To help relieve your tooth pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ketorolac, but only under a doctor's guidance since prescription may be required. Applying a cold compress on the outside of your cheek and rinsing your mouth with warm salt water may also reduce discomfort temporarily.

🩺 When to See a Dentist

If your tooth pain has lasted for three days, it’s important to see a dentist for evaluation as it could indicate an infection, cavity, or other dental issues needing professional treatment.

⚠️ Warning Signs to Watch For

• Increasing pain or swelling
• Fever or difficulty swallowing
• Persistent bad taste or discharge in the mouth

Please consult a dentist promptly to determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment. If you develop severe symptoms or trouble breathing, seek emergency care immediately.
