Since there can be many different causes for toothache, the best thing to do is to go to a dentist and have the tooth evaluated. Sometimes it is a fairly easy fix, such as a filling or cleaning out the gum pocket around the tooth, but sometimes it can be an infection that can lead to more serious problems. A dentist can take an x-ray or two and properly diagnose and treat the problem.

Be diligent with home care, meaning brushing and flossing twice per day to remove debris to keep your gums healthy. Take over-the-counter pain medication and contact your Dentist. Should you have a fever, or swelling in the area of the toothache, or if the swelling obstructs your breathing, report to the Emergency room at your nearest hospital.

See your dentist! A toothache that lingers needs to be evaluated for decay, loose or missing fillings that can cause pain or the nerve may be inflamed which might require a root canal treatment.
