This may be hard to hear, but chances are if you are already in pain you've waited to long. You will need to see a dentist for sure. For temporary relief over the counter you can take orajel maximum strength, unless you are allergic to local anesthetics. Rub a small amount on the gum and the cavity(area you feel the pain at) and this will give temporary relief of your pain until you can see a dentist. Just remember the sooner you go the better. Also, the earlier you get it taken care of, the cheaper it will be. I hope this helps.

usually when you have a great deal of pain in your teeth you are in need of a root canal
root canals are neccesary when a cavity is left unprotected which leads to the inner interior of the tooth (this is called th pulp.) The pulp area is what causes a great deal of pain as well as infection, when left untreated the infection can get into your bloodstream that can also lead to your brain and will then cause a much worse fatal and extremely contagious infection called meningitis. What the dentist does when getting a root canal is remove the pulp and replaces it with artificial material, and then a cemented crown (a tooth like cap made of plastic, porcelain, or gold.)

Take advil and some tylenol first. Go to the store and buy some Anbesol, that numbs it for a little while and helps if your gums hurt. Drink a couple beers, put a forzen pack of peas on your mouth, and go to the dentist tomorrow! If you don't have insurance, you can get worked on at a dental school for really cheap. I have friends who did it and they came out just fine.

Truly, what makes a guy attractive is his personality, but since you`re asking about the physical attributes, here`s my list...cleanliness, no BO, bad breath or dirty fingernails, med build, not scrawny or muscle bound, on the tall side, hair and eyes not important, nice smile, nice fitting jeans or trousers, not 10 folds at shoe tops, sport shirt, loafers. Leave the sneakers for jogging. Sun-glasses ok, otherwise contacts preferred.

My teeth haven't hurt terribly, but if they did, I'd go to a dentist.

You could do like I do and take about 800 mg. ibuprofen. Then ask all your friends if they have anything for pain till they think you are a dope addict. Then call the dentist and he will take care of your problem within a few days and you will wonder why you put it off.

See the dentist as soon as possible.
If your dentist already knows you, call. He may prescribe a stong pain medication directly to your pharmacy to hold you until you can get in to see him, depending on the level of your pain.

go to your dentist, you may need a flouride coating or you may have a cavity. he may suggest using a sensitive toothpaste. they work, i had sensitive teeth a while ago. i'm thinking you just need the toothpaste. but you don't really wanna mess around with your teeth, go to the dentist.
