  • How do I treat a toothache?

    For toothaches, rinse your mouth with warm water to clean it out. Gently use dental floss to remove any food caught between your teeth. 

    Aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and similar over-the-counter pain relievers can provide temporary relief when taken as directed.

    If you're unsure if a dental problem is an emergency, we offer this advice: If it hurts, it's an emergency and you should call Dr. Tomlinson.
