If you suddenly develop a toothache, there are several ways to relieve the pain before visiting the dentist.
1. Taking NSAIDs
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are, as the name suggests, a group of non-hormonal drugs that have an anti-inflammatory effect.
In the pharmacy, NSAIDs are presented in different forms: you can find tablets, capsules, injection solutions, ointments, gels, etc.
2. Dental drops
This option is suitable if the cause of toothache is caries.
It is necessary to form a turunda from cotton wool and soak it in the medicine, then insert it into the destroyed cavity of the tooth.
3. Non-drug means
This category includes rinsing, compresses or using herbal infusions.
Important: even if you managed to stop the attack on your own, this does not eliminate the need to visit a doctor.
