Anchorage, AK (prHWY.com) April 17, 2012 - A really bad toothache can be one of the most excruciating experiences. While the first thing you should do is to contact dentist in Anchorage ASAP, there are many things you can avoid to ensure the pain does not aggravate.

Applying ice

Applying ice to the painful part of your mouth can numb the area, but it can also make worsen the situation. The application of ice can cause irritation and pain to the exposed nerve and result in exactly the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish.

Consuming hot tea or soup

A hot soup or coffee can make you feel better momentarily, but the extreme temperature change can cause your toothache to trigger once more.

Over the counter medication

While the medication can keep the pain at bay temporarily, these pills do nothing to fix the source of the pain. And there are the added side-effects that come along with the pain killers? By continuing to suppress the pain and allowing the inflamed area to aggravate further, you could be inching closer to loosing your tooth.

Clove oil

Many people vouch for the soothing properties of clove oil but what the herb actually does is to anesthetize the painful area and not necessarily removing the root cause.

The best thing to do when you are struck with a toothache is to call your local Anchorage dentist at the earliest. Don't delay your appointment with the dentist; only an Anchorage dentist can relive you from your teeth problems.
