Tooth Nerve Pain

Tooth nerve pain is more like an electric shock which occurs in your mouth. This is not a normal toothache; it is a severe pain and needs immediate treatment. This happens when your open nerve endings are rubbed against something very harshly. This also happens all of a sudden without any sort of warning and therefore is highly unbearable.

Although it seems that tooth nerve pain comes out of nowhere, there is always a reason and usually it is because the area around the tooth nerves is swollen. The swollen tissue puts pressure on the nerve in the root of the tooth and sends out little shocks. So, the key to getting rid of this kind of pain is first to reduce the swelling.

Just like in other parts of your body, when you want to reduce swelling, you use ice. Ice applied outside the mouth, a covered ice bag (so that it isn’t too cold on your mouth) is the best way to start feeling relief. It might not be immediate, but if you keep the ice pack on for 20 minutes each hour, the swelling should start to go and the tooth nerve pain should go away.

When you have “dry socket”, or extreme pain in the whole where a tooth was extracted, your dentist will apply a concoction made of cloves to remove the pain and start the healing. You can do the same thing at home by using cloves that you find in your kitchen. Grind them up and create a paste, applying that to the tooth with a swab or piece of cotton. The pain will begin to subside and the antibacterial effects of the cloves will help the area to heal.

You can use cloves to remove the pain and this will help you in healing. This is a method the dentists use when you have a dry socket, and the dentist places a clove to help you get relief from the extreme pain. These cloves need to be grinded and a paste is made, thereafter it is applied on the tooth with a swab or piece of cotton. This will help you gain immediate relief and the area will begin to heal. This is one major way you can get relief from tooth nerve pain.
