Hi,

I appreciate you for writing while you are not feeling okay. First of all, I would like you to know that toothache could be from one of the several causes which include, dental caries, trauma, gingival/periodontal condition, etc.

In order to rule out the cause for tooth ache I will suggest you see the dentist soon. Also, warm saline rinses 4-5 times a day can definitely take away the tooth ache if their is some inflammation associated with the tooth. Please prefer not to brush your teeth with salt / water as it is a little abrasive for your teeth. For the dizziness, I feel it could be either from weakness if your tooth has an infection or not at all related to tooth.

But, again it will be best if you could get your tooth examined by the dentist. I will advise you to take good rest and drink electrolyte to hydrate yourself.

I hope this answer was useful for you. Feel free to write back if you have further questions. I wish you good health. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Anshika Taneja
