Pinch the nerve in the muscle between your index finger and your thumb.
Make sure you feel a sharp pain in your hand.
If done properly, it will take the edge off of your toothache.

My Home Remedies and some tips for Toothache
Tip # 1:
Place I clove of Garlic dipped in rock salt on the affected tooth.
Tip # 2:
Place a piece of raw onion on the tooth.
Tip # 3:
A clove or clove oil applied on the tooth will help
Tip # 4:
Boil 5-6 cloves and 2- inch bark of a Margosa tree (Neem) in 1 cup of water. Strain and bottle. Store this in the fridge. Smear this decoction on the affected tooth.
Tip # 5
There are a lot of over-the-counter pain relievers that you can choose from. Most common are Paracetamol, Aspirin, and Acetaminophen. If you feel that a small swelling has occured, you may take NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) for its inflammatory action, like Ibuprofen and Mefenamic Acid. However, those with a history of of ulcers and those pregnant women needs a doctor's reccomendation when taking NSAID and Aspirin.
Tip # 6
Ice is excellent in numbing nerve endings. Try to compress the affected area with ice. But if it aggravates the pain, discontinue it.
Tip # 7
You may wonder why toothaches usually strikes at night when you lie down to go to sleep. The cause is the increased pressure towards your head. Keep your head elevated to decrease the pressure in the area.
Tip # 8
Most people suffering from toothache do poke the affected tooth with toothpicks You are aggravating the condition of your tooth. Discontinue it!
Tip # 9
Toothache needs an emergency treatment. A sharp, throbbing pain is usually irreversible, and the above remedies only releives the pain, not cure it.

I've had some toothaches that no pain medicine could relieve. Inside each tooth is a blood vessel too small to let much pain medicine in to a nerve large enough to cause a lot of pain. One of the few things I've found that have gotten me through until I can see a Dentist is to 'freeze' the aching nerve. Ice, ice water, freeze pops, the colder the better, will offer at least temporary relief. Good luck!

i dont know if this will work or unsanitary but back when i was a kid, everytime i would get a toothache my mom would always get a cotton ball half soaked in a perfume (any perfume) then she'll ask me to bite on it by where it hurts... it helped me before.

oil of cloves. It taste really bad but it works, or my grandma told me once to take the skin that is between your thumb and first finger on the side of your tooth ache and either pinch it till your pain goes away or put ice on it till your pain is gone, I know it sounds crazy but it works
