Stay away from the kool-aid. Take up oral sex, it's fat free, and sugar free.

For temporary relief from toothache try Paracetamol or similar, but no more than eight [8] tablets per day. Go to your supermarket and buy some oil of cloves. Your local pharmacist may stock this too. Rub the oil of cloves over and around the gum area next to the tooth which hurts.
The cure for a bad tooth is a visit to the dentist.

yup, labor is up there. Herniated discs are pretty bad. Plantar fasciitis - is horrible and hard to get any relief from. But, yeah, a bad toothache - it's hard to get any relief from also - clove oil helps - I don't know how old you are and I'm sure some people will say you shouldn't do this - but it helped - I would swish like a tsp of whiskey up on the area and then spit it out - sometimes I'd swallow it if I had some food in my stomach. go see a dentist as soon as you can.

I feel for you. When I was a kid it seemed I had a constant toothache....I inherited terrible teeth, and we were too poor to go to the dentist.
I do not drink, however, I know from experience that if you have access to some whiskey, and can hold some in your mouth, in the area of the aching tooth, it will alleviate the pain. I am not advocating that you drink the whiskey. Take a couple of aspirins and call your dentist immediately for an appointment.

As temporary relief until you can get to the dentist...pop along to the chemist, and ask for either tooth tincture, or clove oil. Put a few drops of either of these on a small pad of cotton wool, and tuck in your mouth between your cheek and the offending tooth. This will give some relief until you can get to the dentist. Also, providing you have no stomach complaints,i.e. an ulcer, you can take Ibuprofen both to relieve pain, and to reduce any swelling.

Oil of Cloves - you can buy it from a chemist. Soak a scrap of cotton wool in the oil and put it against the painful tooth. It will numb the pain for a while. It stinks though.
You can also buy Clove Oil Gel from Tescos etc which is less smelly and messy.

It's a fact that toothaches or shall we say strange pain on one of your teeth or the gum-line is 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.

Try oil of cloves as a temporary measure, can be bought at most chemists, if in UK? dab a bit on area which is sore, takes a bit of time but numbs the pain.
