Toothache: Treatment
(In a Page: Signs and Symptoms)

  • Reversible pulpitis from tooth decay can be treated with a restoration (e.g., filling or crown)
  • Irreversible pulpitis requires root canal or tooth extraction if the tooth is not salvageable
  • Incision and drainage of an abscess will often result in instant relief of pain
  • Penicillin for oral infections (clindamycin if severe)
  • Appropriate oral antibiotics (e.g. amoxicillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) for sinusitis or otitis
  • TMJ: avoidance of gum chewing and bruxing, bite block, NSAIDs, topical ice massage
  • Migraine: pain relievers (e.g., acetaminophen, NSAIDs) migraine specific medications (e.g., triptans) and preventative therapy (e.g., gabapentin, riboflavin)
