Dental Pain, Herbal Medicine, Clove, Turmeric, Neem, GingerAbstract
Dental Pain is one of the most prevalent conditions across the globe that is managed through various methods. Allopathic medicines, i.e. Analgesics, Opioids, Steroids, and Local anaesthetics, are used for the treatment or management of chronic/acute Pain. But due to the adverse effects associated with these allopathic medicines, Herbal Medicine should be considered as an alternative therapy for Pain Management in Dentistry. Various Medicinal plants, such as Garlic, Cloves, Turmeric, Neem, Peppermint, and babul, possess significant analgesic activity; therefore, well-designed clinical studies are required to establish and improve the efficacy of herbal medicine for dental pain. Thus, the use and implementation of natural treatments will be highly beneficial to the field of dentistry. The present review highlights Herbal Medicine, which plays a crucial role in treating pain, particularly in post-maintenance periodontal therapies, without side effects.
