Specializes in Pain Management

See your dentist: This pain will not resolve on its own with home care. The most common type of dental pain is a tooth, and the second most common is a gum or combination of both tooth-gum pains. In order to get appropriate treatment it is important to know the underlying cause for this pain. Rec.: see your dentist for evaluation, x-rays and treatment.

Dental exam: Acetomimophen, Ibuprofen, or asprin are good pain relievers for pain from a toothache. You may swish warm salt water. Most importantly, however the tooth pain has a reason. You need to see your dentist or contact one soon for evaluation and treatment.

See a dentist: Don't wait. It will get worse while you delay. See a dentist ASAP.
