Emergency Dental Pain Tips.
If you have dental pain over a weekend and can’t see a dentist right away, here’s what you can do:
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help reduce inflammation and clean the area.
Take over-the-counter pain relief like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, following the recommended dose and checking with the pharmacist firstly.
Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling and numb pain.
Avoid very hot, cold, or sugary foods and drinks that might worsen the pain.
Avoid chewing on the affected side to prevent aggravating the pain.
If there’s swelling, difficulty breathing, or severe pain, seek immediate medical attention at the nearest emergency hospital.
Once the weekend is over, make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment.
