How to stop tooth pain fast?
If you're at home, you can take over-the-counter Advil or Tylenol. Advil can be taken up to 800 milligrams every eight hours, as long as there's no allergy or issue. Or extra strength Tylenol, which is 500 milligrams, around every six to eight hours.
Lasting solution for tooth pain
The longest lasting solution is to find your dentist and figure out what the problem is. We want to ensure we get to the root of the problem, not just provide a temporary fix.
Common reasons for tooth pain and how can dentists help find relief
Some common reasons would be infection, a large cavity, a wisdom tooth in a weird position, gum infection, or a sore in the mouth. Dentists can help by diagnosing the problem and determining the necessary treatment.
Common non-dental reasons for tooth pain
The most common non-dental reason we see is allergies or sinus issues, which can cause extreme tooth pain and pressure on the top teeth.
Experiencing consistent dull toothache
A dull toothache is most commonly caused by a cavity that has gotten close to the nerve, causing pain, or a wisdom tooth that's growing in, causing pressure and pain in the back area.
What should you do about extreme or unbearable tooth pain?
You should call your dentist and get in ASAP to prevent infection or other problems from spreading throughout your body.
Tooth pain after a dental procedure
Yes, it is normal because the mouth needs time to heal after procedures like tooth removal or nerve cleaning. Pain medication is usually prescribed to help control the discomfort.
What can be done if you're experiencing pain near a dental implant, bridge, or dentures?
You should come in to the office so we can determine if the implant might be infected, if a bridge is trapping food, or if a denture needs adjustment. We can provide appropriate treatment for each case.
What can be done at home to alleviate tooth pain?
Over-the-counter medication like Advil or Tylenol can be used, as well as topical numbing agents or warm salt water rinses.
