Most of the answers below are good advice. Cloves are good, mouthwash, alcohol etc. but ultimately a trip to the dentist is inevertable for long term relief. dont forget toothache is always 100% worse at night and the nights seem to be very long. So try these temporary remedies until you can make an appointment to see the Dentist

I am in the process of a horrible toothache myself but you can lessen the pain by taking a couple of tylonal (or advil, asparin, whatever you use for headache or pain. brew a cup of tea (Good strong tea, leave the tea bag in) slowly drink the tea holding the tea in your mouth a few secounds before swollowing, this is as good, in my opinion as the warm salt water remedy, which is also good. you can also take the tea bag out of the water and squeeze the excess water out and place the tea bag directly on the troubled tooth, there is something in tea, tannic acid that toughens up the gums and acts like a "number" you can also take an asparin and place it on the tooth too., until it desolves. It helps to be in a reclined position , prop your head up with pillows , make sure , even though it may hurt, to brush your teeth softly and use a full strength antiseptic mouth rinse several times a day to keep bacteria out of the sore tooth. avoid any cold drinks. even breathing with your mouth open can cause the tooth to throb with the intake of air. I sympathize with you, and believe me I tried it all . If you want to resort to an over the counter remedy Oragel medicated toothache swabs have given me relief too, they look like cotton buds(Q-tips) you snap the tip off and swab the other end that has a measured amount of novocaine in it to the bad tooth , good luck.

Rinsing with peroxide will help to get rid of some of the bacteria, and may relieve some of the pressure. Lightly chewing on whole Cloves will give a numbing effect and is very safe, even for small children.

gargling warm salt water will help your toothache but don't do it to much or it will make your tooth very sore. You can also use a denture pain reliever called Benzadent. use this occasionally because this also can make your tooth sore if you use to much

dentists. when you have a toothache it's because you have an infection or a decay tooth. you can't treat it at home unless you are a dentist.

put some vodka on a q-tip and rub it all around the tooth.
it burns for just a second, but lasts MUCH longer than ambesol
get to your dentist asap

You can try crushing an asprin in a small glass of water and swishing it around your tooth!

place a tylenol or similar aspirin directly on the tooth. Swishing around a shotglass of whiskey seems to help.
