Severe tooth pain can make everyday activities difficult, from eating and drinking to sleeping comfortably. In many cases, toothaches are caused by cavities, infections, cracked teeth, gum disease, or exposed nerves. While professional dental care is the best solution, several treatments can help reduce discomfort and provide temporary relief until you visit a dentist.
One of the most common methods for easing severe tooth pain is using over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. These medications can reduce inflammation and lessen pain for several hours. Applying a cold compress to the outside of the cheek can also help minimize swelling and numb the painful area.
