Can Applying Rum On Broken Tooth Cause Toothache And Numbness?
I am suffering from severe toothache from a broken tooth and suspect that the nerves are exposed. I have been putting some rum on to the site as well as taking Ibuprofen and now part of my bottom lip has gone numb but still having really bad pain. Please advise what to do as I wont be able to get into a Dentist until tomorrow hopefully. Many thanks

Hi
In regard to your query,you are very much aware that your toothache is 'coz of brokrn tooth structure very good and you will be highly appreciated if you visit your dentist rather than keeping rum on it. you might have had little relief by keeping rum due to the alcohol present in it but it is very bad choice of treatment.already you are on the analgesics better visit your near by dentist as early as possible to avoid further complications. Hope this is helpful to you.
