Severe pain in the lower jaw can be distressing, especially when it’s spread across multiple teeth. The fact you’re using paracetamol and warm salty water for relief indicates that there’s some inflammation or infection might be involved. However, alleviating your discomfort effectively will require identifying and addressing the underlying cause, which an Ayurvedic approach can help clarify.
First, from an Ayurvedic perspective, dental pain could be related to an imbalance in the kapha dosha, which governs the oral cavity. Excess kapha can lead to gum disorders or infections. Your primary step should be to reduce the kapha aggravation. Avoid cold and heavy foods, dairy, and sugar, as they may increase kapha symptoms. Stick to light, warm meals with spices that stimulate digestion and circulation like ginger, pepper, and turmeric.
Improving oral hygiene is crucial. Twice daily oil pulling using sesame oil or coconut oil for about 10-20 minutes can be beneficial. Afterwards, brush soft using a herbal toothpaste containing neem or babool. These herbs have natural antibacterial properties and help strengthen gums.
Given the severity of the pain, you might want to explore herbal remedies that have analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Herbal formulations like Triphala can help reduce inflammation, take this in powder form, mix with warm water, and use it as a mouth rinse. Yet, it’s essential to manage expectations and understand that herbal remedies work more subtly than modern pain medications.
Still, since the pain is classifieds as severe and involves multiple teeth, the root cause, such as potential dental abscess, cavities, or gum disease, needs immediate addressing to prevent complications. Therefore, I advise visiting a dentist promptly to rule out or treat any infections or structural issues with your teeth or jaw.
Prioritize seeing a healthcare professional to get a definitive diagnosis and potentially urgent treatment, while integrating Ayurvedic practices for support.
