Answer 1

clove oil - available from pharmacies tastes minging but does the job

Answer 2

I just heard on television yesterday how helpful rubbing clove oil on your sore tooth is.
I just looked it up, and found this:

Toothache can be a sign of tooth decay. Only a Dental doctor can find the real cause of the pain. But let's try out some ways at home to control the pain.

Gargle with warm water or warm water mixed with salt, each time after food or after brushing every night.

Apply a little alcohol or clove oil or nutmeg oil to the effected tooth or area.

When there is pain, take a piece of ice and press it against the skin between your thumb and forefinger.

If you have severe pain, keep a piece of ice inside the mouth between the tooth and the cheeks for 15 minutes. Repeat four times a day.

Have lots of milk and leafy vegetables and calcium. Avoid sweet, sour and cold things which causes tooth decay.

When you have pain , never apply heat on your cheeks. If you are having an infection of the tooth applying heat will aggravate it.

Answer 3

I am in pain too due to toothache! Actually I thought you had an answer to the problem. But surely taking Paracetamol and Ibuprofen at the same time is not the solution. Actually any drug has some degree of unwanted effects immediately, sooner or later. Paracetamol could have effects on ones liver in the long run, ibuprufen, like aspirin could have some long term effects on your blood-clotting mechanism. I suggest 200-400mg of Brufen could relieve some of that aching, or 500-1000 mg of Paracetamol, depending on your body build. Taking both concomitantly does not make the situation any better. Simply try this: see a dentist, you may be thinking it is toothache when in fact it could be some inflamation of the gums. Find the cause of the ache and a solution will be within reach. "Get well soon "to your hubby, if he finds a cure let me know too, I could benefit.

Answer 4

I understand clove oil is supposed to be a good pain reliever for toothache. Any form of painkiller is really only intended to be a temporary solution though as this could mask some other problem. So consult the dentist A.S.A.P. The toothache is a warning, and the cause should be treated before the problem gets to far out of hand.

Answer 5

Immediate pain relief would come from something like 500ml of Paracetamol 2 x 4 times a day, the other thing I have used is Clove Oil. Then get yourself of to the dentist.

Answer 6

The best and most natural relief is to have a dentist fix it. Bu in the mean time, you could try what others are saying about clove oil, or some say baking soda.

I pesonaly found ibuprofin to work best (especially if taken with caffeine).

Answer 7

I suffered terribly with bad teeth, calcium deficiency, teeth pressing forward breaking, extractions ect,so with that in mind
when we hurt ourselves the first thing we do is to touch or rub the area that we think is damaged,bare with me you will see it's worth it !!.I studied SHIATSU or finger pressure it can be applied
in a massage or by simply touching using fingers or hands. OK
now to your tooth ache, when you cut your finger your bodies natural reaction is to send white cells to repair the damage,the pressure of this is why we bleed.With tooth ache the same thing but the cells have nowhere to go, hence the throbbing you are feeling now,put your finger where the throbbing sensation is, you will feel it like a pulse. If the ache is on your lower jaw the throbbing is coming from the veins running under your jaw, a finger length from your chin back,press and the pain will go,if on top jaw just in front of your ear, this is only temporary relief you must get to a dentist,be-ware although shiatsu is good at releiving pain please read up on it.

Answer 8

You could dab alcohol onto the affected area this would help clean it and may numb the pain, the best thing to do is gargle with a good mouthwash from your local pharmacy or bondjela and other liquids you dab on. I swear by it... the only cost a few pond and work
why the natural way?

Answer 9

Clove oil or anbesol will work temporarily for toothache but you should see a dentist so that they can treat the cause. Good luck.

Answer 10

Toothache is usually a sign of decay, and even if you found something natural to suppress the discomfort, the decay would still be there, and getting worse. You need to see a dentist.

Answer 11

Place a tea bag on affected area and leave in. The tea bag will draw the infection to the surface and you can take a needle and "poke" the site to drain it. Afterwards gargle woth a mixture of peroxide and water.
