How to manage a Toothache?
If you are not able to get to the dentist straight away, try these remedies!

Take a painkiller – Over-the-counter pain relief medication such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can ease the pain if it’s distracting or you’re finding it difficult to sleep. This will provide relief for about 4-6 hours.

Try salt water – Salt water helps to remove bacteria from the mouth and can reduce swelling. Add between a quarter and half a teaspoon of salt to warm water and gargle for at least 20 seconds.

Apply Ice – Ice can numb the pain in an area outside ...
... our mouth. It is great if you have a sore jaw or a toothache; however please be careful not to put it next to your tooth directly or else this may lead to more pain.

What causes Toothaches?
There isn’t one reason for getting a toothache. It is important that you visit your dentist to see what the reason is as soon as possible. Some of these can include:

Tooth decay – when a cavity reaches the inner part of the tooth known as the pulp or nerve, a toothache can follow! Sometimes even a small amount of decay may lead to sensitivity.
Trauma – when you get a nasty bump on your tooth, it can lead to sensitivity on biting or with temperature changes. It is important you come in immediately in the case of a trauma.
Gum disease – if you have gum problems, pain can result due to periodontitis. The bone regresses around your teeth and can lead to mobility and aches of the gum.
Abscess – a collection of pus is often very painful and makes you feel horrible. Infections like this can spread and must be taken seriously.
Wisdom teeth – a common reason for pain at the back of your mouth. Often impacted teeth can lead to food getting stuck around, and this can lead to pain.
Bruxism (teeth grinding) – if you grind your teeth, your teeth may be worn down enough to reveal your dentine layer. This is a painful layer which has nerve receptors.
Depending on your need for sedation and hospital visits, emergency care management can be facilitated on the same day with local anaesthesia and oral sedation. Other options may take longer to organise and may not be possible during COVID-19.
