Toothache in times of Lockdown.

I have a toothache and can't visit an dentist, what to do?

1. Incase of a toothache the first aid care that can be taken at home itself are:

   1. Warm water with salt rinses. 2 tablespoon of salt in half a glass of warm water making it really salty. the same is held on the side of the toothache and squished for around 20-30 sec 4 to 5 times a day.

   2. keep a clove in the mouth on the side of the tooth pain

   3. Consult us on the emergency numbers mentioned above.We might start you on a course of antibiotics and painkillers. Also note as per the latest advisory for corona virus all non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs are contraindicated.IN THIS SITUATION PARACETAMOL IS THE ONLY OPTION TO CONTROL PAIN.

   4. some times even after all this first aid, the pain does not subside. In such a situation please visit a dentist in a hospital setting where proper ventilation and care has been taken for controlling cross infection.
