How to treat toothache in Chinese medicine

For toothache, TCM practitioners can treat it with herbs or acupuncture. TCM requires treatment by identifying the evidence. There are deficiency fire toothache and real fire toothache. The real fire toothache is sometimes caused by upper jiao fire, in which case you can take Huang Lian Shang Qing Wan. For stomach fire toothache, you can also take Niuhuang Qing Stomach Pill, while for liver fire toothache, you can take Gentian Diarrhea Liver Pill, and for deficiency fire toothache, you can often take Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan. In Chinese medicine, acupuncture can also be used, mainly acupuncture points such as Xiaguan, Sun, Fengchi, Hegu, Taichong and Quchi.
