How to reduce tooth infection pain?

I once ignored a tooth infection thinking it would go away, and it spread! Ended up with a swollen face and a much bigger problem. Please, if it's an infection, you MUST see a dentist. They need to drain it and give you antibiotics. It's not something to just reduce pain for, it needs to be treated.

Tooth infection means dentist. Period. Don't try to self-treat with home remedies; you risk worsening the infection or spreading it. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Ibuprofen for temporary relief until you can get to the clinic.

While an infection absolutely requires professional dental care, for temporary soothing, some gentle pranayama like Bhramari can help calm the mind and body. Also, very gentle warm salt water rinses can offer some comfort, but remember this is not a treatment for infection itself.

Tooth infection is not something to delay. The practical solution is to call your dentist and get an appointment immediately. While waiting, rinse your mouth with warm salt water – it cleans and provides some relief. And if the pain is unbearable, take a painkiller that usually works for you. But dentist is primary.
