Mrs. Miller	Go to the dentist of course but in the meantime, try using Clove oil which you can get from any chemist. I've also heard that some people actually put a Clove against their gum (where the pain is) and this is said to ease pain but I haven't tried that myself. Good luck with it - I know how horrible toothache feels!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

smiley_1714	u can take Paracetamol and Ibuprofen (as long as u dont suffer from asthma, stomach problems and high blood pressure) also u can rub something like anbesol on to the gum, swill around the tooth with warm salted water and spit it out and u could put a warm hot water bottle against ur cheek. You then need to see ur dentist as soon as u can. If u live in England that could be a pain in its self finding one. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lara h	Try using anti inflammatory i.e Ibuprofen, Diclofenac. ...and oil of cloves....although that is awfull and it feels like it burns a little,there again that takes your mind off your tooth for a minute or 2,.I think there is nothing worse than toothache and earache..good luck Was this answer helpful to you?

dreamwhip	Get to the dentist immediatelt, because it will only get worse and an absess can actually be quite dangerous. The strnage thing about tooth pain is that often it is transfered paon and it is not even the actual tooth you think it is that has the problem.In the meantime I have found that Motrin actall makes my tooth pain feel better than hydrocodone prescribed by te dentist. I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD THAT IF YOU LET AN Aspirin MELT ON THE TOOTH IT WILL PROVIDE RELIEF, BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DO IT--COULD NOT STAND THE TASTE Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Iris	Tooth ache is hell but there are two methods that work without going to d dentist but they are temporary solutions. 1- take this pain killer: Profenid + Zantac( anti stomach ache med.) just make sure u dnt have ulcer & ur nt allergic to something in its generic component, & 2- try drinking Sage or clary a herb that is great for all aches, muscular spasms, cramps & cold. Don't over use Sage or clary as it has a sedative effect n can cause loss of short term memory & can get u drugged. Try seeing a dentist as soon as u can. Get well soon. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Teri	Yes I do! Get a ruler, your own nail would do just as well, and press against the ends of your fingers. It will hurt but hold it to a count of 10 seconds. When you find the point representing the area that hurts the most in your mouth, you will feel a worse pain. That's the one you hold in spite of the pain which will be only temporary but your pain will go away. This is how they used to pull teeth without going to the dentist or freezing the mouth. It really works. I promise! Teri Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ma d	** READ THIS Thats great, Im sure your reading these answers and thinking yea yea yea I already took pain meds and they are not working and I dont have cloves and I am in pain right? Well go to your kitchen and get a empty PLASTIC bottle and fill it with HOT water and place it on the area where the tooth hurts and when the water starts to get cold ill bet your pain is gone but if not put more hot water in it ( heating pad will also work ). and yes make sure you take Advil because the other stuff is junk, most people can usually take 800mg at 1 time. I am not a Dr. but I know this works. If you take 800mg then you will have to wait about 8 hours to take more Advil. just so you know some people have stomach and other problems from taking Advil** and stuff like that so use with caution. And im sure you know to go to the dentist as soon as possible because it might be infected. good luck, mad Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
