You have a toothache! Now, you\u2019re\nworried about your holiday being ruined. To top it all off, most dental offices\nare no doubt closed for the holidays, so you\u2019ll have to suffer through this\npain for a few days at least. Not to worry \u2013 there are a few things you can do\nat home to lessen your pain until you can be seen by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierwalkindental.com\/same-day-emergency-procedures.html\">your\nemergency dentist<\/a> in Rockledge. Continue reading to find out what they are.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apply a Cold Compress <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your toothache is accompanied by swelling, you can apply\na cold compress or ice pack to the area for 20 minutes at a time several times\na day. This will cut down on swelling and help ease your pain. It can also be\nhelpful if you chipped a tooth or have a loose tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that more often than not, swelling indicates an\ninfection that, if not treated soon enough, could spread to other areas of the\nbody. Always call your dentist to schedule the earliest possible appointment.\nEven if the office is closed, someone will be checking the messages as soon as\nthe office opens and will get you in right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rinse with Saltwater <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saltwater is a classic remedy because it\u2019s safe,\ninexpensive, effective, and everyone has salt on hand at home. First, gently\nfloss the area. Then, let half a tablespoon of salt dissolve in an eight-ounce\nglass of water. Finally, swish this mixture around in your mouth for 30 seconds\nbefore spitting. You can safely use this remedy several times a day to kill\nbacteria and promote healing of the soft tissues in your mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take an Over-the-Counter Painkiller <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acetaminophen is usually recommended for children\u2019s\ntoothaches, while adults can often take the store-bought pain reliever of their\nchoice. It should be noted that ibuprofen works particularly well for oral\npain. Take it as suggested on the bottle. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the\narea \u2013 it could actually irritate the gum tissue and make your pain worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Natural Remedies <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you happen to have any clove oil on hand, you can apply a\nsmall amount to the affected area with a cotton swab. Alternatively, you can\nadd a few drops to a glass of water and then rinse and spit. This remedy has\nbeen shown to effectively soothe irritated oral tissues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Call Your Emergency Dentist ASAP <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While these temporary fixes are great for relieving pain,\nthey are just that \u2013 temporary. It\u2019s important to call your emergency dentist\nin Rockledge as soon as you can to get treatment and address the root of the\nproblem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierwalkindental.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Sowmya\nKumar<\/a> graduated from the prestigious University of Florida\u2019s School of\nDentistry.
