteria
• Take a topical or oral antibiotic:
• More severe gingivitis cases may require surgery.

Methods for treating molar pain 

One of the natural ways to help treat molar pain include:

Warm

compresses Hot compress is one of the best home remedies for molar pain. You can apply a warm washcloth to the area or use warm food. 

A warm compress helps relieve swelling and inflammation that cause molar pain. A warm compress is also a great way to relax and fall asleep if you have muscle aches at night and are trying to sleep. 

You should try to leave the warm compress on the area for 30 minutes before repeating the process. You can use the warm compress as often as needed to achieve the desired results.

Gargling with salt water

Gargling with salt water is a great home remedy for toothache and other mouth pain. This is especially helpful if you have molar pain caused by an infection. 

The salt in the salt water helps kill the bacteria that cause infection on the teeth or gums. Be careful however if you are experiencing muscle pain caused by an infection, you should visit your dentist. If the infection is allowed to progress and left untreated, it can lead to more serious complications. It is best to gargle with salt water in the morning or when you wake up before bed. You can also do this the next time you feel pain.

 Hydrogen

peroxide rinse A hydrogen peroxide rinse can help relieve pain and inflammation. In addition to killing bacteria, hydrogen peroxide can reduce plaque and heal bleeding.

Make sure the hydrogen peroxide is diluted properly. To do this, hydrogen peroxide should be mixed with equal parts of water and used as a mouthwash. 

compressesCold

You can use cold compresses to relieve your pain, especially if any kind of trauma is causing your toothache.

When a cold compress is applied, it causes the surrounding blood vessels to constrict. This makes the pain less. Cold also reduces inflammation and swelling.

To use this method, apply an ice pack wrapped in a towel to the affected area for 20 minutes at a time. You can repeat it every few hours.

Mint

tea bags Peppermint tea bags can be used to relieve pain and soothe sensitive teeth.

The used tea bag should be allowed to cool slightly before applying it to the affected area.

To do this, put a used tea bag in the freezer to cool for a few minutes and then place the bag on your teeth. 

Cloves

Cloves have been used throughout history to treat toothache. The oil can relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Contains eugenol, a trusted source of natural cleanser.

To use this method, dilute clove oil with a carrier oil such as sunflower oil or jojoba oil. Use a ratio of 15 clove oil to one ounce of carrier oil, according to the National Holistic Aromatherapy Association.

Then put a small amount of the diluted oil on a cotton ball and apply it to the affected area several times a day.

Tips for managing pain symptoms 

The many causes of molar pain can lead to a variety of treatments. 

There are several general ways to deal with molar pain immediately, but you should see a dentist to treat molar pain permanently to avoid long-term damage.

Molar pain can be overcome by following the following:

• Take an over-the-counter pain reliever of NSAIDs.
• Put an ice pack or a warm compress on your face near the molar pain.
• Using an over-the-counter topical medication with benzocaine under the guidance of your doctor.
