The best thing you can do when caring for someone with a toothache is to make an appointment with a dentist. The dentist can make sure that your friend or loved one is properly treated for his toothache.
Another good way to help care for someone who has had toothaches is to make sure that he is practicing good oral hygiene. Make sure your friend or loved one is brushing his teeth twice a day, using a fluoride-containing toothpaste, and flossing at least once a day. This can help prevent tooth decay, the most common reason for toothache.
Finally, make sure that your loved one or friend knows that a toothache is not something to be ignored. If he is having severe pain, having pain with fever, or noticing that the toothache has lasted for several days, he should see a dentist right away.
