Toothaches are often very aggressive and never say “hello” to the patient. If you have a toothache during the day, you can go directly to the hospital, but if you suddenly have a toothache at night, where can we find a doctor? At this time, we need the nighttime toothache emergency method.
Nocturnal toothache emergency
Constant pain or throbbing pain in the tooth, but no pain or no noticeable bite
If the pain is aggravated by hot or cold stimulation, but sometimes the pain may be relieved by cold water, and the pain is not aggravated by biting or is not obvious, there is a high possibility of pulpitis.
Solution: Take painkillers to relieve the pain and go to the dental clinic for treatment as soon as possible.
Constant pain or throbbing pain in the teeth and significant biting pain
Sometimes the pain is aggravated by gentle contact with the teeth. In severe cases, the gums at the root of the tooth may swell up to a visible pus, and even the cheeks may swell up, which is an inflammation of the root tip.
Solution: Take painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs under the supervision of a doctor to temporarily suppress the pain, and if pus pockets appear at the gums, they need to be drained (a professional doctor is required).
Pain in hot and cold, but not in other cases
This type of toothache is usually caused by tooth decay and the patient needs to avoid eating too hot or too cold food and see a dentist as soon as possible.
Solution: If the tooth pulp is infected, it needs to receive root canal treatment and then fill the cavity.
The innermost tooth is so painful that you can’t open your mouth

Solution: If the pain seriously affects your life and sleep, you can take antibiotics and painkillers temporarily, but you must see a dentist as soon as possible.

Tooth decay, periodontitis and other diseases can cause tooth pain, it is recommended that patients should seek medical attention in time after the pain appears, the only way to eliminate the pain is to eliminate the inflammation of the affected teeth, if delayed, the condition will become more and more serious.
