Dentek toothache kit
A toothache kit may temporarily protect a painful tooth, but it cannot diagnose or treat decay, a crack, pulp inflammation, or an abscess.
The short answer
The clinical issue is tooth pain, which may arise from exposed dentine, inflamed pulp, a cracked tooth, gum disease, or a wisdom tooth.
