A toothache can be debilitating. Rather than become miserable, there are ways to ease the pain.

Key takeaways:

 

  • Stay away from cold water; instead use warm water to gently rinse the mouth.
  • Floss teeth gently and regularly to get rid of food particles that may be stuck between teeth.
  • If the pain is unbearable or persists, visit a dentist for a checkup and appropriate treatment.

Never place aspirin on gums or teeth that hurt, as it could cause burns on gum tissue.
