1.Clean the area. This is best accompished by gently flossing, brushing, and rinsing.
2.Rinse vigorously with warm salt water to dislodge any trapped food or debris.
3.Do not place an aspirin on your gums. It will not help and will cause a chemical burn.
4.Applying a cold compress may help to relieve pain and control swelling.
5.Consider taking a pain reliever. Tooth pain is generally caused by inflammation. An anti-inflammatory pain reliever may be helpful.
6.Call an emergency dentist. Toothaches are a sign that something is wrong. Even if the pain goes away, more than likely a condition exists that will get worse and eventially cause pain again.
