Answer 1

try clove oil directly on affected area

it can be found in most health food stores,
if you don't have one near you, then go to
you local grocery store & purchase some
whole cloves from baking aisle spice section.

Answer 2

I am sorry you are in so much pain. I have had bad teeth problems too. Tramadol is fairly strong (at least it is for me). I don't think there is much else you can do except try hot or cold packs and see if either one helps. I believe it is also safe to take Tylenol along with the pain killer to help the inflammation.

There is a long weekend coming up. If the pills do not start working you should go back into the dentist. I had an infected tooth once and needed a root canal. It was too infected to do the root canal that day. The doctor injected my gum area all around the tooth with Novocaine. He also gave me pain pills. The Novocaine "calmed" my tooth down so much that I did not need the pain pills. Ask your dentist to do this for you tomorrow.

Answer 3

Put Kanka on it, it will stop it fast, just doesn't last forever. Kanka can be bought at Wal-Mart and some other places as well. It will be found in the section where they have the other medicines for tooth aches. It will numb the area that is hurting. It comes in a small bottle and has a dark blue cap on it. They also have it in a pencil type dispenser that has a brush on it. Either one works, I use both of them.

Answer 4

Gargle with warm saltwater. Use Orajel. Try an ice pack. See a dentist because wisdom teeth can sometimes cause jaw problems. I've never tried this, but I've read that if you use ice to numb the area of your hand between your thumb and index finger, that "V" area, it helps toothache pain. It's like part of the same path. Could be worth a try. Feel better.

Answer 5

Gargle with warm salt water right on that area.
Eat & take 600 mg ibuprofen or Motrin. Take every 6 hours until you can call the Doctor tomorrow & let him know the meds are ineffective.
