Effectiveness of herbal cures for toothache

Thread rating:  |
Thomas - 13 Sep 2004 07:14 GMT Ok it is a Sunday morning and I have the worst toothache of my life. I cannot see a dentist until monday and I am reaching desperation. I search the net for home remedies because even doubling up on paracetamol and ibuprofen is having no effect. Clove oil is mentioned quite a bit but I have none and there is nowhere to buy any. I also see Garlic mentioned. I peel a clove chew it a couple of ties and push it onto the aching tooth. A miricle, within 30 secs the pain is gone. What is it in garlic that kills the pain? On the downside within 30 mins I had terrible stomach pains. So I take a bag of cloves and put them in a saucepan with half a cup of olive oil. This is then put on a low heat for a couple of hours. I take a bit of cotton wool and soak this in the oil ten push it up against the tooth. This also works, but not as well as the garlic, but no stomach cramps. I was just curious to find out what dentists think of these herbal remedies??

Maybe 2 tablets (1 gram each) of amoxicillin/day would solve the problem, for now, giving you the time to get a dentist and have a RCT on that tooth...

Joel M. Eichen - 13 Sep 2004 11:44 GMT Only if you are non-allergenic to Amoxicillin and in the U.S. .... you have a Rx.
I believe in Italy no Rx is needed, correct?

Joel, considering the fact that it was sunday... i do not know if in the US you can find someone who will make an RX on Sundays... if else, pardon me for my ignorance. However, you're right, and i forgot to state the allergenicity to amoxi.

On weekends, OTOH, i could go to a local ER (here is called Pronto Soccorso) to have a prescription for that, if i really need it.
Joel M. Eichen - 13 Sep 2004 11:46 GMT FOR COMPLETENESS,
Dental pain is of two basic types .......
1. Pulpitis (from a vital or partially-vital tooth) ----> eugenol works.
2. Abscess (from a DEvital or partially devital tooth only) ----> Amoxicillin works.
In both cases, its the "PARTIALLY" part that counfounds diagnosis from patients .... and from dentists!
JOEL
I forgot to mention parafunction because I still have no idea what it is.

Vaughn - 13 Sep 2004 11:12 GMT > Ok it is a Sunday morning and I have the worst toothache of my life. I > cannot see a dentist until monday and I am reaching desperation. I recently had to spend nearly 48 hours with a "hot" tooth and found that the only thing that would touch the pain was ice. Simply keeping the tooth physically cold made the pain go away instantly. Allowing the tooth to get warm made the pain come back instantly.
Ever see someone try to sleep with ice in his mouth?
Vaughn
Joel M. Eichen - 13 Sep 2004 11:48 GMT TRUE, when I see the dude in February walking up and down 2nd Street, looking for the office, with the 32oz size of Taco Bell Soft Drink, and sipping away, that's an abscess!

They are not exactly the same, but close enough.
Joel
Ambusol contains it.

Counter-irritant theory! (complicafed stuff!) vStick with the vampire explanation.

I imagine some people prepare romaine lettuce, get out some parmesean cheese .... and then use the garlic with that.

Are you talking about whole cloves or cloven cloves?
Cloven cloves are more pungent.

Without vampires, dentists would be outa business. > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > -- > W_B When I was in the downtown Kombat Zone, I had a couple of guys (never ladies) ask, and I put on expired composite, formed it with my fingers (canines, never any other tooth). Minimal etch (5secs) and bonding and polish only with Carbide steel burs (#1157). I don't remember having trouble getting them off: There would be no etching at the gingival, so I would just insert a spoon and crack it and then take the rest off with the #1157. As long as the composite wasn't color matched to the tooth, it cake off easily and so it was't traumatic, IMO. I'd be interested to know why you would refuse to do the same.
You know? It's a funny thing: some of those *plastacene* hand formed jobs looked better (at least initially) than the ones I would agonize and fret over, doing them *right*.... Makes ya wonder if sometimes I'm not my own worst enemy....
Does anybody form composite on the anteriors using their gloved hands for real? Cheeahs SP
