Frequently Asked Questions

What can I do while waiting to see my dentist?

Make sure your mouth is clean. Rinse with lukewarm saltwater and gently floss around the painful area to remove any food particles that may be contributing to your pain. Place a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to help relieve some of the pain and inflammation.

The dental team will perform a physical exam. We will check your mouth, teeth, gums, jaws, tongue, throat, sinuses, ears, nose and neck. You’ll may get X-rays of your mouth taken to show the cause of your toothache.

Practise a regular oral hygiene routine. Failure to brush and floss regularly can increase your risk of developing cavities, which can cause toothache.

  • Brush your teeth at least twice a day, preferably after meals and snacks.
  • Floss the areas between your teeth at least once a day to remove food particles.
  • Visit your Melbourne dentist regularly for oral examinations and professional cleaning.
