Video Transcript

"So are you looking on how you can relieve your toothache pain? Well, my name's Michelle McPhail, and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz, and hopefully I'll be able to help you out with that. There's a couple different things that you can do. You can actually go to the pharmacy and purchase an over-the-counter pain reliever. Advil or Ibuprofen would be great for this because it's an anti-inflammatory. It's going to help with any inflammation that you're having from your toothache. Also, purchasing over-the-counter Orajel, which is basically...it's a...it's basically a little mouth gel that you can place on your tooth and around your gums. It'll numb the area for about a good 20 to 30 minutes. It's a great form to do, like, right before you're getting ready to eat and you don't want to have any discomfort while you're eating. You just put this on your tooth and your gums, and it'll keep it numb for you for a good 20 to 30 minutes. But mainly, you would need to go see your general dentist if your problem is still persisting and all the things that I've just talked to you about as far as to relieve your toothache pain. If your problems are still persisting with that, you would definitely need to go see your general dentist so, therefore, he can kind of maybe give you a prescription of a pain reliever or an antibiotic to help with the toothache. Once again, my name is Michelle, and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz. And hopefully, I just explained to you on how to relieve your toothache pain."
