A toothache can make you miserable, but there are things you can do to ease the pain until you’re able to see your dentist.

The American Dental Association advises:

• Use warm water to gently rinse your mouth.
• Floss gently to help remove food particles between teeth.
• Never place aspirin on gums or teeth that hurt, as it could cause burns on gum tissue.
• Make a dental appointment if the pain doesn’t stop.
