Better to visit dentist.
Has it is broken so ulceration will devlope on inner side of mouth. Food particle's stuck so more chances of developing infection.

Certainly, dealing with a broken tooth, especially when it irritates the inner cheek and collects food particles, can be quite uncomfortable. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this condition involves vitiation of Vata dosha due to the structural irregularity and Pitta dosha due to the inflammation and irritation in the area.
Firstly, it's essential to understand that if a tooth is causing significant pain or the potential for an infection, immediate dental evaluation is advisable. This is to prevent any further complications such as abscess or increased infection, which are not safe to delay. Dental intervention would be prioritized in such scenarios for the safe removal of the broken tooth.
However, supporting this process with Ayurveda can be beneficial. Here are a few Ayurvedic recommendations to manage discomfort until a professional evaluation is possible:
1. **Gargling with Warm Salt Water**: This helps to cleanse the area and can reduce irritation and prevent infection. Use about a teaspoon of salt in a lukewarm glass of water, and do this twice a day.
2. **Applying Clove Oil**: Clove has potent analgesic properties owing to eugenol, helping to temporarily alleviate pain. Dab a little clove oil to a cotton ball and apply on the affected area gently.
3. **Licorice Root Powder**: Mix with a bit of water to form a paste and apply around the tooth. It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties aiding in soothing irritation and preventing bacterial growth.
4. **Dietary Modifications**: Favor soft, non-sticky foods to reduce further irritation and avoid extreme temperatures. Also, increase intake of foods rich in Vitamin C to support oral tissue repair, think amla, citrus fruits, and bell peppers.
5. **Oil Pulling**: Another practice that can support oral health is Tikta-taste oil pulling with sesame or coconut oil for few minutes. While this might not directly reduce tooth irritation, it can maintain overall oral hygiene and balance mouth bacteria.
6. **Local Application of Ice Pack**: To manage in case there is noticeable swelling or severe irritation, seconds of gentle application of wrapped ice can be soothing.
Given that the broken tooth touches and irritates the cheek, dental assessment to discuss removal can be critical to prevent further complications. Meanwhile, embracing these Ayurvedic home practices can help manage discomfort and maintain oral health until you seek and obtain definitive medical care.
