You should see a dentist, but if that isn't possible, read below
Rinse with warm salt water. Hot or cold water will only aggravate an already sensitive tooth, but swishing some warm salt water will relieve a lot of the pain, says William P. Maher, D.D.S., assistant professor of endodontics at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry.
Just mix two to three teaspoons of salt in a glass of water. The salt draws out some of the fluids causing the swelling and has a general soothing effect. The saltwater rinse also cleans the areas around the infected tooth. Even unsalted lukewarm water (about body temperature) can flush out an irritating piece of rotting food and provide some relief.
Take an analgesic. "Anything you would take for a headache you can take for a toothache," says Dr. Burrell. That old standby, aspirin, works wonders to tame toothache pain and inflammation. If you have adverse reactions to aspirin, try ibuprofen (Advil or Nuprin). lbuprofen has even more anti-inflammatory power, and it's gentler to the stomach than aspirin.
If you do use aspirin, never put it directly on a tooth or gum, warns Dr. Burrell. It will only produce a painful acid burn. Also, don't give aspirin to children because of the risk of Reye's syndrome.
Find relief in the freezer. "Ice will shut down some of the superficial nerves," says Thomas Lundeen, D.M.D., co-director of the Clinical Pain Program at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. It is particularly helpful with bruises or other traumatic injuries to the tooth or mouth, since ice can greatly reduce swelling. But don't apply ice directly to a tooth: Use an ice pack wrapped in a towel outside the mouth.
Try some oil of cloves. Eugenol (oil of cloves) is available over the counter and provides exceptional temporary relief, especially for toothaches that are temperature-sensitive. Such pain is usually due to problems of the pulp, the tooth center, says Martin Trope, D.M.D., chairman of the Department of Endodontology at Temple University School of Dentistry in Philadelphia. Most drugstores sell eugenol toothache kits. You can even mix liquid eugenol with zinc oxide to create your own temporary fillings for painful cavities. A few drops on the tooth surface or in a cavity or crack should do the job until you can get to the dentist.
Numb it with benzocaine. "Benzocaine is a local, over-the-counter anesthetic that works well if there is a large cavity or damage to the tooth surface," says Dr. Maher. "It numbs things. The closer you can get it to the pulp, the better it works."
Several easy-to-apply, brand-name oral gels and ointments contain this numbing agent. Dab the gel on the entire tooth surface and surrounding gum with your finger or a cotton swab. If you have a visible cavity, try to get the gel inside the cavity area.
Don't get all heated up. Keep heat away from your teeth, warns Dr. Trope. In fact, avoid both temperature extremes. Very cold or hot drinks may increase the pain when they hit your nerve endings. Extremely salty or sugary foods and drinks can have the same effect, he adds.
Use some more ice on your hand. Here's a neat trick developed by pain researcher Ronald Melzack, Ph.D., of McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. Rub a piece of ice on the V-shaped area between your thumb and forefinger for five to seven minutes, until that area goes numb. This treatment significantly eases tooth pain by sending impulses along the same pathways that toothache pain travels. The impulses close the gate on incoming pain messages--in effect, shutting off the ache.
You may want to exercise ... or not. "Most people with a throbbing toothache just want to sit still--and that is probably best," says Dr. Lundeen. "On the other hand, physical activity, especially of the aerobic type, may produce enough endorphins (the body's natural pain relievers) that the pain will be greatly reduced." If you can, try a brisk walk or jog. But don't force yourself to keep going if the pain gets worse.
Breathe deeply--and listen up. "Soothing music and deep breathing bring about a relaxed state, which can help alleviate some toothache pain," says Dr. Lundeen. Researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle have discovered that slow rhythmic music effectively reduces your awareness of much acute pain, including dental pain, by distracting your attention and generating pleasant moods and images. So sit back, turn on the stereo, and let the dulcet tones of your favorite crooner chase away your toothache blues.
Put out that cigarette. "Tobacco is associated with a great number of dental and oral problems and can really irritate sensitive gums," says Dr. Lundeen. "Snuff and chewing tobacco are especially damaging." Tobacco stimulates adrenaline, which sensitizes us to pain. And the nicotine in tobacco blocks endorphins. |

The sleep-diet connection is regular fodder for diet books and magazine articles. Maybe you have even heard about the sleep diet, which suggests you can lose weight while you catch your ZZZs.
