Ice cubes - 5 minutes to make toothache disappear

This is considered an effective method to relieve toothache that anyone can use.

Toothache is one of the most distressing pains that can cause many people to lose their appetite and sleep poorly. The causes of toothache can include cavities, cracked teeth, or wisdom tooth eruption...

If you can't see a doctor yet, try this "miracle" remedy to quickly relieve that unpleasant pain. The method only takes 5 minutes and uses a single "tool" that everyone has at home – ice.

Rub an ice cube on the hand on the same side as the aching tooth.

The method is extremely simple. First, take a clean cloth and place an ice cube in it. Wrap the ice cube in the cloth and begin rubbing it on the back of your hand, between your thumb and index finger. Note that you should rub the ice cube on the same side as the aching tooth! After only 5-7 minutes, you will feel the pain gradually subside.

According to experts, the hands are considered a point of interaction with pain signals from many areas of the body. Hand massage with ice is one of the effective remedies for toothache by causing cold signals to override pain signals.

But why can ice "relieve" the sensation of a toothache? The reason is that the area between the index finger and thumb on the hand contains the trigeminal nerve (V). This is one of the 12 pairs of cranial nerves in the human body. This nerve performs both sensory and motor functions. However, its primary function is sensation, and each trigeminal nerve receives sensation for one side of the face.

When you rub ice on your hand, the cold from the ice will numb the area, and the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) will receive instructions from the brain to relieve tension. Afterward, the pain will gradually subside.

You can also reduce the pain of a toothache by applying an ice pack to your cheek near the aching tooth to lessen the throbbing sensation.

Repeat this process several times until your pain subsides. However, to completely eliminate toothache, you should promptly consult a dentist for helpful advice.
