General Health Information

If the pain wakes you up at night, then it is serious. You could have
an abscessed tooth; that means the pulp of the tooth has died,
resulting in an infection that can spread to the gum and even to the
bone. Putting off dental attention for a toothache can mean bad news.
Deal pain with pain relief options
and measures until you get to the dentist’s office: cool the swelling
by using cold compress, chill the pain, take an aspirin, keep your head
up, rinse the pain with warm water, floss to remove food debris that
could be trapped, be careful with hot, cold and sweet foods and
beverages, plug it with gauze if the tooth feels sensitive.
