Sometimes applying pressure to the offending tooth socket (place finger on outer skin of mouth) will help a little.
WARM liquid swished in the mouth will "sometimes" help as well, and Aspirin applied to the tooth will oftentimes help relieve the pain.
I hope somebody comes up with a plan that will help. I know how painful a tooth ache can be.

Ok,heres what I do with tooth pain. First I take 2 tylenol, then I put a really warm/hot as I can stand it tea bag on my tooth. Then 2 hrs later I take 2 advil and call a dentist. Sorry there is no cure for the dentist.

You can try taking Tylenol then take an other pain medication like Advil 2 hours later as long as they are two different drugs you can double up on them until you can get to a dentist. You could also call you local emergency room and see if they have anyone on staff that can numb someone up that has a toothache, some Er's do that.

Sleep on an extra pillow to elevate your head. Sleep on the side that does NOT have a toothache. If that doesn't work, you can move to a recliner or the sofa so you can keep your head really elevated. This will minimize the blood flow to the area and therefore minimize the throbbing and pain. It might help you make it through the night.

A chunk of clove will ease the pain until ya can get some meds. Just stick it in the cavity and it dulls the pain.

Toothaches are the worse! Go to a dentist asap. But if you have any liquor in the house, you can swish it around in your mouth and it will help for a few minutes. Don't swallow it - because you'll be doing it again in another 20 minutes. But it does help for a few minutes. (It might be enough to get you through the night) Also you can try orajel - it numbs the pain for a short time.

a combination of tylenol and ibuprofen is just as good as any narcotic. Take 2 extra strength tylenol and an ibuprofen every 4 hours until the morning when you can see a dentist. Also like Dr. Sam suggested, prop your head with some pillows when you sleep to minimize the blood flow (and pressure) to the head.
