Toothache
A toothache can range from a dull ache to sharp, throbbing pain. It often points to decay, a crack, a loose filling, or an infection. Prompt care can relieve the pain and help protect the tooth.

- 1Rinse gently with warm water to keep the area clean.
- 2Use dental floss to remove any food that may be trapped between teeth.
- 3Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek if there is swelling.
- 4Take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the package.
- 5Call us as soon as possible so we can find the cause and treat it.
