- Temporary dental wax: This is a soft, pliable material that can be molded over the sharp edge of your tooth to provide a barrier between it and your tongue. Dental wax is available over the counter at most drugstores.- Sugarless gum: Chewing sugarless gum can help to create a barrier between your tooth and your tongue and also stimulate saliva flow, which can help to wash away bacteria and debris.
- Cold compress: Applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek near the affected tooth can help to reduce swelling and pain.
- Over-the-counter pain relievers: If you are experiencing pain, you may want to take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
It is important to note that these are just temporary measures and you should still see a dentist as soon as possible to have your tooth repaired.
