If so, you\u2019ve probably had warning signs for some time now, but kept saying, \u201cOh, I\u2019ll get around to it,\u201d or \u201cIt\u2019ll go away.\u201d The issue with either way of thinking is that the problem just keeps getting worse while you delay, until one day you\u2019ve got this full-blown pain radiating up the side of your face. But this is not the time to beat yourself up over this. You need some relief. That\u2019s why your dentist has decided to weigh in with some information on how to ease the pain of a toothache until you can be seen.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Ways to Relieve Your Toothache at Home<\/h2>\n<p>A severe toothache can be considered a dental emergency. If you have one, you should first reach out to your dentist, but until you can be seen, here are some things you can do at home:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Saltwater Rinse <\/strong>\u2013 Put \u00bd teaspoon of salt into 8 ounces of water, allow it to dissolve, swish it around in your mouth and then spit it out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Over-the-Counter Pain Reliever <\/strong>\u2013 For young children, you can administer acetaminophen (Tylenol), and adults can use a pain reliever of their choice like Ibuprofen or aspirin. Just be sure to swallow the aspirin and not try to place it on your gums, because it will irritate them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cold Compress <\/strong>\u2013 Apply a cold compress to the outside of your jaw adjacent to wear the pain is.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Over-the-Counter Anesthetics <\/strong>\u2013 A final way to get some relief is to apply pain relieving gels and liquids directly to the affected area. Be mindful, though, that they only offer temporary relief.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Prevent Severe Toothaches<\/h2>\n<p>As the old saying goes, \u201cAn ounce of prevention is worth more than 10 pounds of cure.\u201d That means that the best way to prevent an acute situation is to schedule a visit with your dentist, so that he can nip the problem in the bud early.<\/p>\n<p>In certain situations, this can determine whether your dentist can save a tooth or not. When you allow pain to intensify, that also means that the bacteria growth and tooth decay are increasing as well. So your expedience in reaching out to your dentist could mean the difference between a root canal and a tooth extraction, which could lead to other costly procedures like a dental implant to replace it.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s always great to know that just about all dental maladies are preventable. That means that the whole situation could be avoided all together by maintaining semi-annual visits with your dentist in Williamstown for cleanings and examinations. Then the root canal mentioned above may never even materialize and at worst, you may need a dental filling.<\/p>\n<p>You are the master of your dental fate.
