Emergency Toothache Relief

A toothache can be one of the most excruciating types of pain. To fix the problematic tooth and ensure your long-term health and well-being, it’s best to visit a qualified dental practitioner as soon as possible.

At Boise Family Dental Care, we provide the emergency dental care you need. You can count on us for fast relief from pain and treatment for its underlying cause.

 

Common Causes of a Toothache Emergency

There are several reasons you may experience a toothache, including:

• Cavities
• Minor or significant cracks or chips in a tooth
• A broken tooth
• An abscess or infection in the gum
• A broken filling or one that has fallen out
• Gum disease
• Bruxism, or habitual grinding of the teeth

Treatment can vary depending on the cause of your tooth pain.

Emergency Toothache Relief at Home

While seeking dental care is the best way to resolve a toothache, there are a few ways to relieve the pain temporarily before you can reach the dentist. Avoid home remedies that can be harmful — for example, rinsing your mouth with hydrogen peroxide, diluted bleach or lemon juice can increase tooth sensitivity and result in chemical burns.

Here are some interim relief measures you could try instead:

• Over-the-counter pain medication: An anti-inflammatory pill like ibuprofen may help to relieve pain temporarily. Keep in mind that ibuprofen can interact with other medications, so you should always consult your doctor before taking it.
• Cold compress: Applying an ice pack to your cheek near the affected tooth can reduce pain and inflammation.
