Healthy teeth.Tooth pain often feels worse at night because lying flat sends more blood to the head, and there is nothing else to distract you. If you are searching for an emergency dentist in Greater Noida at midnight, these steps may ease discomfort until you can be seen. They do not fix the cause.
Things that can help
- Rinse gently with warm salt water
- Floss softly in case food is stuck
- Keep your head slightly raised with an extra pillow
- Hold a cold pack against the cheek for short periods
- Take an over-the-counter pain reliever only as directed on its label
Things to avoid
- Do not place aspirin or any tablet directly on the gum
- Avoid very hot or very cold food and drink
- Do not try to remove a lump or burst an abscess yourself
- Do not ignore the pain if it settles; the problem may still be there
Common causes of night-time toothache
Deep decay reaching the nerve, a cracked tooth, an infected tooth or gum, a loose filling and an erupting wisdom tooth are common causes. Some of these need a root canal, while others need a simple filling or wisdom tooth removal. Only an examination can tell which.
When to seek urgent help
Swelling that spreads to the face or neck, fever, trouble swallowing or breathing, or injury after an accident need urgent medical attention. For other tooth pain, call us on +91-9971261414 the next morning and tell us how long it has been going on. We will do our best to see you quickly.
