Here is a quick home remedy....pinch the skin between your index finger and your thumb while you press it will relieve the ache. There is nerves in that little flap of skin that triggers the brain. Good luck! If it is a cavity you can also mix 2 parts baking soda w/1 part water and use the putty of the mix as a "filler" till you can see the dentist !

You really need to be put on antibiotics because the nerve of your tooth is infected. You will need to have a root canal done to remove the nerve of the tooth if you want to keep your tooth. If not you will have to have it extracted. I have had one of my patients use Clove Oil not whole cloves and she said that id numbed the pain slightly! You could try this and see if it works. Good Luck and I hope that you get in to see your dentist soon. It is not good for your body to have an infection like that so get in to see your dentist ASAP!

The fact that you have pain may be an indicator that you have an abscess, which, if left untreated by the proper antibiotics, can move into the jaw. Believe me, you don't want this to happen.
Please contact your dentist immediately to have a prescription filled for an antibiotic to treat the abscess.
Good luck!

Hi!
Try the cloves from your kitchen- don't chew or swallow them; just keep them in your mouth and keep sucking it. They work wonders for me everytime. Are paracetamols at home- they are fine for a couple of hours too. You can also try giving a warm compress and meditation for a while- all these tips are tried and tested by me! I usually avoid all kinds of pain killers due to their effects on our bodies. Wishing you all the best! I hope that pain goes away soon- I know how it feels like to have a toothache! :(

GO TO THE STORE AND BUY SOME ADVIL. TAKE 3-4 EVERY 4-6 HOURS FOR PAIN AND SEE A DENTIST A.S.A.P.

put a clove in your cheek next to the bad tooth, if you have some.

Run to the drugstore and get the pharmacist to help you. If you have 'cloves" in your spices - try those!
