THE AGONY OF A TOOTHACHE

Q: What should I do if I get a toothache?

A: A toothache can be an excruciating experience. Its relentless throbbing can make it impossible for a person to concentrate on anything else. The pain can wake you, or keep you awake, at night, and make you reluctant to eat for fear of aggravating the situation. Temporary measures — ice, clove oil, aspirin — may ease the pain. But if you have a toothache, you most likely have an infection that needs the attention of a dentist.
Putting off treatment with the use of home remedies only exacerbates the situation. If the cause of the toothache is decay that has caused infection, the tooth is going to need immediate treatment from the dentist. The treatment could be a filling, an extraction or some other procedure, like a root canal. The sooner you visit the dentist, the sooner you get relief.
