How do you make a tooth ache go away?

Question

Lately I have developed a major tooth ache and I dont have any cloves or garlic for a home remedy and am broke. Does anyone know if there is something else that will make the pain stop. PLEASE I HAVENT SLEPT 2 DAYS .... i also quit smoking a week ago could this be causing it?

Answer 1

put a peice of ice in the palm of your hand if it doesnt work switch hands

Answer 2

Quitting smoking won't cause that. Try to put an aspirin against the offending tooth and let it dissolve. That's a temporary fix. A round of broad spectrum antibiotics would be ideal if you can get ahold of some amoxicillan. When you can afford to, if it's still hurting go to the dentist. You might even consider pawning something so you can afford the visit. There is nothing worse than a bad tooth and you have my sympathies. Good luck.

Answer 3

Smoking can cause oral decay after prolonged use (years), since I don't your dental medical history I cant say for sure. Do you brush at least once a day, floss and what not? If not it may not be from the smoking. you could* have cavity. Try dissolving an Advil tablet on the tooth, or any aspirin (Acetaminophen) I think there's stuff you can buy from the store specifically for tooth ache. Its like a gel you put on the tooth. Hope that helps man.

Answer 4

No quiting smoking does not give you a tooth ache. How ever you can get a tiny trial size bottle of brandy and rub a dab of it on your tooth and your gum in front and behind your painful tooth... after a few minutes the pain will go away and you can fall fast asleep! The brandy will numb the pain!

Answer 5

Like others have said, only a dentist will be able to alleviate your pain. Your tooth may be abscessed and, if so, you need to take care of it immediately. I have had more than I care to remember, and they create one of the worst pain. When I have been unable to get to the dentist right away, I have used tea bags. Wet one slightly and then bite on it, but not hard enough to release the tea. The tanic acid in the tea eases the pain temporarily. I also take two Excedrin and that usually helps.

Answer 6

go see a dentist! try and pull the tooth out go to the tool cupbord/ box and grab apair of pliers or use the old string and door trick.
you never know it could be all in the mind.
have you tried aspirin/ paracetamol etc?
ask a friend to hit you somewhere else about your body to get you mind off the tooth ache?

just a few thoughts. i can't guarantee anyof them but good luck and get well soon.

Answer 7

maybe, but you could try rinsing you mouth with some salt water, it works for me sometimes, just add a half teaspoon of salt to some water and gargle with it, but try and see a dentist some how, maybe go to your local health dept. or something, haveing a tooth ache is the pit's.
hope this helps

Answer 8

Its easy, stump your thumbs with nails
LoLzzz sorry it was only joking
I have an idea... but this one is nasty (but it really works!!!)
Catch a snail and use its glue and put it on your aching teeth
It will reduce your toothache
Its worth trying *_*

Answer 9

Hi there, a good effective method would be to mix warm water with salt, stir it and gargle in mouth for ten seconds or longer and spit it out. This will help ease the pain for a while.
