What causes toothache?

Toothache is a raging extreme pain that is unbearable and intense. It is usually result of an inflammation caused by the pulpitis, a tooth cavity or an abscess in the dental cavity. To manage it, you should book the appointment to see your dentist.

Take care of toothache problems at home

  • Make sure to brush the tooth at least once a day with a soft , gentle brush to prevent the spread of bacteria and to prevent the aggravation of inflammation.
  • Make sure you floss every day at least twice.
  • Apply a thin layer of toothpaste to sensitive teeth, if the discomfort is at the root of the tooth. This will shield the enamel damaged from unpleasant sensations that are caused by cold and hot.
  • Take painkillers containing codeine, based on recommendations from your physician or pharmacist.
  • A clove-based anesthetic may also ease the pain of a tooth. To get this done you need to boil a few cloves and water in 10 mins and use this mixture as an mouthwash.
