Instructions for care of urgent Toothache or Abscess care.
- Clean the area. This is best accomplished by gently flossing, brushing, and rinsing.
- Rinse vigorously with warm saltwater to dislodge any trapped food or debris.
- Do not place an aspirin on your gums. It will not help and will cause a chemical burn.
- Applying a cold compress may help to relieve pain and control swelling.
- Consider taking a pain reliever. Tooth pain is generally caused by inflammation. An anti-inflammatory pain reliever may be helpful.
- Call a Tri-cities dentist for an emergency appointment. Toothaches are a sign that there is a larger dental problem.
