Toothache

A toothache may result from nothing more than having a particle of food stuck in your teeth, which can be removed with dental floss. On the other hand it could be an early indicator of something more serious, so if it persists, you should consult your dentist.

Toothaches can result from broken teeth, infection, gum disease, and the emergence of wisdom teeth. Temporary relief can be obtained from over the counter pain relievers, benzocaine, or simply avoiding hot or cold foods/liquids.
