Tooth Abscess: Effective Home Remedies
Please Bookmark:        |
If you are here because you or someone you know is suffering from mouth abscess then let me tell you that this was a perfectly avoidable situation had you taken better oral care. We actually put ourselves into this situation (including myself!) and then regret and repair. Mouth abscess can happen to people at any age as long as their teeth are intact. People with dentures can rest in peace!
Doctor may not be able to give you an immediate appointment. Until then, here are some home remedies if the toothache is unbearable. Mix 1/4-teaspoon of potassium carbonate in 1/2 glass of water and use this solution as a mouthwash. Using it three to four times should reduce the pain in a few hours. This alkaline solution usually destroys the bacteria. Many people who suffered toothache due to mouth abscess in the past have unanimously Okayed this remedy to get rid of pain until the doctor’s help arrives. For some people clove power stuffed in the cavity has also helped.
Another home remedy for mouth abscess is, if you have tooth ache or swelling in the gums immediately take to drinking two- three glasses of water and continue drinking a glass or two of water every 20-30 minutes, the pain will start to reduce after a while (The process works because your body absorbs the water through the colon) and will perhaps completely subside.
The main cause of mouth abscess is inappropriate dental hygiene. People who don’t take proper dental care or don’t visit the dentist for check ups regularly suffer mouth abscess. Bad oral hygiene leads to cavities and cavities if left unattended to give rise to a further complication called mouth abscess. The infection begins at tooth level cavity and if not attended within proper time, can spread to mouth, face, throat or jaw. As an exception you can also get mouth infection or abscess after injuring a tooth by accident. Another home remedy is that you mix oil of cloves and peroxide cures the tooth abscess.
The best home remedy for mouth abscess is prevention. Understand the importance of oral hygiene. Don’t be in a hurry to brush and floss. Don’t postpone your visit to the doctor. And for an unforeseen situation dental insurance proves to be God sent.
Listen, I found the best. Ignore all the other stuff, I promise this will work everytime instantly. And even for a couple weeks minimum. But remember, before i tell you the quick fix, start looking for anti biotics. HinT: the pet stores use them for Fish aquariums. Anyways, take something and find the exact area of pain. Dry area with cotton, toliet paper whatever, and apply super glue to the entire area. Use the ‘Gel’ kind. It wont hurt you, i use it always. If you dont feel the pain almost instantly stop throbing, then the area is still exposed and needs to be covered. Sometimes though you may think that its one tooth when actully its the one next to it. make sure that you get between then if that is where the cavity is. And see a dentist if you can afford it. Hope this helps i know it will better than any other remeidy.
My son’s face is swollen from an abscess tooth, what really sucks is that when you work and can’t afford any health insurance. For middle class people like us who work hard its terrible that we can’t even afford health or dental insurance,but we just have to deal with the pain. If you have any suggestions for the swelling and pain I’m waiting to hear from you.
Zina, I have a solution; perhaps if you quit posting libelous and anonymous messages on mercedsun-star.com and start looking for a better job, you’d have the health and dental benefits you desire. Even more so, had you been able to handle the transition to the new agency and been able to keep your job, you’d still have the health benefits you had before. Maybe you have better benefits now. Good riddance to you.
Ouch
how do u get the dental help u need when it’s so expencive and can’t afford insurence or out of pocket? i’m desporate 2 get all my teeth pulled and get dentures. teeth over crouded, busted and abscessed due to wisdom teeth. miserable! help?
Are you a dentist making these comments?????
WOW! It really is true about the medical/dental profession promoting co-dependence with their patients.
Dear dentist- you forgot that every abscess is not caused simply by poor hygiene-ever heard of bone loss around a weak tooth???
Second, a good home remedy (which obviosly you do not wish to share) is to cleanse the infected area with baking soda and salt.
This will provide instant relief for a temporary solution until you can begin antibiotics. The professionals don’t want you to know this for some reason??? They would rather prescribe pain killers which half the time do not work but pads their pocket with gold. sir, it is obvious why you got into dentistry. (1) money
(2) people second Good luck with that!
Ouch is right Janey. get a life preferably with christ at the center
it is regretable that you bring our Lord into a jab like that, there is nothing worse than being mean in the name of Christ.
This will reduce the swelling and stop the pain. Mix 1 tea spoon of pepper, 1 tea spoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of vinigar in a cup of water. Bathe on the tooth for 1/2 - 1 hour.
u people are suppose to be helping people but all u r doing is being mean u need to get a life
Go to the store and get any liquor and an eye dropper and periodically drop alcohol on the tooth. It will numb it. You could try rinsing with warm salt water. Cloves or mint oil will help. Toothpaste directly on the affected area as a topical solution (not brushing) will help. I’m in this boat right now. I think the only real solution is a dentist’s visit and either a filling, root-canal, or extraction. Guess which one is the cheapest.
I haven’t tried this yet, but look for dentists that use water-lase technology. Supposedly it makes fillings painless.
Thank you to all that actually posted something worthwhile on this site, for the other jackasses that paste insults here just do the world a favour and go to hell! This website is meant to assist people with their difficulties and if you cannot help you are not welcome here!
I HAVE AN ABSIST TOOTH AND IT HURTS I DON’T HAVE ANY TYPE OF INSHURANCE AND I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR ANTIBODCIS PLEASE HELP ME
I’ve had an abscessed tooth since Friday when I woke up. No pain, but the left side of my face looked like I had a fight with a botox needle. It was swollen up into my jaw. I immediately started anitbiotics. (I, fortunately, have the pleasure that my boyfriend’s father is a foot doctor and has Amoxicillin on hand.) It seemed like it was going down and almost gone yesterday, but when I woke up this morning, it was bigger than ever and a new swelling had appeared right above my tooth on the gum. I tried to pop it to drain it, but even though it didn’t hurt normally, it was very tender to the touch and I couldn’t pop it without really hurting myself. So I tried the tea bag method. I took a dry Lipton tea bag and held it in my mouth directly ON the pus filled abscess. It hurt like h-e- double hockey sticks for about 20 minutes. I mean, it REALLY hurt. But then the pain completely went away and even touching my cheek was ok while I had the tea bag in. So I left it there for two hours and then got up and went to the bathroom. Sure enough, at the base of the bubble was a white dot surrounded by a black bigger dot. I took my sterilized needle and just barely touched it. IT POPPED!! All the nasty, horrible smelling pus came oozing out. I gently pushed on the top of the abscess (up in my check) and guided it to the whole. I completely drained it within 30 minutes with lots of spitting. After that, I rinsed and swished my mouth with hydrogen peroxide to sanitize after all that poison was in there. Then rinsed with cool water to get rid of the hydrogen peroxide. Now I know the abscess can fill up again, especially overnight, so I’m keeping a tea bag on my gums for a couple of more hours while I make sure it’s all extracted. With the combo of antibiotics and drainage, I’ll be able to go to the dentist on Wednesday and have the dang thing pulled so it won’t cause me anymore problems.
I hope this helps someone!!
