TOOTHACHE
What is Tooth Ache & What is Tooth Ache Treatment?
Toothache is a common dental problem that is characterized by pain or discomfort in or around a tooth. It can be caused by various factors such as tooth decay, gum disease, abscessed tooth, tooth fracture, damaged filling, or even grinding teeth.
Depending on the severity of the toothache and the cause, the treatment options may include:
- Pain relief medications such as over-the-counter painkillers or prescription medications
- Antibiotics to treat infection
- Dental procedures such as fillings, root canal therapy, extraction, or gum disease treatment
- Desensitizing agents to treat tooth sensitivity
- Warm saltwater rinses or other natural remedies to reduce inflammation and pain
SYMPTOMS
What are symptoms of toothache?
Toothache can be a sign of several dental problems, and the symptoms can vary depending on the cause of the pain. Some common symptoms of a toothache may include:
- Throbbing or sharp pain in the affected tooth or teeth.
- Pain that worsens when you eat, drink or bite down.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks.
- Swelling in the gums around the affected tooth.
- Fever, headache or a bad taste in the mouth (if the toothache is caused by an infection).
- Difficulty opening the mouth or difficulty swallowing (if the pain is severe).
It’s important to see a dentist if you have a toothache, as they can diagnose the underlying cause of the pain and provide appropriate treatment. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers or use a cold compress to help alleviate the discomfort.
GUIDE
Can my toothache go away on its own?
It is possible for a toothache to go away on its own, but it depends on the underlying cause of the toothache. If the toothache is caused by a temporary sensitivity to hot or cold foods or drinks, or to sweet foods, it may go away on its own after a short time.
However, if the toothache is caused by an infection or decay, it is unlikely to go away on its own. In fact, delaying treatment for a toothache caused by infection or decay can result in the problem getting worse, leading to more pain, swelling, and other complications.
Therefore, it is recommended to seek dental treatment if you experience a toothache, especially if the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms such as swelling or fever. A dentist can identify the underlying cause of the toothache and provide appropriate treatment to alleviate the pain and prevent further damage to the tooth.
To reduce or prevent Toothache:
How do I treat a toothache at home?
Brush your teeth after you eat. Keep a toothbrush at work to use after eating. Brush using a fluoride-containing toothpaste at least twice a day, especially after meals. Toothpaste with antibacterial properties has been shown to reduce bad breath odors.
Mix a half-teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water and swish it around your mouth for 30 seconds before spitting it out. This can help reduce inflammation and kill bacteria.
Take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed to help reduce pain and inflammation.
Apply a cold compress or ice pack to the affected area for 15 minutes at a time to help reduce swelling and numb the pain
Apply a small amount of clove oil to a cotton ball and hold it against the affected tooth. Clove oil contains eugenol, which has natural numbing properties.
Avoid foods and drinks that are very hot, cold, or sweet, as these can exacerbate the pain.
