A toothache can seemingly appear out of nowhere and may result in debilitating pain that makes it difficult for you to function normally. In some cases, it could even require an emergency visit to our dental clinic. What are the best ways to manage a toothache, and when should you seek emergency care ? Here's what you need to know.
Some of the most common reasons why our Manhattan patients experience toothaches include:
An abscessed tooth that has become infected
Tooth fractures
Damaged fillings
Loose or broken crowns
Gum disease such as periodontal disease or gingivitis
Grinding or bruxism
Oral trauma involving the teeth
Toothaches are very common, and can often be treated during a regular appointment. However, your toothache could warrant an emergency visit if you have any of the following symptoms:
Unbearable or excruciating pain
Excessive or uncontrolled bleeding
Pus or other infectious material
Swelling in the jaw, face, or neck
Crowns or dental fillings that have fallen out
A few effective ways to manage pain until you can make it to our office include:
Taking over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen
Performing salt-water or hydrogen peroxide rinses
Placing a cold compress or ice pack on the affected tooth (or side of your face)
Using numbing gels such as those designed for teething infants
Eating only soft foods. This helps you avoid putting pressure on the affected tooth.
