Tooth ache?
I agree with the 1st responder, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever will help with the inflammation. If your tooth ache is due to an infection, it would be a good idea to see a Dr. so that you can get on antibiotics, that is one infection that will not go away on it's own. Plus, as long as there is an infection, there will be pain.





If the toothache is being caused by root exposure, you could make sure to rinse with a product containing fluoride and making sure to use a non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush. (All of the whitening and tartar control pastes are quite abrasive). If it is root exposure, you could maybe try putting a dab of toothpaste on the area and/or putting gauze there (cold and or air sometimes cause sensitivity).





There are a few products that you can get from the drugstore that might help numb the area until you are able to get to a Dr. too.





I am sorry you are experiencing this pain and hopefully it will get fixed soon. Good luck.
Reply:Oh, boy, I've been there. I would recommend taking advil or motrin, they act as an anti-inflammatory to reduce the inflammation you may have. Take two every four hours.
