If you are suffering from a persistent toothache, you should schedule an appointment with one of our dentists as soon as possible. In the meantime, before you are seen, there are a few things you can do to make yourself comfortable and prevent further issues: 

• Brush and floss normally, to keep your teeth debris-free,
• Take simple pain relievers (like paracetamol or ibuprofen) to alleviate the discomfort, 
• Apply a cold pack to the area to lessen any pain or swelling, 
• Rinse with salt water or a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution after eating.
