Relief Of Toothache
- First of all, before you do anything else call your emergency dentist for an appointment. If they can fit you in straight away then this will cut down the amount of time you are experiencing discomfort.

- A cold compress can help to control any swelling that may have occurred.
- Medicated mouthwash is also a great way to keep the affected area as clean as possible to avoid bacteria spreading and manifesting.
- Pharmacists sell numbing cream or gel that can help under these circumstances. This can take the edge off the pain and make it more bearable.
- For the future, it is worth investing in an emergency dental kit so that all these remedies are close to hand should you need them again (hopefully not!).
