During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, toothache must have been a common complaint in Ireland, to judge from the number of toothache 'cures' reported as part of The Schools' Collection (SC) or 'Bailiúchán na Scol', a folklore-collecting scheme that was undertaken in the Irish Republic in 1937 and 1938, and upon which this article is based. These cures range from quasi-medical treatments, such as packing the affected tooth with tobacco, to more folkloric, or magico-religious cures, such as licking a frog or pulling out a tooth from a corpse, as well as herbal and mineral remedies.
在19世纪末20世纪初，从作为“学校藏品”（SC）或“Bailiúchán na Scol”（1937年和1938年在爱尔兰共和国开展的一项民俗收集计划，也是本文的基础）一部分所报道的牙痛“疗法”数量来看，牙痛在爱尔兰想必是一种常见的病痛。这些疗法从准医学治疗，比如用烟草填充患牙，到更具民俗色彩或魔法宗教性质的疗法，比如舔青蛙或从尸体上拔一颗牙，还有草药和矿物疗法。
