There have been at-home care treatment rumors that when feeling a toothache, just put an aspirin tablet on the gums near the tooth pain, and it will help relieve the pain. There may be some truth to this rumor, but the rumor doesn't reveal the side-effects. If you feel a toothache, go see your dentist to fix the problem. Our bodies feel pain for a reason: to warn us that something isn't right. Sometimes we manage the pain, or it goes away for some reason, and yet the cause of the pain is still present, threatening to return at the most inconvenient time! Placing aspirin on our gums directly can burn the gums, causing more pain for up to a couple of weeks while the burns heal. As a temporary relief, if you can take aspirin (consult your doctor), swallow the tablets instead of rubbing them on the gums!
