An acute toothache caused by a cavity or a damaged tooth may indicate infection or severe decay. You should see a dentist promptly for a proper evaluation. Treatment may include dental fillings, root canal therapy, or extraction. Meanwhile, maintain good oral hygiene and use over-the-counter pain relievers as needed. Avoid eating hard, sticky, or very hot and cold foods, as these could worsen the toothache.

Persistent tooth pain after an insect bite may indicate an allergic reaction, infection, or dental injury. You should see a dentist promptly for a proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek may help reduce swelling and discomfort. If you notice any worsening symptoms, such as fever, increased swelling, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.

Moxclav 625 (Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, including dental or gum infections that cause toothache. However, not all toothaches are due to bacterial infection; some may result from tooth decay, nerve inflammation, or other dental issues. You should not take Moxclav 625 without a dentist’s or doctor’s prescription, as unnecessary antibiotic use can lead to resistance or side effects such as diarrhoea or stomach upset. It’s best to consult a dentist to identify the cause of the toothache and start antibiotics only if a bacterial infection is confirmed.

Swelling and pain around a wisdom tooth may indicate a gum infection or inflammation. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or paracetamol, can help reduce discomfort temporarily. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water several times a day may also help reduce inflammation and keep the area clean. In some cases, antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin) may be prescribed to treat the infection. It is important to see a dentist promptly, as untreated infections can spread, and the wisdom tooth may require extraction to prevent complications.

A black spot on a tooth accompanied by pain is most commonly a sign of tooth decay, which may have developed into a cavity. However, other possibilities include enamel staining from foods or drinks, tartar buildup, or minor trauma to the tooth surface. The presence of pain suggests that the decay may have reached the inner layers of the tooth, potentially affecting the pulp (the soft innermost layer containing nerves and blood vessels). It is important to see a dentist promptly for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment.

You should schedule an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible. Depending on the severity, the dentist may recommend dental fillings for shallow cavities, root canal treatment and antibiotics for infected or painful teeth, or extraction if a tooth is too damaged to save. They may also suggest professional cleaning, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and advice on oral hygiene and dietary habits to prevent future cavities. Timely care will help relieve your pain, stop the decay from progressing, and restore your overall oral health.
