Toothache is the most common emergency and can be very painful, and chances are, it’s getting in the way of your day to day tasks as well as your sleep. Normally toothache is described as a sharp pain that can start throbbing and sometimes even be felt along one side of the face, up to the back of your head.

Home remedies for toothache

You can begin to treat toothache at home by rinsing your mouth out warm water. Flossing can also help reduce your toothache as your toothache could have originated from food that is stuck in between your teeth or gums causing your irritation.

You can also use a cold compress on the outside of your mouth if you experience any swelling.

You can take regular painkillers as they will help with the pain. Do not use any types of painkillers, such as aspirin, on the gum itself as this can burn the tissue. Usually taking oral painkillers and maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste will stop the pain from getting any worse.

Reduce sugary foods and drinks to ensure any decay you may have can be controlled and will not get any worse.

When should I see a dentist about my toothache?

If home remedies aren’t working and your toothache lasts for more than 2 days you should call your dentist for an emergency dental appointment in Wandsworth. If your toothache is severe, do not wait for it to get worse, you should call your dentist immediately and book an emergency appointment.

How can toothaches be prevented?
