You won’t feel pleased when you experience a toothache, of course. Nobody gets excited about this or simply ignores it. When your tooth hurts, you notice it and you want to make it better. So, what should you be doing to attain relief? Is it a good idea to treat it yourself? Should you be racing to call us to schedule a visit? You may already have the answers (or you might need some extra help in this department). Let our quiz be your guide!

Quiz Questions: True or False?

  1. True or False: If you have a toothache, you should not do anything to artificially find relief. Otherwise, you will have a hard time knowing whether the tooth is better or not.
