Frequently Asked Questions about Toothache

What can I do to get rid of my toothache?

We recommend seeking a dental consult and treatment to get rid of the toothache. Until such time, you can take over the counter pain relief medication like Panadol or Ibuprofen to manage the pain.

How can I avoid a toothache in the future?

You can avoid a toothache by simple practices such as

  • Regular Dental Check-ups.
  • Regular oral hygiene practices like brushing twice a day and flossing.
  • Using a fluoride toothpaste.
  • Adding more fresh fruit and vegetables to your diet.
  • Minimising intake of sugary & acidic food and beverages.
  • Wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth at night.
  • Wearing a mouthguard for contact sports.

How much will an emergency toothache relief appointment cost?

The cost can vary depending upon the various factors like what is the cause of the pain, what sort of treatment is required to relief the pain, & would you need any ongoing care for the same tooth etc. We offer same day emergency appointments to help you get rid of the pain as soon as possible. A toothache consult will cost $69.

Will antibiotics or clove oil help get rid of the toothache?

Antibiotics should only be taken as prescribed by your GP or your dentist. Clove oil may provide temporary relief, but it will not get rid of the root cause of the problem.
