Self-care at home
For toothaches:
Over-the-counter pain medications such as paracetamol or ibuprofen may be used. Take these as directed on the package while you arrange a dental appointment.
Avoid very cold or hot foods as they may make the pain worse.
Relief may be obtained by biting on some cotton wool soaked in oil of cloves. Oil of cloves is available at most pharmacies.
For jaw pain:
Aspirin may be helpful for problems in the joint of the jaw - the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) - in adults. Paracetamol (not aspirin) should be used for children and teenagers.
If pain occurs every time you open your mouth widely, the TMJ may be the source of the pain. Yawning or taking a large bite of food may intensify the pain. An appointment with your doctor or dentist will help to determine the cause.
