Tooth Ache
The first treatment for a tooth ache is to thoroughly clean the area. This should include brushing and flossing.

Next, an over the counter anti-inflammatory may be taken to reduce pain. Do not take aspirin which can thin the blood and delay extraction, should that become necessary.

Cold compresses can be used to control swelling, do not use anything warm, even though it may feel good. Heat will increase swelling if there is infection present.

Follow-up with your dentist for definitive treatment.
