In the meantime there are things you can do to temporarily treat
your tooth pain or injury. |
|
|
-
Tooth Pain: Rinse your mouth with warm water, the
gently use dental floss to check and remove food and debris
that may be stuck between your teeth. Take aspirin or
acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
|
-
Cracked Tooth: Symptoms are usually characterized as
a sharp pain to the tooth when pressure is applied (biting
down or chewing). It is recommended that you rinse your
mouth with warm water to clean the area and apply a cold
compress to the mouth to reduce swelling.
|
-
Broken Tooth: Wash out your mouth with warm water,
and if there is bleeding in the area, apply a gauze until
the bleeding stops. If there is swelling and pain, apply a
cold compress.

|
Tooth pain, in any form, is a sign of a potentially serious
problem. These problems can range from dental infections and
diseases to throat cancer. If you are in pain, make sure to make
an appointment with a dentist immediately. |
