FEATURE HEALTH ARTICLE: Toothache (Dantshool)
Toothache or tooth pain is caused when the nerve root of
the tooth is irritated. Each tooth has a dental pulp in
the middle, which is very soft and spongy, containing lots
of sensitive nerves and blood vessels. Inflammation of the
pulp inside the tooth causes toothache. It can be caused
due to dental decay or dental cavities. Drinking something
hot or cold may cause toothache, as it touches the nerve
pulp. Dental decay is when bacteria in your mouth break
down the enamel of a tooth. Holes (cavities) in the tooth
develop, exposing the nerves underneath.Various conditions
associated with severe pain in relation to tooth are
mentioned below-
·
Adhimansa – Pericoronitis of wisdom teethDental decay
·
Krumidanta - Dental cavities
·
Dantpupputaka – Periodontal abcess
·
Mahasushira – Acute ulcerative necrotisin gingivo
stomatitis
·
Adhidanta –Supernumerary teeth(during eruption)
·
Dalana i.e. Sheetdanta – Enamel erosion with hyper
sensitivity to cold items
·
Dantharsha – Enamel erosion
·
Bhanjanak or Dantbheda—Pathological fracture of Tooth
Treatment :
Toothache is a symptom. Apart from symptomatic treatment,
it is important to treat the root cause of pain i.e. the
disease condition giving rise to pain.
Regular cleansing with good Dant Manjan or cream with nice
Datun is preferred.
-
Garlic can be effective in relieving the pain of tooth
due to the allicin - a compound with a powerful
antibiotic effect that is released when garlic is
crushed. It is possible that this could slow down any
bacteria involved, however it is unlikely that garlic
alone could halt decay.
-
The use of Hing (asafoetida) has been found useful in
curing toothache. It should be pestled in lemon Juice
and slightly heated. A cotton swab should be soaked in
this lotion and placed in the cavity of the tooth. It
will relieve pain quickly
-
A
mixture of a pinch of pepper powder, a quarter teaspoon
of common salt and a pinch of crushed Alum is an
excellent dentrifice. Its daily use prevents dental
cavities, foul breath, bleeding from the gums, painful
gums, and toothaches. It cures the increased
sensitiveness of the teeth.
-
A
pinch of pepper powder mixed with clove oil can be put
on the cavities to alleviate the toothache. Whole foods
are ideal for the teeth. Fibreless refined foods allow
particles to accumulate on the teeth in a sticky mass
where they can do great harm. The gums need friction to
keep them firm and whole foods also help remove plaque.
-
Place I clove of Garlic dipped in rock salt on the
affected tooth.
-
KAVAL- Mixture of powder of Yashtimadhu, honey and
oil should be used for gargling.
-
Boil 5-6 cloves and 2- inch bark of a Margosa tree (Neem)
in 1 cup of water. Strain and bottle. Store this in the
fridge. Smear this decoction on the affected tooth.
-
Prevention: Limiting the amount of sugary foods and
drinks that you have. Have them as an occasional treat,
and only at mealtimes, brushing your teeth twice a day
using a toothpaste containing lavang, babul,Neem etc.
Gently brush your gums and tongue as well,cleaning
between your teeth using dental floss.
You may consult our
Ayurveda experts through
on line consultation
or personally.
HERB
OF THE MONTH:
LAVANG(CLOVES)
Clove contains significant amounts of an active component
called eugenol, which has made it the subject of
numerous health studies, including studies on the
prevention of toxicity from environmental pollutants like
carbon tetrachloride, digestive tract cancers, and joint
inflammation. Eugenol extracts from clove have often been
used in dentistry in conjunction with root canal therapy,
temporary fillings, and general gum pain, since eugenol
and other components of clove (including beta-caryophyllene)
combine to make clove a mild anaesthetic as well as an
anti-bacterial agent. For these beneficial effects, you'll
also find clove oil in some over-the-counter sore throat
sprays and mouth washes.
Anti-Inflammatory Activity
Eugenol,
the primary component of clove's volatile oils, functions
as an anti-inflammatory substance. In animal studies, the
addition of clove extract to diets already high in
anti-inflammatory components (like cod liver oil, with its
high omega-3 fatty acid content) brings significant added
benefits, and in some studies, further reduces
inflammatory symptoms by another 15-30%. Clove also
contains a variety of flavonoids, including kaempferol
and rhamnetin, which also contribute to clove's
anti-inflammatory (and antioxidant) properties.
A Nutrient-Dense Spice
Like its fellow spices, clove's unique phytonutrient
components are accompanied by an incredible variety of
traditionally-recognized nutrients. Using our nutrient
ranking system, we determined cloves to be an excellent
source of manganese, a very good source of dietary fiber,
vitamin C and omega-3 fatty acids and a good source of
calcium and magnesium.
The
health benefits
of clove oil can be attributed to its antimicrobial,
antifungal, antiseptic, antiviral, aphrodisiac and
stimulating properties. The oil is used for treating a
variety of health disorders including toothaches,
indigestion, cough, asthma, headache, stress and blood
impurities
BEAUTY TIPS:
