However, it\u2019s not uncommon for a person to develop a toothache after their dentist\u2019s office closes for the day, meaning that they may have to wait to get help. Here are a few tried and proven home remedies to toothache so you can get some shuteye before you contact your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cromerandcairnsdental.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dentist<\/a> in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try Flossing First<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your toothache takes the form of oversensitivity or an uncomfortable sense of pressure, it may be caused by large debris caught between your teeth. If you notice that you have a toothache at night, the first home remedy to try is a thorough oral hygiene session that includes brushing and flossing. This can dislodge a stubborn bit of debris from your teeth, potentially giving you instant relief from your dental discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Your Head in an Elevated Position<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your toothache persists after a thorough oral hygiene session, it may be caused by the pulp tissue being exposed to bacteria due to infection or injury. In this case, greater blood pressure within the troubled tooth will result in greater stress in its tissues, which can significantly amplify the pain of your toothache. Thankfully, using pillows or cushions to prop up your head and chest while laying down can slightly reduce the amount of blood flowing to your head and give you some relief from the symptoms of your toothache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clove Oil Is an Ancient Home Remedy for Toothache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the dawn of modern dental science, people of various cultures used clove oil to reduce their toothache symptoms, and many today find that this home remedy is still an effective way to temporarily relieve their dental discomfort. Applying a small amount of clove oil to a cotton ball and placing it over the afflicted tooth can reduce pain and make it much easier to get some rest until you can call your emergency dentist in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should not expect your toothache to get better on its own if it is caused by injury or infection. Getting emergency dental care when you need it can relieve your dental pain, prevent tooth loss, and preserve your long-term oral and overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cromer &amp; Cairns Dental provides the finest oral healthcare available to the community of Vero Beach.
