ANSWERS: 1

Think-About-It

They subsitute one sensation for another. Acting as an irritant they replace the sensation of the pain you feel with a sensation of heat or cold. Toothache medicine acts the same way, you place it on or around the tooth which is causing the pain and you feel an intense burning sensation. The pain is still present but now your are focusing mentally on the New intense sensation.
