A throbbing pain may be caused by the infection of the end of the tooth root. Pain in a wisdom tooth may be felt near the ear. However, as it is difficult to determine the reason for pain on the basis of the pain alone, you should always visit a dentist if you have toothache.

Frequently asked questions
There are several different ways to relieve toothache, depending on the cause of the pain. An ice pack or a thermal pack can help to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Brushing softly and flossing can also help if the pain is caused by an irritation from food or bacteria. Also, the correct use of painkillers can temporarily relieve the pain.
If you experience toothache, you should visit a dentist as soon as possible as oral problems do not subside spontaneously.
Toothache can be relieved by using an ice pack or a thermal pack on the sore area, avoiding beverages and hard foods, and resting. Pain may also be temporarily relieved with painkillers, but they do not eliminate the cause of the toothache. The cause should be determined and treated to prevent the pain from recurring.
Anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and paracetamol temporarily relieve toothaches. However, painkillers do not eliminate the cause of the toothache. It is always advisable to ask your pharmacist or healthcare professional for the correct dosage and medication for your situation.
