FAQs
FAQs About Toothache
Why does my tooth hurt?
A toothache is usually the result of an underlying dental or medical problem:
- Tooth Decay:
Tooth pain and throbbing can occur when a cavity becomes large enough and close enough to the tooth nerves. - Dental Abscess:
An abscess is the result of a localised infection. A bacterial infection causes pus to accumulate inside the gums or teeth and leads to infection. - Impacted Tooth:
The pressure an impacted tooth exerts on other teeth can cause toothaches. - Gingivitis:
If your tooth pain begins in the gums, it may be the cause of the toothache. - Injuries:
Trauma to the teeth or jaw can cause toothaches. - Referred Pain:
A toothache can be referred pain caused by a problem elsewhere in your body, like earaches or sinusitis.
How will I know if my toothache is serious?
The following are signs that your toothache is serious and that you should see a dentist:
- Excruciating pain that lasts for more than two days
- Swelling
- Fever
- Pain when you try to open your mouth
How will my dentist manage my toothache?
Your dentist will diagnose the root cause of your toothache and propose the best treatment for you. If your toothache is caused by tooth decay, filling the cavity would be recommended. In the case of bacteria or an infected tooth, a root canal therapy would be the best option to save the tooth. A tooth extraction would be the last resort. If you have a fever and your face is swollen, your dentist may also give you antibiotics.
How will I manage toothaches at home before my dentist appointment?
While you’re waiting to see your dentist, the following home remedies can help ease your pain:
- Taking over-the-counter pain medications can help with inflammation and pain. You can use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen. Acetaminophen is an alternative if you cannot take NSAIDs.
- You can use a cold compress to relieve pain and swelling. Wrap ice in a towel and apply it for 20 minutes at a time to the affected area.
- Gargle with salt water to clean your mouth and relieve pain. Mix half a teaspoon of salt with a glass of warm water and rinse your mouth thoroughly. You will feel better after using the saline solution on your teeth because it breaks down bacteria and reduces inflammation.
- Garlic has antibacterial properties that prevent infection and relieve pain from different ailments, including toothaches. Garlic cloves crushed into a paste can be applied to painful areas to relieve pain.
- Natural antiseptics and pain-relieving properties have been associated with clove oil for centuries. Use just one drop in your water as an antiseptic mouthwash, or dab it on with cotton balls.
