I am in connecticut on vacation. I live in california and I know I need a root canal but it is going to cost a lot to fix it, plus xray costs and all. Is there something over the counter I can put on the tooth or gums to stop the pain? I have motrin 800 that I keep on using, but I won't be able to see my dentist til I get back, which is not until July 11th. Your help will be appreciated.

if orajel doesn't work try clove oil I swear by it. It stops the pain it taste like crap for about 2 minutes but it doesn't hurt after that. Just try it it. When my tooth was hurting I tried orajel it worked at first but it didn't stop the pain then I tried clove oil and within 5 mins the pain was absolutely gone no numbing feeling either like orajel. You can get it at the pharmacist.

Orajel really works, it takes the pain away right away. just pick it up at walgreens, rite aid, longs drugs...

I dunno, maybe orajel or something? Try that and he motrin you've been taking. Hope you get it taken care of soon!
