If you're experiencing a toothache, there are a few things you can try before calling our emergency line. 1. The most likely culprit of a toothache is a bit of food stuck between the teeth. Try flossing around the problem tooth. Remember to be gentle and not to force the floss between the teeth. 2. After flossing, rinse with warm salt water. If this makes it worse, try rinsing with cold water. Depending on the problem, cold water might feel better than warm water. ... 3. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever, as directed. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum or tooth. 4. Try rubbing an over-the-counter antiseptic containing benzocaine or clove oil onto the affected tooth and gum to numb the pain. 5. Place a cold compress on the outside of your cheek. If the pain is not managed by an over-the-counter pain reliever, give us a call at (510) 745-9299 from 10am- 12pm on weekdays and we'll discuss the next steps with you over the phone. Hope everyone is healthy and staying safe. Benjamin Chew, DDS
