If you are currently experiencing intense pain that hinders your ability to eat or sleep, we consider it a dental emergency, and we strongly urge you to contact our office immediately. We are available to provide immediate advice over the phone and schedule an appointment for you as soon as possible. Our priority is to address your situation promptly.
For temporary relief from a toothache, we recommend applying a cold compress to the affected area of your face. This can help alleviate the pain to some extent. Additionally, you may find relief by taking an over-the-counter pain reliever such as acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) or ibuprofen (e.g., Advil). It is important to always follow the guidance of your doctor or pharmacist and carefully read the instructions on the medication bottle. Remember to make a note of the medication you took, the dosage, and the time it was taken. This information will be helpful for us to know when you come in for your appointment.
Please remember that contacting us without delay is crucial in addressing your dental emergency effectively. We are here to provide you with guidance, support, and the necessary dental care to alleviate your pain and ensure your well-being.
