So you want to get rid of toothache? Toothache is perhaps the most annoying disease that happens to a human being. Just imagine that when you sit to indulge yourself in a scrumptious dinner, the demon called toothache attacks you and throws water on your plans. In this article I will tell you how to get rid of toothache fast.

Call your dentist: The very first thing you need to do is to get an appointment with a dentist. Make an appointment with the dentist as soon as you can. Remember that just like doctors, dentists are also very busy people and can get booked quickly. Some dentists may squeeze you in if your toothache is an emergency, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Also, if you have problems with money or if there are any insurance issues, it is better to sort them out first than to regret later.

The next thing you are probably going to want to do is to relieve the agonising pain of toothache as you wait for your appointment, now, you may be thinking to yourself "Hey, I think I can hold out until the appointment, I don't need to do anything", well, let me tell you, toothache is extremely, I mean extremely painful and uncomfortable, even just a few days of it can really make things absolutely horrible for you, plus the fact that you may not be able to see a dentist for a few weeks or maybe even longer as there may not be any appointments available.

Alkalis included foods can prevent you from toothache. Wheat flour, unpolished rice, un-boiled milk, fruit and green vegetables will help you to get rid of toothache. Flour, unpolished rice, dates, cabbage, tomatoes, gourds, carrots, cucumber and spinach contains good amount of calcium. An adult require 10 grains of calcium in his/her daily diet for healthy bones and teeth. Food containing vitamin C like lemon, oranges and cabbage are very effective home remedies for toothache. Garlic, Pineapple and Grapes are good for bleeding gums. Steam treatment is also very effective in case of bleeding gums or swollen.

Sometimes toothache can be caused by nausea, fear, anxiety, etc. Such cases of toothache can be best cured by treating the original disease itself. Note that sometimes, along with toothache, you may also feel pain in your neck.

A simple way to cure toothache caused by nausea is to use a simple acupressure technique that I have mastered over the years and used successfully on many occasions. Hold the tip of your index finger firmly to the tip of your thumb to make a circle like 'O'. Then look at a distant object, such as your office, or garden. Once you do this your nausea will be gone and so will your toothache.
