Pressure Points for Toothache

Toothache in TCM is divided into excess (stomach fire with red, swollen gums) and deficiency (kidney deficiency with dull aching) patterns. The Large Intestine meridian enters the lower teeth and the Stomach meridian the upper teeth. Acupressure clears stomach fire and relieves pain.
