If you have a toothache in the south (I assume you mean in southern regions or just generally having a toothache), here's what you can do.
First, rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Mix a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and swish it around your mouth for about 30 seconds. This can help reduce bacteria and relieve pain temporarily.
Over - the - counter painkillers like ibuprofen can also be taken to ease the pain. Follow the recommended dosage instructions.
If the pain is due to a cavity, it's best to see a dentist as soon as possible. The dentist may fill the cavity to stop the pain and further damage. If it's a gum problem, such as gingivitis, improving oral hygiene by brushing and flossing more carefully can help, and the dentist may also prescribe some antibacterial mouthwash.
