Toothache. Way to deal with toothache

Submitted by AJIT KUMAR, DELHI, INDIA

1.Identify the paining tooth whether it is on the left or right side of the jaw--does'nt matter if it is upper or lower side.

2. Give continuous pressure on each finger nail for 20 seconds(press nail and finger tip together).

3. Press right hand finger nails if it pains in the right side jaw, likewise for left side jaws.
