If your child has a toothache there are a few things you can do. If the pain is severe, consider making a dental appointment right away. In the meantime, an ice pack or over-the-counter pain medication (designed for children) can be used to help treat the pain. However, if the pain is not severe, have your child brush/floss and rinse out their mouth with water. Sometimes food stuck between teeth can cause some pain. But if the pain doesn’t go away, you should have your child see a dentist.
