Toothache: Let your pain not hinder your smile!

Toothache is a pain that may be localized/generalized or dull/sharp, caused by tooth decay, gum disease, or sensitive teeth.  

Contact Dr. Shoaib Durrani at Durrani’s Dental Clinic at Bukhari Commercial-DHA, Karachi for the best advice.

The fastest way to stop toothache at home: Remedies at home can help, but temporarily!

The fastest way would be to use painkillers, but some toothache remedies may soothe the pain significantly but not permanently;

  • Rinse your mouth with lukewarm saltwater.
  • Put a teabag, cold compress, or clove on the affected tooth.


The pain will only go away permanently when you get the cause removed by a dentist.

What is better for tooth pain, heat, or cold? Let’s make the sensitivity lesser!

Never apply heat to the area of the toothache, it will worsen the pain & swelling. Apply a cold compress (an ice cube to the rescue!) to make the pain lesser.
