Toothache may indicate an underlying dental issue that needs attention. If you experience discomfort, consider arranging an appointment with your dentist for assessment.

Call us on (07) 5477 0889 for further advice.

Until you can get to see one of our dentists, we recommend the following toothache first aid tips:

• Rinse your mouth thoroughly with warm water
• Use dental floss to remove any food particles wedged between your teeth
• Take an over-the-counter pain reliever to dull the ache. Check with the pharmacist which medicine is best for you – any allergies and intolerances need to be borne in mind, and possible interference with any other medication you may already be taking considered
