Toothache and Emergency Dentistry
What Causes Toothache?
Toothache can be caused by many different reasons such as tooth decay, food residues stuck between two teeth, gum diseases, tooth cracks, tooth abrasions and even sinusitis. However, the most common cause of toothache is deep dental caries that develop in the presence of inadequate oral hygiene.
How Toothache Passes?
In some cases where toothache occurs, the person can resort to some natural ways to relieve the pain by himself. For example; Rinsing the tooth with warm salt water, applying light pressure to the painful area for 20 minutes every few hours with the help of cold ice wrapped in a towel, or using over-the-counter pain relievers can reduce pain and inflammation. If these methods do not show any benefit, it is necessary to see a dentist as soon as possible.
