If you’re in severe pain that’s hindering your ability to eat or sleep, please contact us immediately as it’s considered a dental emergency. We can offer guidance over the phone and arrange to see you as soon as possible. For temporary relief from toothache, place a cold compress over the affected area. Painkillers like acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) or ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) may help alleviate your discomfort, but be sure to follow the instructions on the bottle and your doctor’s advice. Keep track of the medication, dosage, and time taken, and inform us during your visit.
