You can temporarily relieve the pain but you can't cure it; leave that for your dentist who after examination will determine the best treatment method.


  • Step 1
    Look for swelling of the gums or cheeks as an early sign of infection. Some discoloration may be present as well.

  • Step 2
    Rinse the mouth three or four times daily with a mixture of 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 liter warm water.

  • Step 3
    Apply cold packs to the cheek to minimize the pain.

  • Step 4
    Administer oral antibiotics immediately if evacuation is delayed. Before leaving for your trip, consult your physician for antibiotics used for tooth infections.

  • Step 5
    Evacuate immediately to a dentist or physician.
