Is there a good tooth-ache? Anyway, I've gotta wait a while for an appointment with the toothman. So please -- HELP.

Take couple Advil every four hours, don't exceed the maximum dosage per day. Once you get the Advil in your system you may be able to drop back to one every three hours or so.
Good luck, some toothaches can really be painful.

It's funny that you ask this question because I'm having the same problem.You should see a Dr if it is bad enough to where you are asking serious qustns such as this, I am using a gel the nameof it is "Olfen gel" but I was prescribed it from a Dr if your Drs medicine is not working mention this and try it, if possible. It is an inflamatory and also for pain ,well of course if the inflamation lowers so does the pain.You may not notice but your mouth maybe swollen and if you don't take care of this soon you may develop a click in your mouth, and this is serious, and you may need surgery.If serious also sometimes many people need braces, when this happens. If the teeth are hurting that bad maybe they are growing in wrong, although wisdom teeth are always very sore. I also use 400 mg ibuprofen twice a day 1 in the morning and 1 at night, the name is "brufen" it is just for teeth I believe and develops similar progresses as the "olfen gel." "brufen" is the "ibuprofen" brand. Drs can suscribe up to 1800 mg a day for this problem depending on the patient, Also WARNING- these medices should not be used together unless prescribed and should only be used in the order the dr prescribes. -but most importantly you need to go to the dr and hopefully I have given you enough information to get the RIGHT help if you don't have a good Dr.One more thing you may also need a night guard because the pain will sometimes cause you to clench your teeth while you are sleeping and this will cause more pain,swelling,clicking,ect. So Take Care of Your Teeth and Good Luck!

If you go into the dental section at a pharmacy or walmart/kmart you can look for a small package that has a small lip gloss looking container. It has a pink jelly inside of it and on the lid it has a picture of a tooth. You put that around the tooth and in one minute you can't feel any pain. It works wonders! there's also a box that has little sticks with a Q-tip on one end. The Q-tip has a bit of liquid on it and when you apply that to the area it also numbs the whole thing and you won't feel the ache for a few hours, depending on how bad the pain is and how much you apply to the area.

The best thing is Advil. You can take up to 3 at a time and rotate with tylenol every 4 hours. If you are still in pain go to the ER and they will prescribe you something till you can get to the dentist. Some ER's will refer you to a dentist and get you in sooner.

UNLESS YOU HAVE A PRESCRIPTION A NARCOTIC LIKE SOMEONE SUGGESTED IS UNAVAILABLE.
A GOOD ALTERNATIVE IS IBUPROFEN (ADVIL) 3-4 TABS EVERY 4-6 HOURS FOR THE CONTROL OF PAIN THIS IS EQUIVALENT TO TAKING A MOTRIN 800mg.
THE IBUPROFEN IS FOR SALE W/O A PRESCRIPTION AND MOST PEOPLE HAVE GREATER PAIN RERLIEF THAN NARCOTICS.
