A sore tooth can be anything from a dull irritating pain to downright excruciating! Here are some tips to evaluate what is happening with your tooth and whether treatment at a dental office is in order:
- Clean the tooth with a toothpick, floss and or brush. Determine whether your tooth is sore because of a lodged piece of food stuck in-between your teeth.
-
If your tooth is still bothering you, take an aspirin or a pain-reliever.
-
Another medicine that gives relief is Anbesol – use it liberally on the area surrounding the tooth.
- A tried but true method is an ice pack, or if you don’t have an ice pack, you can use a bag of frozen veggies.
