Red Cross Toothache Medicine
It's what my oral surgeon recommended me buying when I had a horrible toothache and you can get it at any Walgreen's. The medicine numbs your tooth and the numbing lasts for 3-4 hours. It's some foul-tasting stuff but works wonders when you have a severe toothache.

omg. I have had a stupid wisdom tooth growing in for a week, and it has been hurting sooo bad.
I bought Orajel Medicated Toothache Swabs. their is medicine in a q tip looking thing, and it is easy to apply. but, of course, the numbing action only lasts for an hour or so.
I have been taking an asprin though, and that really seems to relieve the pain. then use the orajel when it is really bad.
Also, in the morning, I found that it hurt really really bad. but I figured out that if I slept kinda sitting up then the blood couldn't rush to my head, and make my mouth a throbbing ball of pain.
anyways. I hope I could help. and good luck with your ache.

See a dentist to truly cure the toothache. To relieve the pain try Ambesol.

Toothaches are painful but can be prevented
by take suitable precautions. Avoid eating
food which will result in the formation of acid
in the mouth, brush teeth regularly with a fluoride
toothpaste. I found the information at

Only the dentist can cure it, but a mouthful of whisky or brandy often numbs the pain for a while, there are other methods, but i'm assuming you want to stay above the law

You can lul the pain a little bit by using oil of clove or orajel but you are going to have to get to the dentist before you get a terrible infection - it's too close to your brain and you have to do something about it with prescription medications.

Rinse your mouth with about 1/4 to 1/2 spoon of red pepper.
I know it will burn a little, but the pain will go.
