• Rinse decoction oak bark relieves pain.
• A piece of fat, put on the tooth, relieves aching pain.
• Gruel of chewed mint leaves relieves even severe toothache.

• Tooth anesthetic paste SPLAT.It is rather not a first aid tool, but a necessary component of daily care. These pastes restore the hard tissues of children's teeth, have an antibacterial effect.

• Lidocaine spray. It is quick and easy to apply by spraying onto a sore tooth or part of the gum. It is used both to block pain syndrome and in dental treatment. A very convenient form, if the pain hits a child on the road.
