Toothache 

A toothache can occur when pulp inside of a tooth becomes inflamed due to decay. If left untreated, it can become infected and lead to an abscess.

What to do

• 1. If someone is suffering from a toothache recommend that they take a dose of paracetamol.
• 2. Give them a source of heat that they can hold against the affected area.
• 3. To help relieve a toothache, suggest soaking a ball of cotton wool in clove oil and holding it against the affected tooth.
• 4. Advise the casualty to seek medical advice if they have a fever.
