My tooth hurts, what can I do?
By Dental Haven
Here are some ways to ease your dental pain:
- take medicines such as Ibuprofen/Advil/Aleve or Tylenol
- numbing gel helps but please avoid benzocaine products for young children
- cold compress for temporary relief associated with swelling
- for swollen gums, rinse with warm salt water
- use mouthwash to disinfect your teeth
- if pain persists for a day or 2, make sure to call us to see the dentist
