Acute toothache - what to relieve?
What should you do if you can’t see a dentist?
A quick and effective way to alleviate acute tooth pain before seeing a doctor is to use medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics.
In emergencies, use medications that you have used before without side effects, but not for more than three days.
Should you see a dentist if the pain is temporary?
Even if the tooth pain disappears after taking medication and no longer bothers you, be sure to visit a clinic to prevent complications and determine the cause of the pain with professional equipment.
Unpleasant sensations do not occur without cause. Before visiting a dentist, avoid painkillers so that the doctor can see all the symptoms and prescribe the correct treatment.
