Common Reasons for Tooth Pain<\/h2>\n

So what is the underlying cause of your toothache? In many cases, the pain could be a sign of advanced tooth decay or gum disease \u2013 both possible consequences of not practicing good oral hygiene. A tooth might also hurt because it has been cracked or broken in an accident. For many people, wisdom teeth typically cause pain because there\u2019s not enough room in the mouth for them to erupt properly. Finally, sometimes the issue is as simple as something stuck between your teeth that can be removed; you should try flossing around the affected tooth to rule out this possibility before you move on to other forms of pain relief.<\/p>\n

Over the Counter Remedies for Tooth Pain<\/h2>\n

Most over the counter general pain relievers should be able to help reduce your toothache pain. Acetaminophen is usually recommended for children while adults can choose from a wider selection of medications, such as ibuprofen or naproxen sodium. You can also try Orajel\u2122 Toothache Pain Relief Gel or other products that are specifically meant to address tooth pain. Of course, you should always talk to a physician or dentist before trying a certain kind of medication.<\/p>\n
