Ok i have no insurance, no money, and major teeth issues. I'm petrafied of the dentist too. I had sedation dentistry work done about ayear ago and had 8 of them fixed but i have much more i need done. some of my teeth are broken in half and all.
I know I need to get to the dentist but what can i do in the mean time? i've read about cloves but does this work if you have broken teeth (some no tooth at all just a brown stump)? I need something to aleviate pain to hold me off for a couple of months till I get insurance which should be in like 3 months. then ill go. any ideas?
cuz i know most of them solutions are very temporary. If i take penecillin it helps but i'm out now.

clove oil, cloves, ice packs,(no heat) you can get tylenol 1, with codeine by aking the pharmacist, no prescription. Orajel or anbesol (try extra strength liquid) use a Q-tip and hold it there, really makes a difference.You can try rubbing the gums behind the tooth with your finger. Switch from one to the other, Advil to tylenol, sometimes that helps. Try rinsing your mouth with water.
I read someone's answer a different time for tooth pain, and they mentioned vanilla? I've heard rinsing your mouth with cinnamon, too. By the way, my husband used to crush tylenol/aspirin and put it on the tooth directly, he said it would help for the moment, but the tooth would crumble. Hope some of this helps!

You might try Maximum Strength Oral-Gel or Maximum Strength Ambesol. If the penicillin helps then you obviously have some infection in your gums or in the root areas of some of your teeth. You really should be seen by a dentist. You might try a Clinic or your local area Health Dept.. They might know of someone that can see you or they might can get you something for your pain until you can be seen by a dentist.

Because you have so much wrong with your teeth. I had alot of the same. I heard of something that might help. In a small glass mix 1/4 of hydrogen peroxide and fill the rest of the glass up with water. Rince three times a day untill you get to the dentest. And after you are done with him or her you need to keep rincing twice a day for three months. It really works. And for pain take Excedrin extra strength every six hours. Good luck from Arizona

Hey there, I forget what it is called, but they have an over-the-counter remedy for painful teeth/gums. You can get it at any major grocery store/drug store and it is usually found near the tylenol. I used it while waiting to get my wisdom teeth removed...it helped for awhile but not for all-day. I would go to your counties website and see if they have a govt. way to get dental care. Or see if you can get on welfare and go about it that way and have the govt. pay for it. Good luck!!

Dissolve aspirin on your teeth & use Anbesol. I've used aspirin many times & it works. A friend swears by Anbesol.
Hang in there... good luck!

Have you tried the dental school in your area? You may also look into your local dental societies and see if there are any clinics that do the dental work for people who don't have ins at a reasonable fee. Penicillin can only help for so long.

obsessively brush and floss, gargle until my mouth is numb, then chew whitening gum on the way there and only drink water before the appointment, sometimes brushing my teeth in the bathroom at the dentists office before I get called back too,

Are you near any colleges? Some have dental schools that will work with you. How about Dept. of Social Services? Medicaid?
Ow.

Try asprin, warm compresses applied to the outside of your cheek, ambesol, and I know it sounds crazy, but gargle with a strong hard liquor like whiskey. That will kill any bacteria.

You need to go to the dentist, there is no temporary fix.
Go see a proffesional.
