What to do When you have a Toothache

It’s important to know what causes toothaches and what you can do to feel better if you have one. If you have a sudden, long-lasting toothache, this information will help you not panic and know what to do and who can help you.

Why do I have a toothache?

Toothaches are usually caused by tooth decay. In the worst cases, an abscessed tooth or an infected nerve will be to blame. Infections in the mouth can also be caused by other kinds of tooth damage, like a broken filling or unfinished dental work. Some people might even get toothaches from grinding their teeth too much. Your toothache could be caused by an accident that hurt your tooth. If you’ve recently played sports, fallen, bit down on something hard, or been in a car accident, check your mouth right away to see if you have a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth.

What can I do immediately until I can see the dentist?

For short-term pain relief, you can try taking a painkiller like ibuprofen or putting a cold compress on the cheek on the side of your mouth where the toothache is. A warm salt-water rinse is also a good way to clean your mouth and get rid of any painful pieces of tooth or other things that might be stuck in your mouth. You can also, if you can, clean your teeth, which will also help get rid of any unwanted particles in your mouth. If the toothache is caused by a broken or knocked-out tooth, you’ll need to take better care of the tooth until you can get to an emergency dentist. You can temporarily care for the area by putting gauze over the broken tooth or affected area or by putting a knocked-out tooth in cold milk and taking it to your dentist as soon as possible.

Home remedies to consider for toothache

Home remedies for toothaches include putting alcohol on a cotton ball and putting it on the tooth that hurts. This probably won’t cure the toothache, but it might make the pain go away for a while. Another common home remedy is to clean the painful area with a Q-tip that has been dipped in hydrogen peroxide. Even though we’ve heard of all of these home remedies before, they don’t work long-term and only help for an hour or so at most. A common way to relieve toothache pain is to rub a few drops of clove oil on the painful tooth area several times a day until the pain goes away. When you have a toothache, you should go to the dentist. Even though home remedies might help you feel better for a short time, they won’t solve the problem. Putting these things in your mouth can also be dangerous if you are not careful.
