Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing in.
I would like to tell you that toothache starts due to following reasons:-
-when the tooth is deeply carious & approaches pulp. In such it requires Root Canal Treatment to save tooth
- when there is periodontal problem & gums are receding. In such it requires gum massage & desensitizing toothpaste.
Before starting with a course of medication its better to consult a dentist & rule out the cause by proper diagnosis & treatment planing.
Meanwhile in case pain is acute I would start ketorolac 10 mg as & when required.
You can start with proper course of analgesic & antibiotic after consulting dentist.
Also do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day.
Apply clove oil to that region.
Do not worry at all.
Hope I answered your query
Wishing you good health
Regards
Dr. Neha Sumra
