You could try Oragel, that numbs it up, works great for me most of the time.
Also clover oil, aswell as ibrupofen and paractetamol.
Dont take them too often though as you might find yourself throwing up which doesnt help toothache.
I once got a very bad toothache and it was so bad I couldnt care less how many I was taking, toothache eventually went, then I'm sick in the night and toothache is back ten times worse.
Also keep away from all sweet food/drinks, it'll help the toothache and you'll probably lose weight too.
Pharmacys are full of stuff for toothache.
And you will need to go to a dentist eventually, longer you leave it the worse it'll get..

I'm not really big on so-called natural remedies, so I would recommend using the topical gel Anbesol. It's a pain reliever containing 20% benzocaine. You can also take Motrin or Advil. I would also suggest you not wait too long to see a dentist. Your toothache can be a sign of a more serious underlying bacterial infection which, in worst cases, can spread to the brain. Pain reliever should only be used temporarily until you can get an appointment. Good luck

Paracetamol and Ibuprofen are only a quick temporary fix. Trust me, tooth aches, never ever disappear they just get worse so you're better off going to the dentist and dealing with it. Some dentists operate a Saturday and evening service why don't you make enquiries then you don't have to take time off work.

Go to the Dentist, it's the only answer sorry! If you listen to the rest you are likely to get an infection which can infect your heart and you may die sorry but those are the hard facts so it's your choice go to a dentist or ?

You can take some Tylenol or Motrin. But that will only be a temporary fix. You should really see a dentist with in a few days so it does not get worse and ends up getting infected.

Use whiskey as you would Listerine . gargle and spit. It will numb it for a bit and keep the bottle next to the bed if you wake up from the pain. Old one , but still works, get your tail to the dentist ASAP. Toothaches are a nightmare. Good Luck. Messtograves
