What Helps Toothache?

Toothache is something almost everyone experiences at least once in their lifetime. Because this pain can affect individuals of all ages, we all know how uncomfortable and disruptive it can be. Toothache may be temporary or may require long-term treatment depending on the underlying cause. So why does toothache occur, how can it be prevented, and what can you do at home to relieve it?

Why Does Toothache Occur?

There are several possible reasons for toothache. Common causes include:

Request a Free Treatment Plan from Our Expert Doctors

  1. Tooth decay
  2. Dental abscess
  3. Gum sensitivity
  4. Problems related to dental prostheses
  5. Cracked teeth
  6. Wisdom teeth eruption

Food particles stuck between the teeth after meals can also trigger pain.

To prevent toothache, the most important step is maintaining proper oral hygiene: brushing twice per day, using dental floss, and rinsing with mouthwash. Regular dental check-ups help detect potential problems early and prevent severe future pain.

To identify the cause of your toothache and receive proper treatment, contact Milim Dental.

What Helps Toothache?

There are both permanent treatments and temporary pain-relief methods depending on the cause of your toothache.

✔ Permanent solutions (performed by a dentist):

  1. Root canal treatment: if the pain is caused by an infection or deep decay
  2. Tartar cleaning: if gum irritation is due to plaque and tartar buildup
  3. Dental fillings: if the pain is caused by cavities

✔ Temporary Home Remedies to Relieve Toothache

Until you visit a dentist, you may reduce pain with simple at-home methods:

1. Saltwater rinse

Saltwater helps reduce bacteria and may ease pain caused by decay or infection.

2. Warm water gargle

Gargling with warm water 2–3 times a day helps soothe sensitivity.

3. Cold compress

Wrap ice in a cloth and apply it to the cheek for 15–20 minutes to reduce pain and swelling.

4. Clove or clove oil

Clove naturally numbs the area and helps reduce both pain and bad odor caused by infection. You can chew a clove or apply clove oil to the painful area with a cotton pad.

These remedies do not treat the underlying problem, they only provide temporary relief.

⚠ When to See a Dentist Immediately

If your symptoms include:

  1. Fever
  2. Facial swelling
  3. Ear or throat pain
  4. Persistent or increasing toothache

…you should consult a dentist or dental hospital without delay. These symptoms may indicate infection or abscess, which cannot heal on their own.
