Answer 1

Oh, I feel for you, I dealt with tooth pain for many years before finally having them pulled and getting an upper denture. Drink from a straw, nothing too cold or acidy. Get some over the counter tooth ache jell. It will help calm the pain, and if you are not allergic, advil worked great for me. Advil/Ibuprophen is a nonsteroidal antiflamitory agent, so it will reduce inflamation. I also had problems with infection, so get to the dentist ASAP for propholactic antibiotics. You dont want infection so close to your brain, could get really bad quick.

Answer 2

Probably no way unless you have some pain medication. The spice "cloves" will help. But I have had a toothache so bad that 3 perkiadan's would not faze it. My dentist told me the next day that a toothache is one of the most painful things a person can go through. Even first to a kidney stone.
I had a friend that had a stone and watched him drank a quart of 100 proof Vodka and he was still screaming. He tried to pass out but could not. To the ER we carried him....

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.

here are some home remedies you could try:
1. mix some allum and a pinch of table salt with some lukewarm water. gargle for 3 minutes and do this twice a day.
2. mefelnamic acid would ease the pain... take one 500mg tablet every 4 hours
3. dip a small cotton ball on a dish of lukewarm saltwater. make sure it's totally soaked. then bite on this cotton ball with your painful tooth

Answer 5

"Just rub ice on the back of your hand, on the V-shaped webbed area between your thumb and index finger. A Canadian study found that this technique reduces toothache pain by as much as 50 percent compared with using no ice. The nerve pathways at the base of that V stimulate an area of the brain that blocks pain signals from the face and hands."

Answer 6

put ice on the part of jaw hurting for ten min intervals. Also some kinds of mouth pain liquid, pain relivers or toothache gum.

Answer 7

Sure: Get one (1) pinto bean. (2) crack it open - lengthwise. (3) place the inside part of the pinto bean between your gum and lip where the pain exists. (4) leave the pinto bean in your mouth (although your breath will smell). Some how, the pinto bean will rest on your gum where it wants to, so don't remove it. THIS SHOULD TAKE AWAY YOUR PAIN UNTIL YOU CAN GO TO A DENTIST. I know it works. You will need to replace the pinto bean once it fails to stick to your gums.

Answer 8

As a temporary measure you can pack the decay area with a aspirin. It works. Just wet the aspirin and stuff it into the tooth. But you can only do this once as it is not good for your gums to do it too much. Helps in a pinch.

Answer 9

hmm... try some salt water that fixes everything! or will at least put a yukky feeling in yuor mouth and you'll forget the toothache... lol nah try chewing gum! chewy is actually quite soothing for sore teeth... like rub it around the tooth it feels good

Answer 10

orajel works pretty good and try putting a wet cloth inside of your mouth i did that when i had a terrible toothache and it helps a lot.
