Unless you can do an RCT (root canal) or extraction by yourself, go see your dentist.

I think it is best to see a dentist about that. These things are best left in the hands of professionals. Don't attempt to remove the tooth yourself, this may be dangerous, especially since you don't really know the cause of the pain.
If you are looking to ease the pain, go to the chemist and get some good paracetamol. I used to find that oil of cloves eases the pain of a toothache, though I am not sure if you can still purchase it. Get some paracetamol for the pain though, and see a dentist as soon as you can. I know how you feel a tootache can be the worst kind of pain, but as annoying and painful as it is don't attempt to remove the tooth yourself, and don't ask anyone else to do it either.

ooooh my sympathies, I think there is nothing worse than tooth pain. If it really hurts go to your dentist, if you dont have one and live in UK then ring NHS direct and tell them you are not sleeping due to pain and they will emergency refer you to a dentist within 24 hours. I had an infected root canal and it killed soooooooooo much, I took my friends medications (god knows what they were!!) they helped for a bit then its was back so I seriously asked my fella to chop my little finger off to escape the pain in my face cos it was soooooo bad. The dentist 24 hours later and £160 was such a relief I didnt even feel the injections and they fixed it. They will let you pay in installments. In the mean time try paracetamol (x2) and an Ibuprofen (up to 400mg) together at the same time, they won't hurt you but do not exceed the stated dose in 24 vhours on the box or take any other pain killers with it. For temporary gum relief get some oil of cloves from the pharmacy and put it on the tip of your finger and touch your gum, it tastes VILE but numbs the area for a short while and helps with wisdom teeth too. Good luck. Get it seen to or it will get worse trust me.

go to the dentist for an exam first and foremost...I work at a dental office so I know for certain that the dentist will give you 2 options: 1. extract the tooth, 2. or do a root canal on it. The dentist might also prescribe you antibiotics as you may have an infection.

Clove oil. Very strong AND NOT TO BE DRUNK. It may even be toxic, but I am not a Pharmasist. Put a drop on a cotton bud or your finger and rub it into the sore part. It will burn but then you will feel nothing.
It can last up to six hours. Boots usually sell it. I have found it in a pack of "DenTek" sold there. The pack may contain other temporary solutions to the cause of your tooth ache.

Normally a dentisit is the best option.
But I pressume you want to sort it out for yourself for whatever reason. Get some chives oil and put that on to numb the pain, gets some pliars and pull it out. Not slowly or gently, just one good grip, and short hard pull.
Or do what the Hill billy did in the USA, get a gun and try and shoot it out, he succeeded but got the wrong tooth and made a mess of his face, surived.

u don't need to kill off ur tooth , u rdentist will do the best , i guess u r pain signifies that pulp has got infected , there is nothing to worry , before it get worsen lik e( sewlling , abscess) go to dentist , that can be treated by root canal treatment and there after placing a crown over i t, and can preserve ur tooth .
if ur pulp i snot infected that can be restored by simple restorations ( cements )
bye

The only way is a root canal, but temporary relief is maximum streangth oral gel, or get a bottle of whiskey, and a q-tip, and rub that on your tooth. Hot tea bags also work great to bring out the infection.

well, one time when I was stranded on an island with a volleyball, I knocked my own tooth out with an ice skate. It hurt so bad that I passed out, but the pain was killing me and I had to do something!

You should go to the dentist and have it done correctly. If you try and pull it yourself you run the risk of seriously injuring yoruself and possibly getting the open wound infected. It's not a good idea.
