TREATMENT INFORMATION

Toothache in Reno, NV

When you experience tooth pain, the discomfort can prevent you from eating, talking and performing your daily tasks. Tooth pain requires a prompt resolution. While some toothaches can be treated at home with over-the-counter remedies, some do require help from your dentist.

Home Remedies For Toothaches

Some toothaches can be relieved with at-home care. Start by rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater to clear it of debris that might be irritating your tooth. Next, you can use a cold compress on the outside of your mouth to relieve the pain and swelling.

Taking over the counter pain medication can also relieve the pain. However, avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum. The dissolving aspirin can harm your gum tissue and make matters worse.

If you these solutions don’t help, you will likely need to visit your dentist.

Fixing A Broken and Displaced Tooth

When a tooth is broken or displaced, try not to panic. Take action quickly and the tooth should be easy to heal.

If the tooth is knocked out completely, save it (or save any pieces you can) in warm saltwater and call your dentist immediately. Next, rinse your mouth of any blood or other debris. After, place a cold compress on your cheek near the injury to reduce swelling and irritation. Take over-the-counter pain medication to relieve any additional pain.

It’s important to make an emergency visit to your dentist to fix the tooth and prevent further damage, so make sure you call the dentist immediately and explain the situation so they can get you in as soon as possible.

Repairing A Fractured Tooth

If you fracture your tooth, the first step to take is to rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the cheek to prevent swelling and irritation. You may also use over-the-counter pain medication to help control the swelling. If it is a minor fracture and the pulp is not severely damaged, the tooth can be sanded or restored by your dentist. A fractured tooth needs prompt attention, so don’t wait before coming in for toothache care.
