Doctors' responses
Severe pain in your lower jaw teeth is a significant issue and can root from various dental or systemic conditions like cavities, gum disease, or infection. Although you’re managing with paracetamol and warm salt water gargling, these are more of symptomatic relief rather than addressing the core problem. To ensure long-term resolution, it’s crucial to identify the underlying cause.
In Ayurveda, dental issues might be linked to imbalances in the doshas and need a more holistic approach. Since you’re experiencing severe pain, it’s best advised to visit a professional dentist to rule out any serious concerns such as infections or tooth decay. Immediate medical assessment is essential to prevent further complications.
For embedding Ayurvedic principles, you can consider using some herbal remedies that are known for oral health. Triphala, for instance, can be prepared as a mouthwash. Boil a teaspoon of triphala powder in a glass of water, let it cool a bit, and use it to rinse your mouth twice a day. Its anti-infective properties can be beneficial.
Additionally, consider the practice of oil pulling, which involves swishing sesame or coconut oil in the mouth for ten to fifteen minutes before spitting it out. This can help in pain relief and improve oral hygiene over time.
Pay attention to your diet too, since certain foods can exacerbate dental sensitivity, avoiding excessively hot, cold, or sugary foods is advisable. Incorporate more fibrous fruits and vegetables, which help naturally clean the teeth. Implement these lifestyle changes alongside your ongoing treatments.
Despite these measures, please prioritize a visit to the dentist urgently to receive thorough diagnostic and necessary intervention for your condition. It’s always better to act swiftly in cases of severe pain.
