How to respond to a dental emergency before visiting a dental clinic?
- Responding to toothache
Supposing you are traveling by air, you may experience tooth pain. This situation usually arises due to air penetration into your cavity. Ordinarily, you can’t rule out air penetration into your teeth or cavity, just that the imbalance becomes higher if you are in an airplane. If you notice this, don’t panic, the pain will stop the moment your alight from the plan.
What if you experience toothache? It is a different situation entirely. Once you disembark from the airplane, rinse your mouth thoroughly with floss to get rid of anything that might have to get stocked in your teeth. But if the pain persists, apply painkiller pills to reduce the pain level. After that, you can visit a dentist for a thorough medical checkup.
