Toothpaste for burns

Apply a small amount of toothpaste. This works great and will make the feel of the burn go away.

Thought I only knew that Comments By: Donad

Gives a feeling of relief and a slight burning sensation that makes you no longer feel the burning sensation of the original burn. Lol@ above comment though.

so stupid Comments By: Fuckin Scientist Man

First of all, any toothpaste on a burn right away TRAPS the heat and burning in the tissue, dumb asses. So run your burn under cold water for at LEAST 15 minutes.. THEN do whatever bullshit treatment you wish.

Those who say that toothpaste works, IT ONLY FEELS LIKE A COOLING SENSATION BECAUSE THATS WHAT ITS SUPPOSED TO DO IN YOUR MOUTH. to others its not even a cooling sensation its a burning hot feeling which makes it worse. Ive tried it before.. right when i got a burn.. IT BLISTERED UP AFTER PUTTING TOOTHPASTE ON IT...

it works really Comments By: anna

it works depending on the kind of burn you've got. different burns need different treatments. cold work best among all burns because of the obvious tempurature reduction.
on minor closed burns from say touching something hot, toothpaste works fine. obviously more serious burns, like grease burns or 2nd degree you need something else.

Great! Comments By: Ketchupqueen_404

Worked fantastic! Was burning horribly before and after I applied toothpaste the burning pain went away. Like every other burn was still sensitive to touch as it will if you add any substance.

IT TOTALLY WORKS SO STFU! Comments By: Lauren

After i burnt my finger i put in under cold water for a while. A few hours later it still hurt so a friend told me to put toothpaste on it so i did. it totally worked and it made the sting of the burn go away. when i felt the burn coming back a couple hours later i washed off the old toothpaste and put a new coating on. It helped a lot for the sting and it even reduced the blistering. I highly recommend doing it, even my doctor told me that it is a good thnig to do.

it works! Comments By: richard

i burnt myself my thumb trying to get a piece of stuck bread out the toaster. i tried ice at first, but like most people have already mentioned as soon as you take the ice off it starts to sting again. so i tried toothpaste, and IT WORKS!!! it takes a few mins to kick in but once it does its really good.

Crest Toothpaste! Comments By: Lindsay

I burnt my middle finger and ring finger on a steamer, i first just ran cold water on it, then tried the yellow mustard, which just made my fingers cold, then i tried toothpaste. I guess scientifically, it's bad for burns. But it did take away the pain for about 10 minutes. Now, i'm soaking my fingers in a bowl of cold milk. It feels better. Ha, so i recomend milk!

Might depend on brand formulation Comments By: rob

After cold water treatment, "fancy" toothpaste worked initially, but releif faded, then became annoying. Perhaps some toothpastes may work, while others will not. See raw potato remedy; potatoes are all the same.

I have to admit it works Comments By: Todd Lorenze

Ok, this is real people, I just burned my fingers on my smoker, im smoking ribs. anyway i burnt my fingers, all 4 of them on my hand, and i was putting my hand in ice water, my wife said put Colgate on it, i said no way thats not gonna work, but i tried anyway, in less than 5 seconds the burn feeling went away mostly. i still feel it a little bit, but no where near how bad i felt it 10 minutes ago. I am very supprised its working. im even typing with that hand. Do i still feel the burn, yes but its bearable, where as before it hurt a lot more.
