Real-pattern toothache is caused by the ascent of wind-fire in the Yangming channel. Ge Gen Bai Hu Tang (Kudzu and White Tiger Decoction) is the primary formula.
Ge Gen Bai Hu Tang (Self-made Formula)
Puerariae Lobatae Radix (Ge Gen, 2 qian)
Gypsum Fibrosum (Shi Gao, 5 qian)
Trichosanthis Radix (Hua Fen, 3 qian)
Dendrobii Caulis (Shi Hu, 3 qian)
Forsythiae Fructus (Lian Qiao, 1.5 qian)
Menthae Haplocalycis Herba (Bo He, 1 qian)
Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fang Feng, 1 qian)
Platycodonis Radix (Jie Geng, 1 qian)
Lophatheri Herba (Dan Zhu Ye, 20 leaves)
Imperatae Rhizoma (Bai Mao Gen, 5 qian)
This formula incorporates the principles of Bai Hu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) and Zhu Ye Shi Gao Tang (Bamboo Leaf and Gypsum Decoction), adding Puerariae Lobatae Radix and Saposhnikoviae Radix to allow the fire residing in the fu-organs to reach outward through the channels. Dendrobii Caulis and Trichosanthis Radix generate fluids and clear heat; Menthae Haplocalycis Herba, Forsythiae Fructus, and Platycodonis Radix disperse stagnant fire; Imperatae Rhizoma and Lophatheri Herba clear Heart fire, which thereby clears Stomach fire. Note by Zuyi.
Deficient-pattern toothache results from Kidney deficiency complicated by Stomach fire. Teeth are bones formed postnatally and also belong to the Kidney. Moreover, the Kidney serves as the gatekeeper for the Stomach; when Kidney water fails to control fire, floating yang causes pain. Re Qing Wei Guan Jian (Clear Heat and Regulate the Stomach Decoction) is the primary formula.
Re Qing Wei Guan Jian (Clear Heat and Regulate the Stomach Decoction, Self-made Formula)
Rehmanniae Radix Recens (Sheng Di Huang, 6 qian)

Forsythiae Fructus (Lian Qiao, 1.5 qian)
Platycodonis Radix (Jie Geng, 1 qian)
Saccharum Officinarum Jus (Zhe Gan, 3 liang, decocted together)
This formula uses Rehmanniae Radix Recens and Testudinis et Plastrum Carapacis et Plastrum Plastrum as principal herbs to nourish the Kidney. Saccharum Officinarum Jus, Dendrobii Caulis, and Trichosanthis Radix serve as assisting herbs to clear Stomach fire. Menthae Haplocalycis Herba and Forsythiae Fructus disperse stagnant fire. Puerariae Lobatae Radix and Platycodonis Radix allow the manifested fire to resolve from the exterior aspects of the Lung and Stomach. Note by Zuyi.
Tongue rolling with swelling, obstructing the mouth causing pain and difficulty in speech, indicates blazing Heart Yang. First, use Sheng Pu Huang (Raw Cattail Pollen, 3 qian) soaked in water to rinse frequently, then administer Huang Lian Qing Xin Yin (Coptis Decoction to Clear the Heart).

Menthae Haplocalycis Herba combined with Forsythiae Fructus disperses stagnant fire. Poria combined with Thyrsostachys Oliveri Stem guides the pathogen out via the Small Intestine and Bladder. Benincasae Pericarpium benefits the Large Intestine, further assisting Poria and Thyrsostachys Oliveri Stem. Note by Zuyi.
A crimson-red tongue color with broken edges and tips, blood traces on the tongue surface accompanied by pain, indicates severe depletion of Yin fluids and blazing Heart fire. Da Ze Tang (Great Moistening Decoction) is the primary formula.

Rehmanniae Radix Recens (Sheng Di Huang, 6 qian)

Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix, Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, Poria cum Pinellia, Nelumbinis Rhizoma, and Thyrsostachys Oliveri Stem nourish blood and cool the Heart. Ophiopogonis Radix and Dendrobii Caulis assist Rehmanniae Radix Recens and Ophiopogonis Radix in generating fluids and nourishing the Stomach. When Yin and blood are sufficient, deficient fire extinguishes naturally. Note by Zuyi.
