Simple tips to help with toothache

If you have any tenderness in your mouth that is not eased with over the counter pain relief please contact a dentist.
If you have any unusual swellings or lumps in your mouth that don’t feel normal please contact your dentist.
Teeth can sometimes become very sensitive to hot and cold food and drink. This pain may start to linger for a few hours. It is best to see a dentist so they can assess the problem.
If your gums bleed spontaneously and you wake with blood on your pillow, see a dentist.
If you knock out a permanent tooth, seek professional help.
If you have had a tooth extracted and the wound continues to bleed, please call your dentist for advice.
