As many would have experience an ethical practitioner of complimentary and alternative medicine will always send you in the direction of an oral surgeon or an emergency dental clinic should you need emergency dental treatment. Even if complimentary and alternative medicine is able to help you in various areas of physical and emotional health, denstistry and surgery should be left in the capable hands of conventional medicine. For emergency dental repair there some things that you can do while waiting for your appointment.
Stay Calm
The pain you feel when you need emergency dental treatment is sometimes like the feeling of drowning, where in if you panic then you are more likely to sink. Being able to relax during this period of suffering will give you a better chance of survival. By being calm and relaxed you will be able to reduce the panic that usually increases the sensation of pain.
The ability to realx and be calm in extremely stressful situations is something that one needs to learn as this will benefit the individual and this what alternative therapies usually bring to the table. You will still need to get yourself to the emergency dentist and sometimes there isn’t anyone around to help you so learning this ability will avoid you having a traumatic experience.
Making Use Of Meditation
You might want to hold onto a favorite lucky object in order to help you calm down. Another way to calm down is through use of mediation. Needing emergency dental treatment is not the time to learn meditation. Ideally, you need to meditate for a few minutes a day, every day. Over time, it can help you relax during incredibly stressful moments.
Even if you do not yet know how to meditate, don’t worry as you can quite easily learn the art of meditation. Clear your mind of everything and try to thing of happy events in your life, or think of something that you have always wanted to do like walk on the beach in a tropical resort. The point is to think of something the relaxes you the most and you can even close your eyes if you need to. Just take slow deep breathes as often as you need to help your muscles relax.
The Use OF Clove Oil
Clove oil is used on many occasions as a form of pain reliever for some kinds of emergency dental treatment. It is the primary ingredient of Ambesol which is an over the counter toothache remedy. Clearly this will not be the solution for all emergencies, but this can help with most toothaches, hits to the jaw and even for abscessed teeth. It is something worth trying out to help you in your painful condition.
