My tooth just started throbbing yesterday. Any ideas on how to help it before I go to the denists?

ambesol
applied directly to the tooth.

Well my dear. Its sounds a bit like toothache what you have. It happens when a tooth begins to feel painful. Nerves in your tooth are sending messages to your tiny brain which is in turn telling you you have pain in your tooth. During the tooth ache you should hit your thumb with a big hammer this will send another message to your brain telling you that you have more pain in your thumb. Your tiny brain will then over ride the tooth ache signal and it will concentrate on the thumb ache instead. Thus you will forget about your tooth ache. How cool is that.

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

My father used to tell me to rub Gin on my gum when I was a kid with a toothache.
I know you're thinking alcohol and kids don't mix, but it was only a wet finger's worth and it really helped num the gum. And my father is a tenured professor not like a drunken bad dad or something.

Go to the drug store, buy a bottle of Anbesol, dab it on the tooth and it will deaden the tooth in seconds.

take a swig of whisky hold it over tooth for a fwe seconds then either spit it out -or swallow it -according to taste! or if you have a baby in the house use a baby teething gel this also works

Don't use ambesol it burns your gums. Try a lil peice of ginger root .
Cut a small sliver of the root and place it on your gum it numbs with out burning it's a natural pain killer

You can use warm salt water and swish it around in your mouth for a couple of minutes. Good Luck

it will be gross, but take a whole clove and rub it on the painful area. otc helpers are good too if you can afford to buy that stuff, like anbesol. check with your pharmacist

Whatever you do do not go to the dentist, they will plant your teeth with cavities to keep you coming back as a good customer.
