An impacted tooth can&#8217;t erupt properly and instead pushes against the neighbouring tooth.

Teeth can crack or break for a number of reasons, including:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Damage from tooth decay<\/li>    <li>Old fillings<\/li>    <li>Biting down on something hard<\/li>    <li>An injury to the face or mouth<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>You&#8217;ll be able to see or feel a crack in your tooth, or feel a part of it come away.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to stop a toothache from a broken tooth<\/h3>    <p>Painkillers might help with the pain but you can make an emergency dental appointment if you need stronger pain relief. It&#8217;s important to get a broken tooth repaired or treated ASAP, even if the pain subsides. Avoid eating on that tooth in the meantime, since this will increase tooth nerve pain and may cause further damage. The deeper a crack goes, the less likely the tooth can be rescued.<\/p>    <p>Keep any broken pieces of tooth, if you have them. This will help your dentist match any reconstructions to the original shape. Use chewing gum or orthodontic wax to cover any sharp bits of tooth in your mouth that might cut your tongue or gum.

Very few of the underlying causes of toothache can be cured at home, although you can take medicines to relieve the pain.<\/p>    <p>The toothache treatment you receive at the dentist will depend on what&#8217;s causing the pain and how serious any tooth damage is. Treatment might involve:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Strong painkillers (such as tramadol)<\/li>    <li>Antibiotics<\/li>    <li>A filling<\/li>    <li>Root canal treatment<\/li>    <li>A dental crown<\/li>    <li>Tooth extraction<\/li> <\/ul>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to see a dentist about teeth pain<\/h3>    <p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/toothache\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">advice from the NHS<\/a> is to visit a dentist if:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Your toothache lasts more than two days<\/li>    <li>Painkillers like ibuprofen and paracetamol don&#8217;t help<\/li>    <li>You have a high temperature<\/li>    <li>Your tooth hurts when you bite down or touch it<\/li>    <li>You have red gums<\/li>    <li>There&#8217;s a bad taste in your mouth<\/li>    <li>Your cheek or jaw are swollen<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Perhaps you&#8217;re putting off visiting a dentist to treat your tooth pain because you&#8217;re worried about the treatment itself.

The dentist may treat your tooth right away, or they may give you medicine to relieve the pain until you can receive complete treatment. <\/p>    <p>Dentists can administer strong painkillers for emergency toothache relief when you&#8217;re experiencing severe tooth pain.

You can apply clove oil to the sore teeth and gums or rinse your mouth with salt water periodically.<\/p>    <p>Meanwhile, you can stop toothache getting any worse by avoiding the following things which can aggravate sore teeth:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Hot and cold foods and drinks<\/li>    <li>Anything very sugary, acidic or spicy<\/li>    <li>Hard, crunchy or chewy foods<\/li>    <li>Chewing on or near the painful tooth<\/li>    <li>Smoking<\/li> <\/ul>         <div class=\"dentist-tip\">          <div class=\"dentist-tip__title\">             Ask a dentist: How can I treat my toothache at home?        <\/div>          <div class=\"dentist-tip__content\">             <\/p>    <p>If you have a severe toothache, many home remedies will not work because the problem is with a deeper injury or infection.

It&#8217;s quite common to experience toothache, headache and earache all together.<\/p>    <p>You might be grinding your teeth without realising &#8211; either as a result of toothache or because of a condition called bruxism. Common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/teeth-grinding-bruxism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tooth grinding symptoms<\/a> include headaches and jaw pain.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does it mean if I have toothache and earache?<\/h3>    <p>Experiencing a toothache and earache together might mean you have a problem with one of your upper back teeth. It could be an impacted wisdom tooth, or decay or infection in a molar, for example. It could also be nasal congestion causing the pain, but if you don&#8217;t have any signs of a cold, you should visit a dentist to have the problem checked out.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I do about tooth crown pain?<\/h3>    <p>It&#8217;s normal to experience some sensitivity after having a dental crown fitted, just while the swelling around your tooth and gum subsides. Sometimes an adjustment is needed for a better fit. If your crown is still causing you pain after a couple of days, especially when you bite down, mention it to your dentist.<\/p>    <p>Pain from an old tooth crown is a sign that the tooth below could be decaying further, so your dentist will need to check this.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does pain last after tooth extraction?<\/h3>    <p>Pain after tooth extraction shouldn&#8217;t last for more than a day or two, depending on how complicated the extraction was. Some people don&#8217;t experience any pain once the anaesthetic has worn off. Your dentist might give you painkillers to control any tooth extraction pain, or you can take ibuprofen or paracetamol to help.<\/p>    <p>If you start experiencing severe, throbbing tooth pain 1-5 days after an extraction, speak to your dentist straight away. This is a sign of dry socket, a condition that will require extra treatment.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is my toothache worse at night?<\/h3>    <p>A toothache can feel worse at night because when you lie down, the blood pressure in your head increases, including on the areas around your tooth which are already inflamed and painful. Elevating your head with a pillow can help decrease the discomfort of a toothache at night.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do my teeth hurt when I have a cold?<\/h3>    <p>You might experience a sinus toothache when you have a cold because your sinuses are enlarged. This is not a sign of problems with your teeth; your sinus cavity is putting pressure on your tooth root.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do I have throbbing tooth pain that comes and goes?<\/h3>    <p>Toothache can manifest itself in different ways. You might feel constant sharp pain or a dull throbbing tooth pain comes and goes in waves. In any case, it&#8217;s not much fun to live with. You should get to see a dentist as soon as possible.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does it mean if all my teeth hurt on one side?<\/h3>    <p>If you experience tooth pain on one side, it may be due to teeth grinding and an uneven bite. Or, it could be that one of the teeth on that side is infected and the pain is radiating outwards.<\/p> <div class=\"socials_share\"><ul class=\"share-buttons\">     <li class=\"share_item
