My mom has a tooth ache, she went to the dentist and where he had drilled and replaced the tooth she says it hurts really bad and she done took 2 ibuprofen (500 mg each) and 2 aleves. Does anyone know anything that will help?

Obviously a visit to your dentist is a priority. You will get some ease if you use oil of cloves. Iprubrofen tablets are also effective.

Just like everyone else - clove oil! Soak a cotton bud in it and place it on the tooth. You can get it in Boots, but if you can't find it, chew an actual clove, which you can get in the supermarket! This truly and honestly does get rid of the pain. However, it will not fix the underlying problem that is wrong with the tooth, it will just take the pain away. If, after a week of this, the tooth is still sore without the clove oil, your mum should go back to the dentist as the dentist has probably screwed something up and there will still be bacteria getting in there. But give it a try.

The drilling may have aggravated the nerve in the tooth. This wont necessarily by the dentists fault. Sometimes a filling maybe close to the nerve and set it off. Certainly if the tooth is sensitive to hot and cold (especially hot) then you need to be seen again. Also if the tooth is tender to touch could be indication that the nerve is aggravated and could be dying. Don't panic though. Even if th tooth dies you may?? be able to save it with treatment called root canal treatment. This is a fairly involved process but can have great results but is more often than not No Guarantee. I would advise you phone you dentist and or contact the Dental Helpline number for you area. (find this by typing dental helpline and your county in the web search bar).
Nurofen is your best option for a pain killer though!
Remember...sensitive to hot and or tender to touch = see you dentist!
Please this is only advice.

the clove oil helps for a while but personal experience says freshlybakedj is right. Consider getting a new dentist if the current one can't figure this out. X-ray may reveal the decay breached the root canals, and that means nothing will make it go away but root canal surgery or pulling the tooth. I did the first; if your dentist is good it's not so horrible, it's just time consuming and a bit expensive.

I'm glad she's already consulted a dentist!
She can try soaking a cotton ball in "oil of clove" and letting it sit on the affected tooth. I've heard good feed-back regarding this method of pain relief.

Oil of cloves, also Clove oil, is an essential oil from the clove plant. It is a natural analgaesic used primarily in dentistry for its active ingredient eugenol. It can also be purchased in pharmacies over the counter, as a local anaesthetic for dental pain relief, mainly toothache; it is also often found in the aromatherapy section of health food stores. The oil produced by cloves can be used in many things from flavouring medicine to remedies for bronchitis, the common cold, a cough, fever, sore throat and tending to infections. Its country of origin is India.

First you should go to a doctor who will prescribe an antibiotic so the infection that you probably have will stop, or for an instant pain relieve, crush an aspirin and put it over the hurting teeth or a clove like the ones you use to cook. That will work but only temporary, go see a doctor.

When I cannot find a dentist I have put a piece of dry bread between the teeth and the pressure of closing the jaw helped me under extreme circumstances to.
