Quick Solutions for Tooth Pain

The best way to treat tooth pain is with dental treatment. However, it’s not always possible to get to the dentist’s office right away. There are a few things you can do at home to reduce the pain until you get to the dentist.

• Take an OTC pain reliever
• Use OTC toothache gel/drops
• Use an ice pack near the affected tooth
• Rinse with saltwater or hydrogen peroxide

When to Call for an Appointment

While you can’t completely prevent toothache, there are some things you can do to reduce your risk:

• Practice proper oral hygiene by brushing and flossing as directed by your dentist
• Visit the dentist twice yearly for an exam and cleaning
