I am a 20 year old with a terrible toothache. What can you eat when you have toothache?

Hello,
Sorry to hear about your toothache. What you can eat when you have a toothache really depends on when the tooth bothers you. If it bothers you only when you chew on it, then eating chewy foods or hard foods are going to cause more pain. It would be better to stick to soft foods and if need be avoid eating on that tooth. If it bothers you all the the time then it may not matter what you eat as it does not usually bother you more to chew on it. You may be able to eat on it or have to avoid it depending on how painful it is. You can get a free consultation at a dentist to find out what, if anything is wrong with the tooth. At that point, you would have a better understanding of what would ease your pain and the right things to eat.
Hope this helps.
My best to you!

Please see your dentist. Rinsing with warm salt water may help. Drink liquids. Mashed potatoes and mashed sweet potatoes. Whatever you are able to eat.
Avoid extreme hot or cold and hard foods or liquids. Get dental help.
