How to manage a toothache at home

There could a number of causes for a toothache including decay, impacted wisdom teeth, sensitivity and gum disease, and until you’re able to see a dentist, you may need a quick remedy to help you manage pain at home.If you experience swelling and severe pain with fever, go to the ER immediately:

• Make a salt rinse by adding 2 teaspoons of salt to warm water, dissolve and swish around the mouth for one minute. Spit the water out and repeat as needed
• Apply a cold compress to the face for up to 15 minutes
• Take an over-the-counter pain medication like paracetamol or ibuprofen

What to do if your tooth is knocked out

If you have a knocked out or damaged tooth, it’s important to remain calm and act quickly while the tooth is still alive. The sooner you see a dentist the greater the chances that the tooth will survive.

• Pick the tooth up by the crown (the part you normally see) NOT by the root
• Rinse the tooth in milk or tap water for two seconds
• Gently and carefully place the tooth back into the socket and bite down on a piece of gauze. If you’re unable to place the tooth back, put it in a container of milk
• See a dentist immediately, ideally within 30 minutes.
