This is only until I can get to a dentist. I have had this throbbing toothache for about a week now and I've been taking aleve. At first, the aleve was helping but now it is not doing much. I have also heard bad things about aleve, so I want to lay of of that. I tried orajel, but that only made it worst. What do you guys truly recommend.

Toothaches or shall we say strange pain on one of your teeth or the gum-line is usually the starting point of severe or worst dental problems. Aside from giving you sleepless nights of painful miseries and difficult chewing, it could actually threaten your health. Before it's too late, get dental health care advices and solutions at http://www.themouthdoctor.com/dentalhealthcare/dentalhealthcare.htm and free yourself from the dangers of dental problems.

It could be either, but if it hit all of a sudden, it might just be a cavity that is down to the nerve a bit. I get that, and the dentist said it's just a cavity that needs filled. When my aunt needed a root canal, it was a constant throbbing for five minutes or more.

Don't know how you can put up with a toothache for a week! Although you have probably had it seen to by now - placing a clove by the offending tooth should give relief. - or you could try clove oil.

oil of clove (eugenol) won't cut it. Take 4 tablets of advil every 6 to 8 hours AND 2 extra strength Tylenol every 4 to 6 hours

TAKE 3-4 ADVIL (IBUPROFEN) EVERY 4-6 HOURS.
ALEVE (NAPROXEN SODIUM) IS 1 PILL EVERY 12 HOURS. THIS WOULD HELP SOME BUT NOT AS MUCH AS ADVIL.
ORAJEL IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY FOR THIS TYPE OF DENTAL PAIN. IT ONLY WORKS FOR MUCOUS TISSUE INJURIES LIKE SCRAPES, ETC.
GOOD LUCK W/THE DENTAL APPT.

When I have tooth problems, I take ibuprofen (600mg.) and use the orajel liquid. Its really strong, and works great!
