Ice - 5 minutes to make toothache go away

This is considered an effective method to reduce toothache that anyone can apply.

Toothache is one of the pains that makes many people "lose their appetite and sleep". The cause of toothache can be tooth decay, cracked teeth, or wisdom teeth...

If you can't visit a doctor, try this "miraculous" treatment to quickly relieve the pain. It only takes 5 minutes, using the only "tool" that every home has - ice.

Rub ice on the hand on the same side as the painful tooth.

The method is extremely simple. First, take a clean towel and put an ice cube in it. Wrap the ice and start rubbing it on the back of your hand, between your thumb and index finger. One thing to note is that you rub the ice cube on the hand on the same side as the painful tooth! After only 5-7 minutes, you will feel the pain gradually decrease.

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

But why can ice "knock out" the feeling of toothache? The reason is because the area between the index finger and thumb on the hand is concentrated with the V nerve. This is one of 12 pairs of cranial nerves in humans. This nerve performs both sensory and motor functions. However, the main function is sensory, and each V nerve will receive sensation for one side of the face.

When you rub ice on your hand, the cold from the ice will make this area of ​​your hand numb from the cold, the V nerve will also receive instructions from the brain to reduce tension. After that, the feeling of pain gradually decreases.

You can also relieve toothache pain by applying an ice pack to your cheek near the painful tooth to reduce the throbbing pain.

Do this several times until your pain subsides. However, to completely get rid of toothache, you should quickly see your dentist for helpful advice.
