According to estimates, root canal in Newmarket is one of the most popular treatments for which people visit dentists these days. A root canal treatment is required when the pulp of a tooth has been infected and the tooth needs to be saved by the dentist in Newmarket. In most cases, after a root canal treatment has been successfully performed, the tooth does not go back to the infected state and is perfectly fine. This is why it is so important, and indeed, recommended by every endodontist, that you get a root canal treatment is you have to.

However, if there are reasons due to which you cannot visit a dentist for a root canal in Newmarket, like if you suffer from severe stress, then it makes sense to look for temporary remedies for the pain. These home remedies are only temporary, however, and will only try to alleviate the pain and discomfort caused due to the infection. It is in no way an alternative to getting a root canal treatment.

1. Ice Pack
Applying an ice pack to the infected area can be of huge help, since ice helps to soothe and calm down the nerves. It also helps reduce inflammation and can be a huge factor in providing temporary relief. This is a good remedy for the times when you can’t get a root canal in Newmarket, for example when you are travelling.

2. Salt Water
Using some lukewarm salt water can also help reduce the pain and swelling before getting a root canal dentist in Newmarket. Gargle with warm water containing a tablespoon of salt and you should feel the difference.
