According to traditional Chinese medicine, toothache is mostly caused by heat and fire in the body; Frequent consumption of sweets and sours combined with neglected oral hygiene can lead to tooth erosion and therefore toothache.
The main reason why acupuncture can treat toothache is that acupuncture regulates the body's immune function, which enhances antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Finally, the body's own pain system can also be activated, so that the level of morphine-like substances in the body increases and the pain decreases; Acupuncture improves blood circulation at the lesion by regulating the vasodilator function, promotes local metabolism, eliminates the inflammatory metabolites and reduces the stimulation of nerve inflammation by endotoxin, thus alleviating the symptoms of toothache.
