Background: Dental caries is a disease which results in progressive destruction of the tooth and gradually leads to sensitivity or pain in that tooth, i.e., toothache the prevalence of which is about 49%–83% worldwide. There are various causes for orofacial pain, of which toothache is quite common. When severe, its unbearable and extremely disturbing for the patient, hence, considered as dental emergency. As per Ayurveda, Krimidanta has clinical features similar to dental caries. Various treatment procedures are mentioned to manage Krimidanta janya-shoola (pain due to dental caries), of which one is the topical placement of Koshna (warm) Hingu over the affected tooth. Materials and Methods: An interventional study was done for which patients were selected from the outpatient department and inpatient department of Shalakya Tantra and were randomly divided into two Groups A and B. Group A was asked to topically place Koshna Hingu (warm asafoetida) at the site of Krimidanta janya shoola three times a day for 3 days and Group B was advised to take paracetamol (acetaminophen) three times a day for 3 days. A total of 30 patients were enrolled in the study and all of them completed the treatment. Results and Conclusion: The study showed that both Hingu and tablet paracetamol were effective in managing the pain caused due to dental caries, although the results were slightly better for the group which was given Hingu topically.
