If you are experiencing a toothache but can\’t make it in right away, there are a few things you can do at home to help ease the suffering. Rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater is a great first step towards relief. To make a saltwater rinse, add ½ a teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water. Swish the rinse around your mouth for ten to twelve seconds, then spit it out. Make sure you don\’t swallow the saltwater, as all that salt can be dehydrating and isn\’t healthy to ingest!
You can also floss thoroughly to make sure there is no lodged food that is causing pain.
Pain relievers like aspirin, Tylenol, and ibuprofen can help if you follow the recommended dosages and check with your physician.
Cold compresses can also help relieve swelling and pain.
Finally, you can use over the counter topical anesthetics to numb the pain until you can make it in. Look for products with 5%-20% benzocaine as the active ingredient.
