Toothache can strike suddenly and cause intense pain, often when professional dental care isn't immediately available. Fortunately, Traditional Chinese Medicine offers time-tested techniques to manage pain through the use of specific acupoint for toothache therapies. At Phases Chinese Medicine Clinic, we help patients find natural, temporary relief while addressing underlying imbalances.
Effective acupoints for toothache include LI4 (Hegu), ST6 (Jiache), and ST7 (Xiaguan). Massaging or applying firm pressure to these points helps release endorphins, reduce nerve inflammation, and ease pain intensity. LI4, located between the thumb and index finger, is especially renowned for its powerful analgesic effects.
While acupressure can provide immediate relief, it’s essential to seek professional dental treatment to address the root cause. Complementary therapies such as cooling herbal mouth rinses (chrysanthemum tea, saltwater) and acupuncture further support pain reduction. Explore how using the right acupoint for toothache can offer you fast, natural comfort and become part of an integrative oral care plan at Phases Clinic.
