I have been experiencing toothache for 3 days, and it has worsened today. What should I do?

Asked by Female, 40 ยท 5 days ago

A toothache that has lasted for 3 days and is getting worse usually means there is an underlying dental problem, such as tooth decay, infection, or gum inflammation, that will not settle on its own. For immediate relief, you can take a simple pain reliever like paracetamol, avoid chewing on the affected side, and rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water to reduce irritation. However, these are only temporary measures; the most important step is to visit a dentist as soon as possible for proper examination and treatment, which may include cleaning, filling, root canal treatment, or extraction, depending on the cause. Do not delay care, especially if you develop swelling, fever, or severe pain, as this could indicate a spreading infection that needs prompt treatment.
