TOOTHACHE

How do I get a toothache to go away?

 

Does the pain go away after you stop drinking?

If it does, there’s a good chance your tooth has reversible pulpitis meaning that an infection or mechanical trauma is close to the nerve. This could possibly be solved with a simple filling or crown. In more extensive cases, a root canal or extraction may be needed. If you are experiencing this kind of sensitivity contact your dentist immediately.
