Either I need a filling, or a root canal, I need to stop this very intense pain now.... I was told the rubbing alcohol would kill the root...

No. Rubbing alcohol is poisonous. Use oil of cloves instead.

Have you treated your dog with Frontline or Advantix? Have you removed the ticks? If not, I recommend calling your vet to request frontline or advantix, which will kill all the ticks within a few hours and prevent new ones from attacking your pup. Feel around your pups neck and ears to check for ticks still attached, use tweezers and gently tug, make sure that you don't break the tick, you have to get the head out of the dog's skin. Alcohol will not help the tick problem, it'll just aggravate your dog. But when you remove the live ticks from your dog, put them in a covered jar full of alcohol to kill them.

You don't want to "kill the root," because that will kill your tooth -- a sure way to make sure the pain increases. There's stuff made with clove oil (I can't remember the name, but you can find it in any drug store) that you can put on the aching tooth to numb things until you get to see a dentist. This is just a slightly weaker version of what a dentist will give you to use after a tooth has been removed.

Oil of Cloves followed by a trip to the dentist. If no Oil of Cloves handy then Nurofen. Good luck. I feel for you, toothache is misery :-(

no rubbing alcohol will not kill the root..the nerve needs to be removed called a root canal...try clove oil in pure form to help with the pain and an anti-inflammatory med like ibuprofen. get the tooth pulled or a root canal and crowned only options

Ohh, don't do that! Cloves have been used as a natural anesthetic for years. Make a paste of ground cloves and put a little on it. Try not to swallow it, though. A bit is ok, but not great gobs of it. That should help make it feel better.

NO NO NO, rubbing alchohol is toxic if taken internally. Use clove oil for the pain and then maybe take an ibuprofen for the inflamation. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Rubbing alcohol would probably kill the root, but it's also poisonous. Do Not Ingest.

No, it won't work. You need clove oil or Oragel. If the pain is intense, go to the ER for pain meds and get to a dentist.

Try aspirin too. It's a painkiller.
