It is not recommended to use folk remedies such as pepper or ginger to treat toothache, which is mostly caused by tooth decay or inflammation of the dental pulp. The use of pepper is not able to treat tooth decay in hard tissues, and if the tooth nerve is inflamed, pepper will not relieve the pain. Tooth pain should be checked and treated in hospital in order to solve the toothache problem completely. For example, if the tooth is suffering from pulpitis, root canal treatment should be done to remove the infected pulp nerve before the pain can disappear completely. If the tooth is suffering from periodontitis, periodontal treatment, such as ultrasonic scaling and periodontal scraping, should be carried out to remove the infectious material around the tooth in order to restore the periodontium to health, and if the tooth is found to be hidden fracture, fracture, etc., the treatment should be tailored to the specific situation.