And it’s true, sort of.
“It’s not so much that if you sleep, you will lose weight, but if you are sleep-deprived, meaning that you are not getting enough minutes of sleep or good quality sleep, your metabolism will not function properly,” explains Michael Breus, PhD, author of Beauty Sleepand the clinical director of the sleep division for Arrowhead Health in Glendale, Ariz.
On average, we need about 7.5 hours of quality sleep per night, he says. “If you are getting this already, another half hour will not help you lose 10 pounds, but if you are a five-hour sleeper and start to sleep for seven hours a night, you will start dropping weight.”
Exactly how lack of sleep affects our ability to lose weight has a lot to do with our nightly hormones, explains Breus.
The two hormones that are key in this process are ghrelin and leptin. “Ghrelin is the ‘go’ hormone that tells you when to eat, and when you are sleep-deprived, you have more ghrelin,” Breus says. “Leptin is the hormone that tells you to stop eating, and when you are sleep deprived, you have less leptin.”
More ghrelin plus less leptin equals weight gain.
“You are eating more, plus your metabolism is slower when you are sleep-deprived,” Breus says.
1. The Elusive Metabolism BoostBoosting the metabolism is the holy grail of weight watchers everywhere, but how fast your body burns calories depends on several factors. Some people inherit a speedy metabolism. Men tend to burn more calories than women, even while resting. And for most people, metabolism slows steadily after age 40. Although you can't control your age, gender, or genetics, there are other ways to get a boost. Read on for 10 ways to rev up.
2. Build MuscleOur bodies constantly burn calories, even when we’re doing nothing. This resting metabolic rate is much higher in people with more muscle. Every pound of muscle uses about 6 calories a day just to sustain itself, while each pound of fat burns only 2 calories daily. That small difference can add up over time. In addition, after a bout of resistance training, muscles are activated all over your body, increasing your average daily metabolic rate.
3. Fuel Up with Water
The body needs water to process calories. If you are even mildly dehydrated, your metabolism may slow down. In one study, adults who drank eight or more glasses of water a day burned more calories than those who drank four. To stay hydrated, drink a glass of water or other unsweetened beverage before every meal and snack. In addition, try munching on fresh fruits and vegetables, which are full of fluid, rather than pretzels or chips.
4. Have Your Drinks on the Rocks
Ice-cold beverages prompt the body to burn more calories during digestion. Research suggests five or six glasses of water on the rocks can use up an extra 10 calories a day. That might not sound like much, but it adds up to a pound of weight loss per year -- without dieting. You can get the same benefit by drinking iced tea or coffee, as long as you forego the cream and sugar.
5. Sinless Snacking
Eating more really can help you lose weight -- eating more often, that is. When you eat large meals with many hours in between, you train your metabolism to slow down. Having a small meal or snack every 3 to 4 hours keeps your metabolism cranking, so you burn more calories over the course of a day. Several studies have also shown that people who snack regularly eat less at meal time.
7. Spice Up Your Meals
Spicy foods contain chemical compounds that kick the metabolism into high gear. Eating a tablespoon of chopped red or green chili pepper can boost your metabolic rate. The effect is likely temporary, but if you eat spicy foods often, the benefits may add up. For a quick boost, spice up pasta dishes, chili, and stews with red-pepper flakes.
8. Recharge with Green Tea
Drinking green tea or oolong tea offers the combined benefits of caffeine and catechins, substances shown to rev up the metabolism for a couple hours. Research suggests that drinking two to four cups of either tea may push the body to burn 17% more calories than normal for a short period of time.
9. Power Up with Protein
The body burns many more calories digesting protein as it uses for fat or carbohydrates. Protein may require almost 25% more energy to digest compared to fat. Although you want to eat a balanced diet, replacing some carbs with lean, protein-rich foods can jump-start the metabolism at mealtime. Healthy sources of protein include lean beef, turkey, fish, white meat chicken, tofu, nuts, beans, eggs, and low-fat dairy products.
10. Booster Shot: Black Coffee
If you're a coffee drinker, you probably enjoy the increased energy and concentration that follows your morning ritual. Taken in moderation, one of coffee's benefits may be a short-term increase in your metabolic rate.
